Photocatalysis in Drug Discovery: Lessons, Challenges, and Opportunities from Batch to Flow

Photochemistry is experiencing a remarkable resurgence in organic synthesis, unlocking new reactivity, and paving the way to more sustainable pathways. In this webinar, we will dive into real-world insights with “lessons from the battlefield,” sharing experiences applying established photocatalytic transformations to complex medicinal chemistry targets. We will also cover the essential principles of photocatalysis, emphasizing both fundamental concepts and practical tips. These case studies will reveal where photocatalysis truly excels—and where its limitations emerge when theory meets practice.

Finally, we will look ahead to the future. We will explore how photocatalysis and flow chemistry work hand in hand to boost efficiency and scalability, while we also address remaining challenges. We will close with a forward-looking discussion of the major obstacles and unmet needs shaping the next generation of photocatalytic methods.

This webinar is presented by Dr Matthieu Jeanty and Dr Sylvain Guizzetti and is kindly sponsored by Novalix.
