  1. Thematic Program: Chemistry of Life 243th ACS National Meeting & Exposition March 25-29, 2012, San Diego, CA Thematic coordinator: Peter Senter VP, Chemistry Seattle Genetics, Inc. psenter@seagen.com

  2. Plenary Session: 5 speakers, 3 hours • Synthetic biology: Craig Ventner (Founder and Chairman of the Craig Ventner Institute) • Replicating vesicles: Jack Szostak (Harvard, 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine) • Polymeric matrices for tissue regeneration: Samuel Stupp (Department of Chemistry, Northwestern University) • From jellyfish to diagnostic imaging: Roger Tsien (UCSD, 2008 Nobel Prize in Chemistry) • Control of longevity: Gary Ruvkun (Biological Sciences, Harvard) • Cell-cell interactions: Laura Kiessling (Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin) • Chemistry in living systems: Carolyn Bertozzi (Department of Chemistry, UC Berkeley) • Neurotoxins from the cone snail: Baldomero Olivera (Biochemistry, University of Utah) • Cancer: the emperor of all maladies: Siddhartha Mukherjee (Department of Medicine, Columbia University)

  3. Kavli Foundation Lecture • Monday 5:00-6:00 • Not associated with the plenary session which would normally take place Sunday afternoon • Ideally, the Kavli Lecture could be the final lecture of the Plenary Session • My suggestion for the Kavli Lecture is Carolyn Bertozzi, but I would like to have her in the Plenary

  4. Items for discussion • Does the ACS agree with the plan for the plenary session? • Any additional or unacceptable speakers? • How is the Kavli Lecture interfaced with the plenary session? • What is the budget for the plenary session? • How should the invitations be issued? I think this needs to be done ASAP

  5. ACS proposed top-level areas • Biomimetics* • Synthetic Biology* • Systems Biology* • Cell Biology* • Molecular Transport through Cell Membranes • Chemical Signaling in Biological Systems* • Neurochemistry* • Metabolomics * Covered by the suggested speakers in the plenary session

  6. AGFD AGRO ANYL BIOL* BIOT* CARB* CATL CELL CHED COLL COMP CTAS CINF ENVR FULO HIST* I&EC INOR MEDI* NUCL ORGN* PETR PMSE POLY* PROF RUBB SCHB TOXI* Participating Divisions * Plenary session speakers cover topics that are directly relevant to these divisions
