Cross-coupling, catalysis and one chemist’s move to tech
Chemistry is a family affair with Dr. Alan Dyke, but instead of choosing an academic route like his dad and brother, he ventured into the technology industry. His story is a must listen for any chemist considering a commercial role. Currently VP of Business Development for ProChem Inc., Alan realized that instead of abandoning his scientific expertise, he could combine it with his commercial skills to take technology in new directions. A longtime friend and former colleague of Paolo’s, Alan gets the conversation rolling by talking about the advancements in fields such as homogeneous cross-coupling, biocatalysis, metathesis, and metallocene chemistry.
