Good Health and Well-Being: Advancing Good Health through Innovative Chemistry
At ACS, we are committed to improving lives through the transformative power of chemistry, and in this session, we aim to leverage this power to advance U.N. SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being. Aligned with this goal, this symposium will bring together researchers focused on reducing the environmental and health impacts of medicines and commercial chemicals, working toward a healthier, more sustainable future for all. This interactive session aims to inspire adoption of a holistic approach to research and development related to the production of chemicalsboth pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicalsthat align with the principles of “One Health.”
Experts from industry, academia, and government will explore the current and future frontiers of producing medicines with minimal environmental footprints, identifying the fundamental research areas that will drive innovations in this field. Additionally, the session will highlight how cutting-edge tools and methods used in the design, synthesis, and production of sustainable medicines can be extended to the creation of safer commercial chemicals. A key feature of this session will be a poster session and reception where early-career researchers will present their work, fostering collaboration across academia and industry. This interactive discussion aims to encourage joint efforts to advance sustainable chemical practices, furthering the impact of research on Good Health and Well-Being.
