Why not take a look at the articles today and blog your thoughts and comments below.
Fancy submitting an article to ChemSocRev? Then why not contact us today with your suggestions.
Please don’t miss this last opportunity to submit an oral abstract now to be part of a high profile conference featuring contributions from the most active groups in the UK, Europe, the USA and Japan working in this rapidly developing area.
This meeting builds on the two previous extremely successful conferences in a subject area which remains highly topical. As significant opportunities exist for engineering biosynthetic pathways in bacteria, fungi and plants for the directed biosynthesis of new natural products with new and beneficial properties. We expect the programme this year to generate a high profile event that you will not want to miss.

On behalf of the Chem Soc Rev Editorial Board, I am delighted to announce that Professor Xiaogang Liu (National University of Singapore and Institute of Materials Research Engineering, A*STAR) has won the Chem Soc Rev Emerging Investigator Lectureship 2012.
This annual award recognises an emerging scientist who has made a significant contribution to their research field. The Editorial Board praised Professor Liu’s research in the field of nanoscience, particularly his development of luminescent upconversion nanoparticles and contributions to nanoparticle-based ultrasensitive detection of metal ions and biological molecules.
Professor Liu will present his award lecture at ISACS9: Challenges in Nanoscience taking place in Xiamen, China, on 31 August – 3 September.
