3 tenure-track positions open at UVic Science including Chemistry@UVic for Indigenous scholars. UVic has been ranked #1 in 🇨🇦 for promoting Indigenous visibility (Maclean’s 2022). #yyj is a great place to live, research and teach. Join us! uvic.ca/faculty-staff/…

Another year, another fantastic lineup of #COrgI speakers! (s/o Chemical Institute of Canada CSC Organic Division) Next week we have the venerable Dennis Hall Hall Research Group at UAlberta and PhD student Julia Turner from the Taylor group Chemistry 2011. Register at cheminst.ca/cic-virtual/se…!



Grateful for the recognition by Chemical Institute of Canada. This honor belongs to my incredible students.

Meet Dr. Nelson Lam, UVic's new Assistant Professor as of Summer 2024! His mission: Establish a leading research group developing translatable catalytic methods targeting outstanding selectivity challenges that characterize contemporary organic synthesis. @nelsonyslam.bsky.social


Welcome to Chemistry@UVic UVic Science Nelson, we are all really excited to have you here later this year!

Our work on the mechanism of action of antibacterial nanofibers is out now in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. A bittersweet moment for us in the Manners group as we dedicate this paper to the big man himself - this was one of the last papers he submitted before he passed. You'll be missed, Ian!

Super happy to announce out latest ring expansion paper - out today in J. Am. Chem. Soc. This is the culmination of 5 years hard work by lots of very talented and dedicated people in our Chemistry at York group - I am extremely grateful to them all. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congratulations @drgauthi, collaborators Merck and our team for work out in Nature Chemistry showing functional group metathesis between in situ chlorinated carboxylic acids can offer a straightforward approach to carbon isotope labelling McGill Chemistry nature.com/articles/s4155…

Honored to be among the 'items of interest' in Organic Process Research & Development for 2 months in a row! This month highlights our collaborative work with Arseniyadis on chiral Pd(0) precatalysts published in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146… Huge thanks to the team!

#CORGI announcement! On 7 Mar we've got Graham Murphy of Murphy Lab presenting all the things you can do with hypervalent iodine, followed by Mike Doyle of the Lundgren group UAlberta Chemistry on isotope exchange in amino acids. Don't miss it! Chemical Institute of Canada cheminst.ca/cic-virtual/se…


Thanks for highlighting our work in Synform (Chemistry at Thieme) Matteo (Prof Matteo Zanda EU)🙏 thieme.de/en/thieme-chem… It's been an amazing collaboration so far between Jingjun Huang & Dave Leitch and the Leitch Lab at UniversityOfVictoria, Tommy Keenan & Francois Richard at Queen Mary University of London, and Alex Jean at Servier. Stay tuned for more


We were delighted to welcome NSERC / CRSNG president Alejandro Adem yesterday to meet the #Uvic researchers and students making a difference in climate, oceans, clean energy, engineering and health. Dave Leitch and the Leitch Lab Makhsud Saidaminov IESVic UVic TIPS_SPIIE #CRC


Thank you for visiting Chemistry@UVic UVic Science ! Most of our research is NSERC / CRSNG funded, so we were very happy to give you a view of what we do!
