Last week, C2MCI celebrated our HQPs’ contributions to the Queen’s Chemistry Innovation Council meeting and QGCS Symposium.

As part of the QCIC, C2MCI Scientific Director Dr. @cathleencrudden.bsky.social presented on C2MCI and our research.

Thank you to all who attended to learn about our work!

“This has to start with a conversation. If we stigmatize having open conversations or villainize others who want to learn, we silo people and hinder the path to making tangible effort.”

That’s a wrap on C2MCI at Queen’s Homecoming 2025!

We teamed up with @mcdonaldinstitute.bsky.social and the Sinclair Cancer Research Institute to bring Science Rendezvous to campus. 🇷🇴🧪

Thanks again to the Kingston community and #QueensU alumni who came to say hi! @queensuresearch.bsky.social

Benzimidazolium hydrogen carbonate salts—Investigation of thermal properties in the context of small molecule inhibitors The thermal properties of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are of interest as these species are attracting attention for use as small molecule inhibitors (SMIs) i

Thermal analysis of 19 NHCs shows how steric bulk affects volatility & activation temps—key for area-selective #ALDep. Authors from @carleton.ca & @c2mci.bsky.social show that NHCs have strong potential as stable, tunable vapor-phase small molecule inhibitors. doi.org/10.1116/6.00...

This weekend, Queen's University will welcome back thousands of alumni for its annual Homecoming celebrations.

C2MCI will be joining in on the welcome at the Science Rendezvous Kingston booth—we hope to see you there this Saturday at the Fall Harvest Alumni Gathering!
