Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn as the esteemed guest

Jean-Marie Lehn The organizers are extremely happy to announce plenary lecture by the Nobel Laureate, Professor Jean-Marie Lehn.

Our esteemed guest will deliver his lecture on Thursday, 21 June, during the afternoon session.

Jean-Marie Lehn is a French chemist. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with Donald Cram and Charles Pedersen in 1987 for his synthesis of cryptands. Lehn was an early innovator in the field of supramolecular chemistry, i.e., the chemistry of host-guest molecular assemblies created by intermolecular interactions, and continues to innovate in this field. His group has published in excess of 900 peer-reviewed articles in chemistry literature.
