Using calorimetry during battery operation to solve development challenges

In 2018, the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry is pleased to offer a new free webinar series focused on contemporary topics from recognized leaders in the field. The third webinar of 2018 will feature two 20-minute presentations regarding innovations in the photochemistry of polymers with Brett Fors of Cornell University discussing polymer synthesis and Julia Kalow of Northwestern University discussing polymer properties.

Despite the promise of target-based drug discovery ushered in by the genomics era, no mechanistically novel rationally designed antibiotic has reached clinically utility to address the threat of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens. Phenotypic screening remains the primary source for new antibacterial compounds, which mainly come from mining various chemical libraries. In this webinar, Carl Balibar (Merck Research Laboratories) will discuss screen design, target bias, and hit-prioritization strategies to identify those entities with the greatest opportunity to be developed into the next new antibiotic.

The California Hazardous Materials Business Plan regulations and compliance obligations can be complex and vary among regulating agencies. Utilizing Verisk 3E’s Regulatory Reporting Services team of actively involved, engaged and experienced regulatory professionals can be a highly efficient and effective way to alleviate the challenges associated with ensuring compliance with these complex and varying regulations.

Determining the absolute configuration of small molecules is important early in the drug discovery process. The traditional methodology, X-ray analysis, requires a single crystal. Unfortunately, crystallisation of early-stage molecules can be problematic and time consuming.
