“I became a member because I knew being part of a professional organisation would help with career progression and there is a certain respect that comes along with it. But I gradually came to learn that there were many more benefits. I started participating in conferences, taking advantage of the funding available for travel and accommodation – I got to go to Poland for an event – and I became more aware of what the RSC was about.” What will membership help you achieve?

Welcome Message
Dear Colleagues On behalf of the Scientific Committee, we are delighted to welcome you to Keble College, Oxford, for the 27th International Symposium: Synthesis in Organic Chemistry. It is fantastic to have participation from a wide range of delegates from across the organic chemistry community, including industry and academia, and from around the world. Indeed, at the time of writing, we have delegates and speakers from over 30 different countries, an indication of the international prestige of this symposium. As you may know, the first meeting was held in Oxford in 1969, and since then our meetings have been held biennially, alternating between Oxford and Cambridge with the exception of a hiatus in 2021 due to the pandemic. Synthetic organic chemistry has evolved since our first meeting, however the purpose of the symposium remains as true today as it was in 1969; providing an international showcase for the core area of organic chemistry - synthesis - covering all aspects of contemporary organic synthesis and providing a forum for the ever more exciting methodologies and strategies that continue to emerge. We hope you are as eager as we are to see the talks from our incredible line up of speakers covering some of the latest developments in our field, of what we hope you will agree celebrates organic synthesis at its very best. We are also delighted to welcome a fantastic range of poster presenters who we know you will not want to miss. Indeed, we encourage everyone to engage fully with the chemistry presented, to participate in fruitful discussions with colleagues, and to enjoy both the scientific and informal aspects of the programme. If you have any questions during your time here, please contact a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Events Team who will be pleased to assist you. Once again, thank you for joining us for what we hope will be a most interesting and interactive conference.

In 1998 he returned to the U.K. to take up a lectureship at the University of Durham. In the autumn of 2001 he moved to the Dyson Perrins Laboratory, University of Oxford and received a fellowship at Pembroke College, Oxford. He was promoted to Full Professor in 2005. In late 2019 he became the Science Director for Next Generation Chemistry at the Rosalind Franklin Institute. His group’s research centres on the chemical understanding and exploitation of biomolecular function (Synthetic Biology, Chemical Biology and Chemical Medicine), with an emphasis on carbohydrates and proteins. In particular, the group’s interests encompass synthesis and methodology; target biomolecule synthesis; inhibitor/probe/ substrate design; biocatalysis; enzyme & biomolecule mechanism; biosynthetic pathway determination; protein engineering; drug delivery; molecular biology; structural biology; cell biology; glycobiology; molecular imaging and in vivo biology.
