Engineered Polymeric Materials

The New York Section of the American Chemical Society is proud to host the 40th Middle Atlantic Regional Meeting on the campus of Queensborough Community College of the City University of New York. The theme of MARM 2008 is Chemistry and Health , owing to the importance and impact of the health sciences in the New York metropolitan area. Symposia and plenary talks are planned in this field and others, including bio-inspired polymers, bio-mimetic catalysis, chemical education, chemistry and the arts, clinical chemistry, forensic chemistry, ionic liquids, medicinal chemistry, and nanoscience and nanotechnology. MARM 2008 will open with a Keynote Address by Dr. Ronald Breslow of Columbia University. Career enrichment and educational activities will also be an important part of the 40th MARM, as well as an exhibition program, workshops, and awards. In addition, on May 17, 2008, the 56th NY-ACS Undergraduate Research Symposium will be held on the Queensborough campus. Students who present at this meeting will be given free registration to MARM 2008.
