| or t h e fourth annual A C S ProSpectives conference o n Process Chemistry, chairs Margaret Faul, Associate Director of Chemical Process R & D at A M G E N , a n d Joseph Armstrong, Director of Process Research at Merck, have created a conference that integrates three key areas of process chemistry: practical aspects of d r u g development; leading technologies from academia; and strategies for advancing new chemical entities t h r o u g h t h e regulatory process. D u r i n g the conference, top academics will discuss new technology and methods for asymmetric synthesis, organometallic catalysis, and automation, and leading pharmaceutical industry chemists will highlight case studies that detail how using these methods contributed to getting their novel compounds to market successfully. A senior F D A official will b e o n h a n d to discuss t h e regulatory aspects of d r u g discovery d u r i n g t h e popular regulatory roundtable, as will t h e a u t h o r of a leading article o n A P I starting materials strategy.
