This is a networking event to establish consortia of interdisciplinary expertise & innovative tools to fast track the research translation to the development of novel products and services

Led by the Natural Products BioHUB, the event offers a unique opportunity to explore opportunities for natural product development in pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and the food industry.

Natural Products are compounds derived from living organisms, including bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, and others. They represent a vital source for high-value pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and the food industry. There has been much progress in the development of natural products, however, only a tiny fraction of the potential of natural products has been explored and exploited. Natural products are key to address and play a part in solving our current health and environmental crisis.

The recent advances in computational biology, artificial intelligence and experimental high throughput research offer an opportunity to accelerate product development by exploiting synergies and potential across diverse stakeholders.
