Advancements in Process chemistry – Screening, automation and innovation

  • Workshop
  • 18 September 2025, Boston, United States

About

Join us for an advanced workshop focused on the latest advances in process chemistry screening and optimization.

This event from Technobis offers a deep dive with industrial case studies, into strategies, tools, and technologies that are transforming synthetic route development, making processes more efficient, robust and scalable.

Chemists can expect in-depth presentations on reaction screening optimization techniques, automation technologies and data-driven decision-making process chemistry design. Whether you're working on early-stage discovery or late-phase process optimization, the program is designed to address real-world challenges and showcase practical solutions including how the automated ReactALL platform can be used in workflows to improve efficiency.

Join chemists from around the globe to exchange ideas, gain fresh perspectives, and take part in lively Q&A sessions and informal conversations during coffee breaks.

You'll leave this workshop feeling inspired by new technologies, re-energized by peer exchange, and equipped with actionable strategies to boost efficiency, drive innovation, automate workflow, and optimize your development processes.

Speakers

Truong Nguyen

Principal Scientist at Pfizer

I’m currently a Principal Scientist at Pfizer. I received my Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Houston and completed my postdoctoral training at Indiana University. My current work specializes in late-stage process development and chemical engineering.

Pierre-Louis Lagueux-Tremblay

Senior Scientist, Data Rich Experimentation at Sanofi

Pierre-Louis was born and raised in Quebec, Canada. He received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Université Laval while being an intern in Prof. Thierry Ollevier research group, focusing on the development of green synthetic methodologies.  Pierre-Louis then moved to Montreal and earned his Ph.D. under the guidance of Prof. Bruce A. Arndtsen at McGill University as a NSERC & FRQNT doctoral fellow, focusing on the development of new approaches to acylation reactions via metal-catalyzed carbonylation and electrochemistry.  He then joined the research group of Prof. Song Lin at Cornell University as a postdoctoral associate, and worked on developing scalable, stereoselective electrochemical borylation of oxygenated allylic electrophiles, and utilized these methodologies in diverse synthetic sequences to expand the chemistry toolbox. More recently, Pierre-Louis joined Sanofi as a senior scientist in process chemistry and is part of the Data Rich Experimentation team.

Madeleine Deem

Senior Scientist, Data Rich Experimentation at Merck

Maddie earned her PhD in Chemistry from the University of British Columbia, conducting her research in Professor Jason Hein’s laboratory. During her doctoral studies, she utilized the lab’s custom automation platforms to generate data-rich reaction profiles and develop mechanistic understanding for complex transition metal-catalyzed processes. In 2023, Maddie joined the Data Rich Experimentation group at Merck, where she focuses on developing and deploying enabling technologies to support process development and characterization.
