Dear Colleagues and Friends, Welcome to Chemistry 2027 !
Without a doubt, recent advances in chemistry have revolutionized numerous fields, including my field of medicine. But, how did this occur ? Was your research part of these advancements ? Have we innovated and commercialized such research enough ? Are companies paying attention to this wonderful research ? Are Universities helping you ? And, most importantly, are you in the right environment to innovate and commercialize your research ? In my own experience, above all else, it takes a supportive environment ! Find the right community. Find this conference. I left the very negative, ultra-competitive, stifling Northeastern University in Boston (USA) over 6 years ago. I have never seen such negative, cut-throat, and miserable people in my over 30 year academic career ! Jealously and greed were everywhere, not unlike other US Universities but magnified to a crippling extent and certainly not how things were when I first started as a professor in the US in 2000. Only after I moved did I find a truly supportive environment that allowed me to form over a dozen companies and yes, I found truly supportive people who value me and my contributions. Because I left Northeastern University, I have since commercialized my chemistry research into medical devices now in over 45,000 patients with no failures, only success !
So, I encourage everyone to find that right environment. Make that move. And attend the right conferences: Chemistry 2027 is such a conference where you will meet the right people ! And be inspired, not discouraged like I was at Northeastern University for far too long ! I, and the tens-of-thousands of patients I have helped, wish we could get those years back ! It will change your life once you make the commitment to surround yourself with positive people. I know, because I lived it. I look forward to seeing everyone to further share my story and give you that “positive” boost you deserve !
