DESCRIPTION:The world of synthetic organic chemistry has made significant 
 strides in discovering new medicines\, materials\, and fine chemicals. How
 ever\, there is a major aspect that has been overlooked for years - the re
 actor itself. In this talk\, we will explore the potential of flow chemist
 ry to advance synthetic organic chemistry through technological innovation
 .\nBy harnessing the power of flow chemistry\, chemists can unlock unique 
 reactivity and selectivity\, enabling them to push the boundaries of what 
 is possible.[1] Not only does flow chemistry make new synthetic routes ach
 ievable\, it can fast-track them from the lab to large scale production.[2
 ]\nAt our research group\, we are committed to advancing the field by deve
 loping automated and flow-based reaction technologies that reduce manual l
 abor\, increase reproducibility\, and accelerate reaction discovery. Our f
 ocus on flow chemistry has led to exciting developments in methodological 
 advancements\, including photocatalysis\, fluorine chemistry\, and bioconj
 ugation chemistry.\nIn this talk\, we aim to showcase the potential of flo
 w chemistry and how it can team up with methodological development to take
  synthetic organic chemistry to the next level. We will highlight the perk
 s of flow chemistry\, from improving reaction efficiency to enabling the d
 iscovery of new chemical reactions. Our ultimate goal is to inspire chemis
 ts to adopt this innovative technology and unlock new possibilities for sy
 nthetic organic chemistry.\n\n[1] Capaldo\, L.\; Wen\, Z. and Noël\, T. A
