Everything About Education & Careers in Organic Chemistry | ChemU

In this video you will encounter everything you need to know about Organic Chemistry before beginnig a career in it. We will begin our video with the definition of Organic Chemistry and look at its applications in the industry. Then we will have a small interview with Jan Prohaska, a organic chemistry student from LMU, Munich, about his experience in the studies and in the lab. After that we will talk more about careers in organic chemistry and various opportunities in this area. Following careers topic, we will discuss a career path in drug design more specifically, by making a small interview with a Professor of Organic Chemistry in the University of Torino, Doctor Pace Vittorio. Then we will discover the essentialness of prograamming in organic chemistry, and talk about it with a Chairman of the University of Bonn, exepert in the field of computational chemistry. Lastly, we will discuss the possible opportunities of organic chemists in business, legal and other areas. Pleasant viewing!
