By hook or by crook – structural solutions from challenging crystals
The joint CCG/IG autumn meeting “By hook or by crook – structural solutions from challenging crystals” will be held at GSK in Stevenage on the 20th November.
This year at this meeting CCDC will be awarding Sihai Yang, from the University of Manchester, the CCDC Chemical Crystallography Prize for Younger Scientists when he gives the prize lecture on his research.
