Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SE4:E6 - Mechanism-Driven Innovation in Process Research: Yining Ji Chen’s Road as a Rising Star
Q: What motivated you to take on this rotation and maybe help our listeners understand what is LED NMR?
Yining shared that she sought a rotation in the NMR group to address a gap in photochemical reaction study tools and that LED NMR integrates LED technology in NMR tubes for real-time monitoring.
SE4:E6 - Mechanism-Driven Innovation in Process Research: Yining Ji Chen’s Road as a Rising Star
Q: Yining, can you give our listeners a sense of what this transformation was and what challenges you were faced with when you studied this reaction?
Yining explained that her first project involved developing a palladium-catalyzed C-N coupling for an HIV drug, facing issues like robustness and catalyst loading.
SE4:E5 - Evolution of a Green Chemistry Trailblazer
Q: What makes an IRED different from a transaminase and what are the motivations to pursue this platform?
IREDs allow for the incorporation of functional amines directly, simplifying routes and allowing for more complex molecular synthesis.
SE4:E5 - Evolution of a Green Chemistry Trailblazer
Q: Can you elaborate on the rumor that this chemistry may be the first time that a world-renowned shipment courier service has played a role in a chemical transformation?
Yes, it involved sending materials via FedEx to ensure the chemistry worked within a tight deadline.
SE4:E5 - Evolution of a Green Chemistry Trailblazer
Q: Can you give our listeners maybe a little glimpse of what that was like in Frances' lab?
Being in Frances Arnold's lab was a time of amazing invention but also a lot of stress as a graduate student.
