IUBMB Calendar

This talk is an activity from the FEBS Junior Sections, an initiative set up by students and young researchers from some of the FEBS Constituent Societies. Each month a junior section from one of the participant Societies organizes an online event on either a research or a career topic. This August talk is a careers event organised by Junior-GBM, the junior section of the GBM.

These are the details of the May talk:

Speaker:   Dr. Anna McConnell, Otto-Diels-Institute, University of Kiel, Germany
Topic:       “My Supramolecular Chemistry Journey”
Time:         11 August, 19:00 (CET)
Registration:

In nature, non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding are important in a number of processes from the self-assembly of DNA to the recognition of substrates within enzymes. Supramolecular chemistry focuses on exploiting non-covalent interactions between molecules to self-assemble structures that would not be possible using traditional covalent chemistry. In this talk I will discuss my career path in supramolecular chemistry and how I combine research with supporting equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in supramolecular chemistry as a member of the Women in Supramolecular Chemistry (WISC) network.
