Our lab UAlberta Chemistry has 3 PhD/MSc positions open for Fall 2025 in catalysis and synthetic organic chemistry. Contact me via email if interested!

Excited to announce that a project I had worked on during my internship at Xenon is finally out and published in #JOC: a new hydrodifluormethylation method that affords high diastereoselectivity from N-heteroaryl alkenes! J Org Chem/Org Lett pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

Delighted to share our work "Convergent Synthesis of Bicyclic Boronates via a Cascade Regioselective Suzuki-Miyaura/Cyclisation Protocol" published in Chem Comm as part of the emerging investigators collection Hannah Kortman Peter Seeberger Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…


Join us this morning from 9:00-10:40 am for Bagels and Brew! Catch up with colleagues and chat with this year’s Ayer Lecturer Mark Lautens OC (from 9:45-10:15) before his seminar today!


We are currently looking for a postdoc (organic synthesis) to start spring 2025 or sooner Meanwell Lab #ChemPostdoc #ChemTwitter. Email [email protected] if interested.

A team of UAlbertaScience researchers has developed an improved method to create nucleoside analogues—key molecules in treatments for cancer, viral diseases, and more. Led by Michael Meanwell, the team reduced the process from up to 16 steps to just five, paving the way for
