General Information

The Department of Chemistry at the University of Kentucky organizes an annual Symposium on Chemistry and Molecular Biology. This Symposium was established in honor of Anna S. Naff, a University of Kentucky graduate, through the generous support of Dr. Benton Naff of NIH. The Symposium has an interdisciplinary character and is attended by students and faculty from Chemistry, Engineering, Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacy, and Medicine. The symposium is also attended by faculty and students from colleges and universities in Kentucky and the contiguous States.
