AFERP & STOLON International Symposium
2013-05-22 @ 08:00 - 2013-05-24 @ 17:00
AFERP & STOLON International Symposium, Brussels, 22-24 May 2013. This will be the first joint symposium of two scientific associations in the field of natural products: “The French Association for the Study and Research in Pharmacognosy – AFERP” and “The Fungal – Plant Science Association Teacher-Researchers of Pharmacy Faculties in French – STOLON”. Among the local organisers of this symposium, there are two GP-TCM RA members: Pierre DUEZ ([email protected]) and Caroline STEVIGNY ([email protected]).
The symposium programme includes lectures covering various aspects of the identification of new pharmacologically active natural prototypes, the botanical identification of plants and harvesting, their uses in ethnopharmacology, the isolation and structural identification of active principles, the in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic and toxicological studies and analytical methods for quality control and rapid identification of known compounds. Among the invited speakers, three are GPTCM members: Monique Simmonds, Rob Verpoorte and Qihe Xu.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in this multidisciplinary field of natural substances of biological interest, including members of the AFERP and STOLON associations, but this event will be open to other national and international researchers in this interdisciplinary field. This is a chance to meet French researchers in the field; if you remember, France has been absent from GP-TCM activities so far.
More details about this event is available on the website of the AFERP association (early registration before March 1): www.aferp.univ-rennes1.fr
