Marder Group

Chemists from all of the world will be guests

27.09.2017

International networking and cooperation: This is a matter close to Professor Todd Marder's heart since the year dot.

“Advances in Organic and Inorganic Chemistry– Enhancing International Cooperation”: This is the title of an international symposium on Monday, 16th November 2015, at the University of Wuerzburg. The Institute of Inorganic Chemistry is organizing this for the occasion of the 60th birthday and the 30th anniversary of the academic career of Professor Todd Marder, holder of the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry.  

All speakers and poster presenters who have been invited are current or former students, doctoral researchers and research collaborators of Todd Marder from science and industry. They are from 14 countries on five continents. This shows that the chemistry professor always paid attention to creating international research teams and worldwide networking.

Experts talking about different topics

The symposium will therefore showcase the inter-disciplinarity and internationality of Marder's research. Representative of this are the following four speakers:

  • Dr. Edward G. Robins from Singapur will present new possibilities of producing radioactive marked substances for the medical imaging with Positron Emission Tomography by way of metal-organic chemistry.
  • Professor Seth R. Marder from Atlanta (USA), expert in organic materials, will give a lecture on progresses and challenges in the functionalization of carbon-hydrogen-compounds for applications in materials science.
  • Professor Paul J. Low is from Perth (Australia). In his talk he will concern himself with new aspects on chemistry and spectroscopy of chemical complex molecules with mixed valences.
  • How can adaptive nanostructures for multitasking in nanomedicine be designed? Professor Ashok K. Kakkar from Montréal (Canada) will speak about this topic.

All talks of the symposium are open to the public. They will take place on Monday 16th November 2015, from 08:30 until 20:00 in lecture hall A in the central building of Chemistry at Hubland.
