Distinguished lecture and faculty Interaction with Prof. Peter Langer

Amity School of Applied Science, Amity University Gurgaon organized a distinguished lecture and faculty interaction with Prof Peter Langer (Head of Division of Organic Chemistry) University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany to discuss the chemistry of synthesizing complex indigo like structures and their unique functionalizations methods.

 Prof Langer begins his session with beautifully depicting the history, geography and heritage of Rostock, a peaceful city near the Baltic sea. Thereafter, he touched upon the research interests of his current working group that included cyclisation reaction, heterocyclic synthesis, targeted catalysis, nano-chemistry and many others. He also focused on the chemistry of synthesizing complex indigo like structures and their unique functionalizations methods through which they can be linked to carbohydrate moieties. He also mentioned on recently developed molecules from his lab and he emphasized on their promising anticancer activities.
