Bioactive Natural Products Symposium. Oxford, July 11-13, 2016
Bioactive Natural Products Symposium: Translating Promise into Practice
- Event Website: http://www.maggichurchouseevents.co.uk/biotech/
- Event Date: 11 July 2016 to 13 July 2016
- Venue: St Catherine's College, Oxford, UK
- Organiser: Royal Society of Chemistry Biotechnology Group
The conference will focus on contemporary scientific research which will facilitate the therapeutic use of small molecules derived from natural sources. Modern research methods have brought back into the spotlight the concept of developing novel biomedical and agrochemical products from so-called natural products.
Speakers
