Pharmaron Holds Ninth Annual Symposium on Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry
Beijing China Pharmaron held its 9th Symposium on Synthetic and Medicinal Chemistry on Saturday, September 21, 2019. Eight world-renowned professors and industry leaders from US, Europe and China, presented to hundreds of Pharmaron scientists and partners. Presenters discussed latest advancements in synthetic and medicinal chemistry, which included newly developed synthetic methodologies, total synthesis of highly complex natural products, design and synthesis of biologically active molecules, and the philosophy as a chemist.
“This is another successful symposium to our scientist,” said Dr. Hua Yang, Chief Scientific Offer at Pharmaron. “The speakers’ enthusiasm about their research work was clear to the audience. The step-outside-the-comfort-zone mode of thinking and the resulting creative approaches to problems will have a very positive impact on Pharmaron chemists’ mode of thinking.”
