The Doctoral Talks on Campus: “Architecture of New Molecules: A PhD Adventure” will take place on 29 October in the USJ Senate Room.
ABOUT DOCTORAL TALKS ON CAMPUS:
Fostering transdisciplinary perspectives in thought, research and development in the doctoral and post-doctoral programmes of the University of Saint Joseph in Macao.
ABOUT THE TALK:
This seminar is about a dynamic vision of chemical and biochemical phenomena from the world of contemporary chemistry and biochemistry, the main features of which are structure, function, and reactivity. It deals with concepts concerning the various ways it is possible to visualize the molecular structure of the substances that make up our universe. It looks at molecular synthesis as if it were dealing with molecular architecture. That is how things are, given that the whole world is composed of small molecular fragments which connect to each other in more or less complex ways until they achieve the target molecule. The elements behind all this molecular scenery provide us with a better understanding of the historical and philosophical vision of scientific areas such as chemistry, biochemistry and medicine.
Keywords: chemical, biochemical, phenomena,molecular, structure.
