Nanfang Metropolis Daily news Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn, a French scholar and 1987 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, becomes the “bellwether” of Lehn Institute of Functional Materials (LIFM), Sun Yat-sen University where he will give personal instructions to SYSU Ph.D. candidates on their research. Moreover, it seems that being the institute’s boss is not enough for him, since he also managed to invite a few academicians from the German Academy of Sciences to the institute. Yesterday, LIFM was formally established and an inaugural ceremony for its members was held. It is learned that Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn started his collaborations with many Chinese scholars as early as 25 years ago.
