Thieme is delighted to be co-organizing this Organic Chemistry Symposium in collaboration with The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. We would like to give special thanks to our host Professor Hugh NAKAMURA for agreeing to co-host this symposium. Our motto at Thieme is to support our community for "Better Health and Better Life". We hope that all presentations will stimulate exchange of ideas, experiences, and potentially foster future research collaborations. Welcome to what promises to be an exciting meeting!
