Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry cordially invites you to join us for the second annual Chemical and Biochemical Connections Event, ChemiConn 2018, to be held in the Dante Costa Hall at the Fogolar Furlan Windsor. This event offers you the opportunity to connect with several chemical and biochemical companies from across North America, as well as to learn about their expertise and challenges in industry.

Lab groups interested in attending are requested to present a 3 – 5 minute talk showcasing specific techniques used in their respective research projects. Presentations should highlight the relevance of these techniques to industry, with hopes of stimulating collaboration.

Program Highlights:
1) Companies in chemical and biochemical industry will discuss R&D as well as challenges industry present.
2) Funding agencies will present various funding streams available for collaborative projects between industry and academia.
3) A networking session and mixer to form connections between researchers and potential future employers.

Registration at:
or contact chemiconn@uwindsor.ca

Deadline: April 13th, 2018

Title: “Strategies and methods for the synthesis of neuroactive disulfide-linked peptides”
Web: http://stockdillgroup.info/app/about-jenn/

Friday, Mar. 9, 2018 @ 3:00 p.m.
Room #186 Essex Hall

**Everyone Welcome**




Abstract: 
Research in the Stockdill group is focused on the design of elegant and efficient strategies for the synthesis of neuroactive molecules ranging from complex alkaloids to disulfide-linked mini-proteins and for the detection of neurotransmitters. In the course of these efforts, we explore chemical reactivity and develop new reaction methods. This seminar will highlight our recent progress toward the synthesis of multi-disulfide containing conotoxins as well as the development new synthetic methods for peptide synthesis that have resulted from these synthetic studies.
