We are very pleased to host the 12th Asian Cyclodextrin Conference in Kyoto, Japan. Cyclodextrins are versatile host molecules that solubilize various hydrophobic substances in water through non-covalent host-guest interactions. Their applications range widely in chemistry, pharmacology, food science, pharmaceutical sciences, polymeric materials, and molecular machinery. During the conference, we expect all participants to interact with each other under one keyword "cyclodextrin", transcending the boundaries of their respective fields. Professors, researchers, students, and anyone interested in cyclodextrins from all over the world are mostly welcome. We hope that we can provide a valuable, memorable, and precious experience for all participants in the beautiful autumn season of Kyoto. Welcome!
