On the one hand
An international meeting on the science and technology of chiral chromatography held at Nagoya University in July 2010 pays tribute to the technique’s Nagoya origins
The profound effect of the development of chiral chromatography and its increasing importance in both academic and industrial contexts was one of the main themes of the Nagoya Symposium on Chiral Separation. The meeting drew around 100 participants who heard a series of five lectures by leading international figures in separation science.
About Nagoya University Research
Nagoya University Research presents feature articles and research highlights covering the research activities and achievements of six Nagoya University Global Center of Excellence (GCOE) programs, the FIRST program (funding program for world-leading innovative R&D in science and technology) and the university's influential Institute for Advanced Research — a university academy of Nagoya University Nobel laureates and highly awarded scholars. These GCOEs, in chemistry, biology, physics, environmental science, molecular medicine and micro/nanotechnology, are five-year programs aimed at advancing the frontiers of science in their respective disciplines with an emphasis on nurturing the scientific leaders of the future.
