The seventh Sino-US Chemistry Professors Conference, co-organized by Guizhou University (Professor Baoan Song as the chairman) and CAPA (The Chinese-American Che-mistry & Chemical Biology Professors Association, USA; Professor Chuan He as the co-chairman) was successfully held in Huaxi, Guizhou, China on June 28?30, 2011. Over 200 professors from China and abroad participated in this conference with three parallel sessions on synthetic chemi-stry, natural products, synthetic materials, medicinal chemi-stry, and chemical biology. There were 106 oral presenta-tions and 15 poster presentations in this conference. We are indebted to our local hosts, Professor Baoan Song, the con-ference sectaries Professor Song Yang and Professor Cai-Guang Yang, and the staffs and students in the Center for Research and Development for Fine Chemicals of Guizhou University, for arranging the meeting in the historic Huaxi Guesthouse and their hospitality during the confe-rence.
