Chemical Transparency: The Value of Ingredient Disclosure

The process of drug discovery and development is a path that enlists the expertise of many while in pursuit of the one novel entity that rises above a host of potential candidates. For peptides this can be a daunting task given molecule complexity, physiochemical properties, receptor selectivity and scale-up of material. This presentation will discuss the discovery of our Glucagon agonist and how to use innovative technologies, focused SAR, and effective integration of a unique multidisciplinary team in the drug discovery process.

José Navarro was excited for his new career after landing a job in the poultry industry. After five years on the job, 37 year-old Navarro began coughing up blood. He died soon after when his lungs and kidneys failed. His death triggered a federal investigation raising questions about the health risks associated with the use of toxic chemicals in poultry plants. Millions of workers are exposed to chemicals everyday on the job. All workers have the right to know about the chemicals they work with and community health workers can be an important source of information and support for workers. This workshop will teach community health workers how to explain what happens when someone is exposed to chemicals and how workers can best protect themselves

In 60 minutes, examine the fundamentals of chemical process safety from a work process perspective and how to integrate them within your operation, including inherently safer design, pre-start-up and operating reviews, and process hazard analysis. Take this webinar for a fresh look at work flow along with the various activities involved in managing chemical risk, how they are relatd and how they build upon each other.

Have you ever been at the lab bench mindlessly performing a repetitive task, wondering if a robot would be better placed for the job? Despite many industries having utilised full automation of workflows for decades, the use of robots in chemistry laboratories is a relatively new domain.
