17.15 - 17.30 Closing remarks by Markus Kalesse

The work carried out in the context of biomedical research at Leibniz Universität Hannover will be presented by PhD students from the following research groups:

•     Brönstrup, Chemical Biology
•     Cox, Synthetic Biology
•     Heretsch, Natural Product Synthesis
•     Kalesse, Natural Products Chemistry
•     Kirschning, Synthetic Chemistry
•     Plettenburg, Medicinal Chemistry
•     Weinhart, Polymers and Biomaterials

The symposium is free of charge. Therefore, the next generation of young researchers in particular is invited to get them interested in the latest trends. The symposium complements the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in Life Science and Chemistry at Leibniz University Hannover, which are coordinated by the Faculty of Natural Sciences.
