Abstract Faced with an alarming ecological diagnosis, we urgently need to change our modes of operation and production towards mutual and harmonious growth of the economy and natural ecosystems. We show how solutions inspired by, or even based on, nature, …

Abstract This lecture will introduce the concept of nature's contributions to human populations, or ecosystem services. It will show how functional ecology approaches enable ecosystem services to be quantified on the basis of biodiversity. These …

Abstract Among various molecular structure analysis methods, single crystal diffraction stands out as the most reliable, providing precise three-dimensional structures of molecules. In 2013, our group introduced a new X-ray structure analysis method …

Abstract The most common reaction conducted in medicinal chemistry is an amide bond formation. As a consequence, carboxylic acids and amines are among the most prevalent commercially available functional groups. We have developed several strategies to …
