Led by Director CHANG Sukbok, scientists from the Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalizations within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have made a significant advancement in the synthesis of β-lactam scaffolds, which are structural components frequently found in essential antibiotics such as penicillins and carbapenems. This breakthrough overcomes challenges in β-lactam synthesis to promise streamlined pathways for drug development. The core chemical structure that makes up penicillins is a four-membered cyclic amide scaffold called chiral β-lactam,which is also frequently found in other types of major antibiotics like carbapenems and cephalosporins.

Her critics who demand transparency in her use of confidential funds immediately fired back, saying she was employing a 'classic gaslighting tactic' instead of giving an accounting of how she used those funds .

Every time we step out of our homes, we are aware of the risks involved in encountering accidents. News stories are filled with incidents involving buses, delivery vans, cars and motorcycles causing damage to property and people. When a vehicle is involved in an accident causing damage and injury, it is commonly assumed that the registered owner will be held liable. However, that is not always the case. The courts have applied two different rules in such situations: the Vicarious Liability Rule or the Registered Owner Rule.
