Join Dr. Mergelsberg as she discusses Merck's vision of building in "Green Chemistry from the beginning of process development."
* Success stories from projects in different stages of development will be described, including "tools" and guidelines to achieve greener process design within Merck.
* The successful and sustained implementation of green chemistry solutions requires a change in behaviour and attitude across all functions.
* Several successful examples will be discussed including remaining opportunities to further increase the "greenness" of future projects.
Dr. Ingrid Mergelsberg received her PhD in organic chemistry from the University in Freiburg, Germany. She completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Rochester NY and at Hoffmann LaRoche in Basel, Switzerland. She worked for Parke Davis in Freiburg and then joined a Schering-Plough subsidiary in Lucerne, Switzerland. Her roles include chemical process development for early and late stage projects with a strong passion and dedication for green chemistry. Five years ago she relocated to NJ and now works for Merck as project lead for early process development for 3 European sites. She co-chairs the ACS Green Chemistry Institute (GCI) Pharmaceutical Roundtable since April 2009.
Co-Sponsored by: Laboratory Research and Technical Staff (LabRATS)' Green Chemistry Initiative, and The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF).
