Official Information:

Chirality 2009 will bring together world-renown scientists to provide the largest and most thorough coverage of all aspects and advances related to chirality, and its impact on the practical and economic aspects of science and technology.

The International Symposium on Chirality is an international forum devoted to discussion of all aspects of chirality in the life and natural sciences. The symposium series, which alternates between the United States, Europe and Asia, is the premier meeting for the presentation and discussion of recent scientific and technological advances related to all aspects of molecular chirality. The program will include the Chirality Medal Award and reception, keynote lectures, contributed oral presentations on original research and applications, poster sessions, round table discussion, seminars, exhibits, educational training/short courses, poster competition, and a symposium banquet.

The broad spectrum of lecture and poster presentations will create an interdisciplinary forum highlighting the following scientific themes:

* Fundamental aspect of molecular chirality
* Stereoselective synthesis & catalysis
* Supramolecular chirality
* New chiral selectors
* Enzymatic methods
* Chirality and biology
* Chirality and pharmaceutical sciences
* Chiral pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
* Chiral sensors
* Chiroptical spectroscopy
* Enantioseparation techniques (analytical & preparative)
* Resolution techniques
* Chiral polymers
* Chirality and environment
* Chirality and fragrances
* Natural products
