AI, Supply Chain, Regulatory Shift in Chemistry and Medicine

It is our great pleasure to announce that the 2025 Annual Symposium of Chinese American Chemical Society – East Chapter will be held at the Busch Campus of Rutgers University on June 7, 2025. This year we will keep offering more exciting opportunities for face-to-face discussion, networking, and collaboration.

This year's theme, " Embracing a Changing Landscape: AI, Supply Chains, and Regulatory Shifts in Chemistry and Medicine ", emphasizes the crucial role that chemistry and medicine play in improving our quality of life, from the development of life-saving drugs and therapies, to the emerging topics of artificial intelligence and supply chain challenges. 

The morning session of this symposium will feature expert panels in artificial intelligence, supply chain challenges to cope with the new tariff policy, and the evolving regulatory landscape of chemistry, manufacturing and controls. The afternoon session will provide an unlimited networking event to boost your business, career, network and fun! The poster session and career workshop will also be hosted to develop our young future talents.

Great thanks to our vendors and sponsors, we will be providing free breakfast, coffee break，lunch and afternoon snack.

We are excited to offer this opportunity for attendees to engage with their peers, learn about new developments in chemistry and medicine, and connect with potential collaborators and employers.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to wish everyone a successful and enjoyable symposium. We look forward to seeing you there!
