Prof. Andrée Kirsch from Free University of Brussels paid a visit to Technical Institute of  Physics and Chemistry (TIPC),CAS on Aug.11, 2010.

After the visit, Prof. Andrée Kirsch delivered a wonderful lecture entitled “Ru(II) photo-activated complexes, intelligent molecular tools for cellular biology”, which introduced the application of transition metal complexes in biology. Then she had a discussion with the researchers and postgraduates of TIPC.
