The 8th Asia-Pacific NMR Symposium (APNMR) was held successfully at the School of Biological Sciences (SBS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) from 3 to 6 July 2019.
The APNMR symposium is a signature scientific platform to bring Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) research community together in the Asia-Pacific region for promoting scientific exchange and international collaboration. This was another high-quality symposium consisting of scientific and technical sessions covering all aspects of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Research including solution state, solid state, metabolomics, magnetic imaging and drug discovery.
We had the honour of having His Excellency Ahn Young Jip, the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to the Republic of Singapore grace the opening ceremony and Professor Subra Suresh (President, NTU) deliver the opening address. There were 254 registered participants, one keynote and five plenary lectures by distinguished scientists, and more than 180 papers discussed by invited speakers, oral and poster presentations.
