JEAN DREYFU PUBLIC LECTURE: "Basic Chemistry and One Interface with Medicine, Pharma, and Biotech"
Scott J. Miller, Sterling Professor of Chemistry, Yale University
6:00 PM Thursday, March 12, 2026
Michael J. Auerbach Auditorium
202 Calhoun Street, College of Charleston

ABSTRACT: An overview of contributions of basic chemistry, primarily in the area of synthetic chemistry, to human medicine will be presented. A central theme will be the impact of the discovery of new reactions, catalysts and strategies on both the identification of new drugs and their production on scale. The rapid translation of new ideas about chemical and biological synthesis to real-life settings will be emphasized. Several case studies under investigation in my laboratory, involving the challenge of achieving selective chemistry in complex molecular environments, will be discussed. The lecture will conclude with reflections on the nature of some present-day challenges of this type, and their possible impact on the discovery of complex, potentially selective, bioactive medicines.
