The Chemistry Department at Boston College presents dozens of speakers each year from leading universities, industrial corporations, and the private sector. All seminars are open to the public and are free of cost. We would like to express our appreciation to the following companies for their generous support of our seminar series: Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Eli Lilly and Company, Novartis Corporation, Schering-Plough, Sigma- Aldrich, and Abbott Laboratories.
The Merkert Chemistry Center is pleased to present some of our distinguished lecturers on Front Row. Front Row is a service of Boston College’s Office of Marketing Communications.
