Dear Sir/madam,
As author of scientific work regarding natural substances in animal health you might be interested in one of the main topics of the upcoming 9th Joint Natural Products Conference (www.jnpc2016.dk) next July in Copenhagen:
Theme 4: Natural products as preventive and curative medicine for humans and animals
o Functional food and feed - edible plants with health-promoting properties
o Ethnopharmacology - modern sciences for the study of traditional medicine practices
o Preclinical and clinical studies of herbal products
o Natural products in animal healthcare and veterinary medicine
The submission platform (https://www.conferencemanager.dk/JointNaturalProductsConference2016/online-registration-module.html) is already open and will be so till 1st of March 2016 .
One of the Co-Organizers of this congress is the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA). For the third time the GA networking group on medicinal plants and natural products in animal healthcare and veterinary medicine initiated the animal related topic. Our network aims to connect people with an interest in natural products in animal healthcare and veterinary medicine worldwide.
The GA networking group on medicinal plants and natural products in animal healthcare and veterinary medicine has members of different professional backgrounds like veterinarians, pharmacists, agronomists, biologists etc. who work in research, practice or industry. Currently members of our network belong to 5 continents.
We would like to encourage all scientists involved or interested in research regarding veterinary phytopharmacology and ethnoveterinary medicine, clinical applications of natural products and herbal drug materials in animals as well as plant derived feeding additives to submit high quality scientific abstracts, to present short lectures and posters and to discuss research results and project ideas with colleagues from all over the world. Accepted and presented abstracts will be published in a special issue of the peer reviewed journal Planta Medica.
Please pass this information on to any colleagues who might be interested.
Looking forward to a lot of interesting abstracts on our topic and to meeting you next year in Copenhagen!
Kind regards,
Anette van der Aa and Michael Walkenhorst
Themes and scientific topics
The Joint Natural Products Conference
in Copenhagen 2016 aims at bringing
together scientists from different fields
of natural products research. The
program is divided in five themes, with
main scientific topics as listed below:
Theme 1: Advances in natural products
research spurred by new technological
developments
• Bioinformatics and chemoinformatics
– transforming data into knowledge
• Metabolomics and profiling
technologies – data-driven exploration
of the metabolome
• Network- and polypharmacology –
understanding the complex pharmacological
properties of natural drugs
• The analytical challenge – hyphenation
and miniaturization for accelerated
identification of bioactive compounds
from nature
Theme 2: Sources of bioactive
compounds
• Traditional medicine and medicinal
plants
• Marine natural products – exploring
the treasure of the oceans
• The chemistry of fungi, actinomycetes
and microalgae
• Endophytes – microorganisms that
produce bioactive natural products
in plants and in isolated cultures
• Synthetic and semisynthetic
approaches in natural products
research
Theme 3: Sustainable sources of
bioactive natural products
• Plant biotechnology – tools for
developing plants for a changing
world
• Microbial biotechnology – engineering
small organisms with large potential
• Biorefineries – value-added
compounds from biomass
Theme 4: Natural products as
preventive and curative medicine for
man and animals
• Functional food and feed – edible
plants with health-promoting
properties
• Ethnopharmacology – modern
sciences for the study of traditional
medicine practices
• Preclinical and clinical studies of
herbal products
• Natural products in animal healthcare
and veterinary medicine
Theme 5: Production and regulatory
aspects of herbal preparations
• Production and formulation
technologies of herbal products
• Quality control of herbal products
and herbal dietary supplements
• Regulatory affairs sciences – the legal
aspects of manufacturing and sale
of herbal products
