In 2022, the Opatz Group had the pleasure of hosting Prof. Leon Tapodjou, Dr. Borice Tsafack and Voutro Takeuneu from the University of Dschang in Cameroon. They spent two enriching months with us as guest researchers, thanks to the support of the Alexander-von-Humboldt Foundation. This collaboration fosters a bilateral exchange, strengthening the partnership between our institutions.
Continuing this fruitful relationship, Prof. Opatz, accompanied by Paul Eckhardt and Elisabeth Quraishi, embarked on a journey to Dschang, Cameroon in June 2024. During their visit, Prof. Opatz conducted a seminar on NMR theory, sharing valuable insights with the Tapondjou Group. Paul presented his research on "Natural Product Elucidation," while Eli offered an overview of "Fluorescent Ir(III) Complexes Derived from Natural Products." We are immensely grateful for this rewarding experience and are eager to maintain and further develop this excellent collaboration.
