Scientists Travel to Shanghai For Symposium - Georgetown College

SHANGHAI, China – Scientists from the Hilltop traveled to China this week to take part in the inaugural science symposium presented by Georgetown and Fudan Universities, June 18-20.

The two-and-half day symposium, which took place at Fudan’s main Handan campus in Shanghai, served as an arena where faculty members could present their research to one another and chat informally about ways they could work together in the future.

Led by professor YuYe Tong of the chemistry department, four other chemists and three physicists from Georgetown met with their counterparts at Fudan for a scientific exchange about everything from catalytic hydrocarbon functionalization to bifunctional metalloenzymes.
