✨Welcome to the 'Sea to Sky Summit' on Organic & Bioorganic Chemistry!✨
We’re excited to launch the official Twitter(X)-page for a student-led chemistry conference bringing together leading researchers, BC-based faculty, and industrial scientists for an immersive weekend at the frontiers of synthetic organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Sea-to-Sky corridor, the Summit will take place at Capilano University in Squamish, BC — a retreat-style setting surrounded by mountains, forests, and world-class trails. It’s the perfect environment for focused science, meaningful conversations, and building lasting connections across academia and industry.
Our scientific program will highlight advances in:
🔬 Small-molecule & natural product synthesis
⚗️ Catalyst and reaction design
🧠 Mechanistic discovery
🧬 Chemical biology & translational research
Follow along for speaker announcements, program highlights, and behind-the-scenes updates as we build a stronger network of organic chemists across British Columbia. We can’t wait to share what’s ahead!
📍 Squamish, BC
🧑🔬 Student-led | Community-focused | Collaboration-driven

Registration is OPEN for the inaugural Sea to Sky Summit on Organic and Bioorganic Chemistry (S3OBC)!!!
We’re bringing together an outstanding group of researchers from academia and industry for four days of chemistry, discussion, and community building in the Sea-to-Sky corridor.
Stay tuned for more engaging posts in the following days and weeks about invited speakers, conference features, and more!

We had a great time at Jackalope's Neighborhood Dive 🤘🏼🎸(Dr. Memo's favourite spot) celebrating our recent @J_A_C_S paper on the use of RAvIN Ketone building blocks for non-carbohydrate oligonucleotide synthesis!
Make sure to check it out ! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021…

Check out what our lab and the @reiser_group stitched together contemporaneously. Both labs report a new olefination method via denitrative cross-coupling of readily accessible nitroalkanes on @ChemRxiv Parasram (image): chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.264…. Reiser: chemrxiv.org/doi/full/10.264…
We are thrilled to introduce "The RAvIN Platform" published in @J_A_C_S !!!🚨
This work features the efficient preparation of nucleosides in high enantiopurity (99.9% ee) and the first non-carbohydrate total synthesis of an oligonucleotide therapeutic.

Last week's Paper-of-the-Week (POW) presentations in our weekly group meeting featured some great work by Morken Group, @BrittonLab + Pantophlet + @DrLCsquare, @CarreiraGroup, and Reisman Group + Peters Group! #chemistry #boron
New paper alert!!! 🚨🚨🚨
We report "A unified platform for nucleoside analog synthesis" in @ScienceMagazine
Congratulations to Matthew, Ethan, the rest of the team and our @Merck collaborators @DrLCsquare and @asymtmm for this monumental publication!

The group had a fun outing at CRAFT Brewery last week for our annual Britton Lab Christmas Party! The night was complete with tasty food, good brews, and our traditional "Pirate Santa" gift exchange. You can see from the video which of the gifts was a favourite 😆
