Avondlezing door prof.dr. B. Feringa (RU Groningen) georganiseerd door de Chemische Kring Zwolle.
Samenvatting
Moleculair ontwerp en chemische synthese vormen de basis voor veel van onze dagelijkse producten variërend van materialen tot geneesmiddelen. In deze voordracht zal dit geïllustreerd worden aan de hand van recente ontwikkelingen zoals slimme geneesmiddelen, responsieve zachte materialen en moleculaire machines. U wordt meegenomen op mijn ontdekkingsreis door de nano-wereld en deel enkele markante ervaringen na ‘The Magic Call from Stockholm’
Curriculum vitae
Ben L. Feringa, born in 1951 in Bargercompascuum, obtained his PhD degree at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands under the guidance of Professor Hans Wynberg.
