HPLC Method Development Bootcamp: A Straight-Forward Approach to Solve 80% of Separation Problems

High-performance liquid chromatography is supposed to be complicated, right? Imagine trying to find the correct mobile phase, stationary phase, column length, diameter, particle size, solvent strength, buffer, pH, etc. But it is a lot simpler than people think. The majority of HPLC analyses can be accomplished on a good reversed phase column with the correct acetonitrile/water or methanol/water gradient. The major limitation is often our knowledge of HPLC fundamentals. Lee Polite of Axion Analytical labs will lead this bootcamp to help you polish those fundamentals to a working shine.

Exploring Alternative Careers in Chemistry: Part 2

With more uncertainty in the job market for traditional research jobs than in the past, alternative career paths are becoming more attractive. Join us for the second part of our series that seeks to help chemists find employment outside of the bench as we gather a diverse panel that includes Rachel Mohler of Chevron, Teresa Fryberger of the National Academy of Sciences, Mary Beth Mulcahy of the Chemical Safety Board, and Jyllian Kemsley of Chemical & Engineering News. The panelists will expose you to several distinct fields that rely fundamentally on chemistry. If you have not been thinking about such possibilities, this broadcast will give you the opportunity to hear from chemists working in nontraditional positions as well as add your own voice to the discussion.

Tuberculosis: An Introduction for Medicinal Chemists

Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death from an infectious disease and a leading example of antimicrobial resistance. Carl Nathan of Weill Cornell Medicine will review the biology that frames the problem, the innovation gap that exacerbates it and the new work that qualifies TB drug discovery as an innovation engine.
