We are going to become the elite chemists🧪🧪🧪
Dr. Sasaki and five students of the junior high school attached to the university enjoyed the synthesis of organic luminescent molecules. The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling is useful to make carbon-carbon bonds and famous as a Norbel Prize reaction.

10 years: Time flies quickly⏱💨
Toshiki joined the Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology 10 years ago (November 1st, 2012). He deeply acknowledges continuous supports from Professor Emeritus Toshiyuki Itoh, colleagues, staffs, and students of the University during that time. Together with Dr. Norihiko Sasaki and co-workers, he will contribute to excellence of the University through chemical research and education at the boundaries of organic chemistry and others research areas.
