"Functional Polymer Materials Designed for Environmental Remediation and Sustainability", "DNA Nanostructures for Cellular Delivery of Therapeutics", "Complex Natural Product Synthesis." These intriguing topics surrounding human life, environment, and health involve cutting-edge scientific and technological developments and fall in the sphere of molecular science. Molecular science is a comparatively recent field of research encompassing biochemistry, molecular chemistry, medicine, and pharmacy, and is transforming our future lives.

The International Symposium on Visionary Trends in Molecular Science was held from Feb 24 to 26 in the Science Library of Tianjin University (TJU). This symposium aimed to promote academic research and education in molecular science, and was organized by the Health Science Platform of TJU. The symposium was held in strategic partnership with Science and Nature, and sponsored by well-known magazines and institutes, including Cell, JACS, CHEM, Elsevier, Thermofisher, Agilent, Pharmacodia, RSC, ACS, and others. Not only top scientists in the molecular science field, such as Nobel Laureates and distinguished professors, but also students from prestigious domestic universities attended the symposium.
