Posted by The most important event of the cyclodextrin researchers was the 21st International Cyclodextrin Symposium held on June 10-14, 2024 in Dunkerque, France. Thre were 166 registered participants (see the featured image on the participants per countries). In addition to the 3 plenary lectures, the 13 key note lectures starting each oral sessions and further 48 oral and 17 flash presentations got the possibility to show the latest developments in the cyclodextrin chemistry and applications. Three poster sessions offered an opportunity to discuss with the presenters of the 56 posters. (Thanks for these data to Sophie Fourmentin).
The mirror-image L-cyclodextrin was elected for the C&EN’s Molecule of the Year which is a great honor not only to the team of Nobel laureate Professor Sir Fraser Stoddart but also for the whole cyclodextrin community.
