6. Long description FIBER International Symposium is intended to discuss and debate actively most-advanced chemical findings for biomolecular chemistry and biomolecular engineering.
The symposium will have four invited speakers from Europe and the United States, who are frontier scientists in the field of nucleic acid chemistry. In addition, since this symposium will allow quite a lot of time for free discussion, young scientists and students can have a chance to discuss directly with the invited speakers.

Period: November 6 (Sun.) - November 8 (Tue), 2011
Venue: Port Island Campus, Konan University
Invited Speakers:
・Janez Plavec (Professor, head of Slovenian NMR Centere National Institute of Chemistry, Slovenia)
・Jean-Louis Mergny (Professor, Institut Europeen de Chimie et Biologie, Universite Bordeaux, France)
・Jean-Marc Escudier (Professor, Laboratoire de Synthese et Physico-Chimie de Molecules d’Interet Biologique, Universite Paul Sabatier, France)
・John Randolph (Glen Research Corporation, USA)
