As a student, I was inspired to pursue a career in pharma by reading about the amazing synthetic chemistry innovations that were happening there.

I hope this article can do the same for the next generation of pharmaceutical chemists. #MerckChemistry

The next installment in the history of #MerckChemistry #CompChemSky is the amazing work done by Kate Holloway on collaborative design of the HIV drug Crixivan. Not only did she use molecular modeling to contribute to the patent but she was then featured as a clue w/ Chen Zhao on Jeopardy!! #ChemSky

With the resurrection of our SM family on #Chemsky, it seems the perfect time to thank a group of amazing folks in the Chemistry community with a first set of posts on this platform. It's been a busy 4Q for the #MerckChemistry Symposium series. First up, we had the chance to drop by Berkeley.

For the latest iteration of #MerckChemistry #CompChemSky history, I display possibly the last remaining scrap of paper evidence of the original name of the computational chemistry team: Molecular Systems or “MolSys”. Calculations were always on the fly… but on the level! #ChemSky
