Symposium

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 2023 ANACHEM Symposium will be held on Thursday, November 9, 2023 at Burton Manor (www.burtonmanor.net) in Livonia, MI. The site is easily accessible from interstate highway, I-96.  A plenary lecture will be given by the 2022 recipient of the ANACHEM Award, Dr. Joseph A. Loo, the Professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry, David Geffen School of Medicine, and in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). An award session with invited speakers will be presented in his honor. This year’s symposium will also include four oral sessions devoted to research at the academic institutions in our region. Additionally, our academia colleagues will be holding an interactive oral session exploring strategies for effective analytical chemistry education and student mentorship. The sessions are described in more detail below. An instrument exhibit, two educational workshops, and a poster session are also important parts of this annual symposium on chemical analysis. A preliminary outline of the Symposium and more details are included below. Register online in advance for a discounted rate. For more information, contact program@ANACHEM.org.
