Scientists at McGill University, Ohio State, and Universitat de Girona have successfully produced a melanin model compound. This breakthrough, published in Nature Chemistry, sheds light on the unusual properties that enable melanin to protect organisms from UV radiation. mcgill.ca/chemistry/chan…

A new discovery about the structure of melanin has brought McGill Chemistry scientists, including JP Lumb, one step closer to developing a new, potentially ultra-protective sunscreen derived from a biological substance found in nearly all organisms.🌞

The concepts that let you do Nobel prize winning work are readily accessible by average undergraduate organic students. The vision, well, that is the challenge, but no field let’s you invent your own vision like organic chemistry.

The Lumb Group McGill Chemistry is working with Fuzionaire to expand the use of silicon in small-molecules. We're looking for #postdocs with experience in synthetic organic chemistry to join us: see job posting for details. Please spread the word.

The Lumb Group Tomislav Friscic has openings for #chempostdoc in inorganic chemistry McGill Chemistry for a project on the mechanochemical separation of precious metals. See that attached project description for more details. Position is available immediately. Please RT.
