Amity Institute of Click Chemistry Research and Studies (AICCRS), Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida Campus organized an International Symposium on “Trends in Green and Sustainable Chemistry”, which aimed to advance the discourse on Green and Sustainable Chemistry and facilitate collaboration among professionals, researchers, and academics in Green and Sustainable Chemistry.
Delivering a Talk on “Peristaltic Ion-Conduction Mechanism in Sodium Polymer Electrolytes based on Perfluoropolyethers, DMSO, and NaTFSI”, Prof. Michele Vittadello, Department of Chemistry and Environmental Science Medgar Evers College, The City University of New York (CUNY), stated, “Amity University is doing a phenomenal work in the area of Click Chemistry. This Symposium will be highly beneficial for the young budding researchers since it will serve as a platform for the cross-pollination of ideas, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from diverse perspectives and contribute to the evolution of sustainable practices. “
Delivering a Talk on “A Unified Route to Carbazolones and Indolones, and a Reactivity Divergence in the Synthesis of 7-Membered Analogues”, Prof. Mahesh Lakshman, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, The City College and The City University of New York (CUNY), said, “Green Chemistry helps in reduction and elimination of the use as well as generation of hazardous substances, which adversely impact the environment, thereby ensuring a sustainable environment. Research in this area will lead to a cleaner and greener environment, which is extremely crucial for all living beings.”
Addressing the gathering, Dr. W. Selvamurthy, President - Amity Science, Technology & Innovation Foundation (ASTIF), stated, “Students are the future of the country and the responsibility of making the world a better place, rests on their shoulders. Therefore, by carrying out research in different areas, students must create new technologies and innovations which can be used for the development of the nation. A sustainable environment is the need of the hour and new technologies have emerged to foster sustainability and minimize the production of harmful chemical substances.”
Welcoming the guests on this occasion, Dr. Monalisa Mukherjee, Director, AICCRS, said, “Amity Institute of Click Chemistry is constantly working towards carrying out great research work in the area of Click Chemistry, an important branch of Chemistry which enables the production of new molecules and substances. Vibrant exchange of ideas during interactive sessions and panel discussions led by the experts will stimulate innovative thinking and development of new approaches to combat the challenges in Green and Sustainable Chemistry.”
During the one-day Symposium, Technical Sessions on topics such as “Extraction and Evaluation of the Bioactivity of Low Molecular Weight Peptides From Curry Leaves (Murraya koenigii L.)” by Dr. Harsha Rajapakse, Department of Chemistry and Environmental Science Medgar Evers College, The City University of New York (CUNY), “Ayurvedic Chemistry for Sustainable Planet and its People” by Prof. Bal Ram Singh Director, Institute of Advanced Sciences Dartmouth, Massachusetts, USA, and “Design and Development of Non-ionic Amphiphilic Nano-transporters for Biomedical Applications”, by Prof. Barbara Zajc, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry The City College and The City University of New York (CUNY), were also conducted.
