Meet the Queen of Cyclodextrins: A Masterclass Exam Success Story

Before Christmas, we presented the “exam” of the cyclodextrin masterclasses. The contestants competed online, facing 30 questions about cyclodextrins to find out who is the king of cyclodextrins.

Or the Queen, in this case.

Shima Kalantari Fard grabbed the throne at the very last question.

Not only were the event and all the masterclasses fun to deliver, but Shima’s message also warmed our hearts dearly:

“I would like to sincerely thank you, for the excellent masterclasses and for all the support you provide. The sessions were extremely valuable and truly enhanced my understanding of cyclodextrins.

I also wanted to share that I placed first in the online competition . It was a great experience, and it would not have been possible without the quality of the training and materials you provided.

Thank you again for your dedication, knowledge sharing, and continuous support. It is greatly appreciated.”

Cyclodextrin Masterclass – Your time to shine

The Cyclodextrin Masterclass series has become a cornerstone for education and science communication in the field, fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers, students, and industry experts worldwide. Over its ten editions, it has helped bridge fundamental science and applied innovation, supporting the growth of the global cyclodextrin community and inspiring new generations of scientists.

As we approach the 10th edition, we invite researchers to present their cyclodextrin-related work in a 15-minute talk (10 min presentation and 5 min Q&A) at one of our upcoming Masterclasses.

If you’d like to share your research, please send a short abstract to tamas.sohajda@carbohyde.com.
