Also in April, researcher Jean-Marie Lehn, laureate of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry (1987), honorary member of the Romanian Academy, will be present at UVT for a meeting of great intellectual brilliance, under the sign of passion for science. The French academic was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1987, along with two other researchers, for the work done in the synthesis of cryptands. The awarding of the distinction was motivated by the fact that Jean-Marie Lehn found in 1969 related molecules, which he called "cryptand", through which it is possible to create chemical compounds in chemical reactions that have a significant impact on biological processes.
