Expectation of postdocs to move around is just unrealistic and you need to be extremely privileged to do it. It's a huge (unfair) reason why so many talented researchers are lost along the academic pipeline. science.org/content/articl…

Just accepted in Angewandte Chemie, we report a tunable system for C4/C5 Pyridine C-H arylation using Zincke imine intermediates. Congrats to Haiwen for all his work on this solo effort! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Thrilled to say that from Jan 2024 I will be taking a position as a Postdoctoral Fellow at AstraZenecaUK at their Cambridge Discovery Centre. Excited for this next chapter

Congratulations Tom Wharton on winning the RSC Medicinal Chemistry Poster Prize at the @RSC_CBBG forum last week👏 Spring Group

Out now in Chemrxiv, we're excited to report a simple protocol for the direct synthesis of benzenes from pyridines, through an N to C switch. Congrats to Aife for her work on this project! chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

Top work from some top labmates!

Our lab website is now live + we're hiring for Fall 2024! Check out lam-lab.ca to see what we'll get up to at Chemistry@UVic, and reach out if you'd like to be part of the team! #chemtwitter #chemistryPhD #ochem

Thomas Wharton: release the amides! Check out this lovely piece of work from the Spring Group group on the controlled release of amide containing molecules onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Entry 9, from TechnoFisher

Smiles rearrangements at it again 💪🏻

Just accepted in Angewandte Chemie, we report an amide linked, photocatalytic STR biaryl synthesis that can be telescoped to achieve a challenging C-N arylation of anilines. Check out Tom Sephton's work here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Congrats Nick and the team!

Was great to see the work come to life! Congrats to the Phipps team on a great paper. Another testament to the power of cinchona alkaloids 🧪 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We have just published a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Fellow – Biocatalysis in Drug Discovery at Astrazeneca in Gothenburg, SE: organic-chemistry.org/jobs/offers/?q… - please check and share!
