The Medicinal Chemistry Lab in Rome
We had a wonderful time in Rome, during the XXVIII EFMC International Symposium on Medicinal Chemistry! Interesting lectures, discussions with old and new acquaintances and a marvelous conference dinner on the Monte Mario with a spectacular view of the Eternal city of Rome.
Celebrations @ the lab
Two new PhD students will join our lab, and we obtained a C1 grant. Plenty of reasons to celebrate!
We would like to thank China Scholarship Council (CSC) and KU Leuven for the generous support of our research!
