Summer Successes, Heading into Fall 2024

Both Jarrett and newcomer to the lab Kieran scored a Student Research Assistantship for the Summer/Spring which resulted in a lot of productive chemistry that has lead into the Fall semester of 2024.

Jarrett continued working with cannabinoids, isolating several as starting materials for future ligands. This is quite the task and Jarrett has shown a lot of commitment to the project. He also contributed to a publication that will be submitted early in 2025.

Kieran has continued with the synthesis of novel ligand systems, securing his own silver complex in the process. Confirmation of this complex was from x-ray diffraction data from Prof. René T. Boeré at the University of Lethbridge. This work will be part of a publication to be submitted early in 2025. 

A lot of exciting work getting to the publication stage, and more students join the group (Adam and Declyn) in the Fall bodes well for a successful 2024/25 academic year.
