International Conference on Biodiversity and Natural Products takes place July 13 to 18
| News
Approximately 200 world-class scientists from around the world will attend the International Conference on Biodiversity and Natural Products at the Delta Prince Edward Hotel in Charlottetown from July 13 to 18.
This is the first time that the conference, sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), has been held in North America. It is chaired by Dr. Russell Kerr, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Marine Natural Products Chemistry at UPEI.
The conference, which has been developed by an international science advisory panel, will include plenary, invited and contributed talks on various aspects of the discovery and development of therapeutic compounds from natural marine and land-based organisms.
IUPAC conferences are highly rated by the scientific community and attract the highest calibre of scientists from around the world. Formed in 1919 by chemists from industry and academia, IUPAC has fostered worldwide communications in the chemical sciences and in uniting academic, industrial and public-sector chemistry in a common language. IUPAC has long been recognized as the world authority on chemical nomenclature, terminology, standardized methods for measurement, atomic weights and many other critically evaluated data.
