Organic Reactions & Processes
July 19-24, 2009
Bryant University
Smithfield, RI
Chairs:
Yannis N. Houpis & Jerry A. Murry

Vice Chair:
Richard P. Hsung

The 2009 Gordon Conference on Organic Reactions and Processes will present cutting-edge research on three key areas that are relevant to the scope of the Conference. Total Synthesis, Biocatalysis, Metal and Molecular Catalysis. Invited speakers represent the elite of these disciplines. Indeed they have been instrumental in defining them. The Conference will bring together such a collection of investigators and will provide opportunities for scientists from industry and academia to present their work in both oral and poster format and exchange ideas in the field. Some poster presenters will be selected for short talks. In addition several graduate students and post-doctoral fellows will also be invited to participate. The fun and energetic atmosphere of this Conference, has historically promoted deep and productive discussions between academic and industrial scientist and has been a great benefit to the graduate students who participate. The latter have added vigor and excitement to the Conference the last few years. Social events as the OR&P Golf Classic and the Academics vs. Industrials softball game will fill a week of excellent science and fun.
