Thieme is delighted to be co-organizing this Organic Chemistry Symposium in collaboration with South China University of Technology. We would like to give special thanks to our host Professor Min Zhang 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!
