Friday, May 26 will mark the first Celebration of Women in Chemistry symposium at The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute in Jupiter, Florida. Join us, as we highlight standout research from women chemists specializing in chemical biology, natural products, translational research and more. Remarkable careers are born from connection with great collaborators and mentors. Make those connections and share your own work with leaders in the field and future stars alike at this half-day symposium. Connect with potential collaborators and colleagues during poster sessions, career panels and keynote Q&A sessions, and then enjoy all that the beautiful Palm Beach County, Florida area has to offer.
Confirmed Speakers

Professor Chang's lab uses mechanistic biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, metabolic engineering, and synthetic biology to address problems in energy and human health. She designs and creates new biosynthetic pathways in microbial hosts for in vivo production of biofuels from abundant crop feedstocks and pharmaceuticals from natural products or natural product scaffolds.
Harvard University and the Broad Institute
Christina Woo, Ph.D.
The Woo lab draws from the fields of chemical biology, organic synthesis, and mass spectrometry to understand small molecule activity in the proteome.
