The ACS Board of Directors meeting was taking place there (also for the first time), so it was a good opportunity to go and visit the facilities at the University of Puerto Rico.

MSRC opened in 2011 and hosts approximately 300 researchers, students, postdocs, staff, and technicians. Half of these 300 individuals are chemists working in a variety of fields including molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, bioimaging, pharmacogenetics, and neuroscience.

Its open and shared spaces were created to encourage interaction and collaborative work and thereby boost innovation. MSRC is also home to a technology transfer and innovation
