May 29-30, 2012 Molecular Frontiers Symposium, Stockholm
The Molecular Frontiers Symposium at The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, May 29-30, 2012, will be titled "How chemical cycles shape our planet: the global challenge"
Topics that were covered include:
- Climate questions
- Fuel, environment and chemistry
- Global questions: sustainability - trends and necessary action
The Symposium was moderated by Richard Zare, Stanford, President of Molecular Frontiers.
April 21-22, Molecular Frontiers Symposium, Singapore
The symposium will highlight emerging molecular technologies of importance to molecular medicine and biology, including hyperpolarizable NMR, super-resolution imaging, fluorescent probes for RNA, optical methods to activate selected proteins in cells, miniaturized lab on chip, and bioluminescence as a tool for studying transport in animals, and minimal synthetic genome systems.
