On to day two of the symposium series, this time at University of Tokyo’s fantastic new auditorium.
The international speakers were joined by a great line-up of researchers from the Tokyo area. First up was Professor Keisuke Suzuki from University of Tokyo, giving a great tour of his research on synthesis of hybrid natural products.
