Graduate student Brendan Wall invited to ACS Division of Organic Chemistry Graduate Research Symposium

Brendan Wall (5th year, PhD candidate, VanVeller group) was recently invited to the prestigious ACS Division of Organic Chemistry (DOC) Graduate Research Symposium (GRS) in Charlottesville, Virginia on July 25-28th to present his research on methods for cis-amide peptide backbone modification. The ACS DOC GRS was conceived and initiated by Professors P. Andrew Evans and Gary A. Molander. The aim of the symposium is to provide rising fifth year graduate students in organic chemistry an opportunity to present their work in front of their peer group and interact with leaders from academia, industry, various funding agencies and publishers at a single venue.

Brendan was also an invited speaker this summer at the Corteva Agriscience Chemistry Scholars Symposium and the Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine Discovery Chemistry Graduate Research Symposium.
