Molecular Pharming - Recent Progress in Manufacturing Medicines in Plants

Friday, 21 September 2012 09:00 - 17:00 London, United Kingdom

Molecular Pharming is on the brink of taking off! After two decades of development and academic proofs of principle, a number of recent advances have moved the technology rapidly towards commercialisation. The first products are now being licensed in the USA. The first-in-human clinical trial of a plant derived monoclonal antibody has been performed in Europe. And there has been significant investment into manufacturing facilities around the world.

This meeting will review the progress of the field, highlight major technological advances and scan the horizon for future developments.

Polymer Chemistry Conference 2012

Polymers: From Biomedical Applications to Energy

Monday November 12 2012 - Friday November 16 2012 Xcaret, Mexico

The continued application of synthetic chemistry to the development of new polymer-based materials has given polymer chemistry a critical role in the development of new materials across a broad range of applications that impact our lives, most recently in biomedical and energy-related areas. Synthetic methodologies that allow the shaping of polymeric materials to function as biomaterials in applications including tissue engineering, imaging, and the targeted delivery of drugs and biological materials will be presented. We will showcase creative designs and synthetic strategies for these multifunctional polymeric systems and composite materials. The multifaceted properties of polymers allow for the increasing advancement of polymers in energy-related applications. The optimization of polymer-based organic photovoltaic and hybrid materials for harvesting and storing solar energy, as well as the development of new semiconducting polymers will be topics of particular interest. The unique site and forum will give the attendees many opportunities to exchange ideas, discuss research challenges and forge new collaborations. The total number of attendees will be kept to a maximum of 100 to facilitate such interactions. The themes in 2012 will include: - Synthesis of Biomaterials - Applications of Nanomaterials in Medicine - Self assembly - Theranostics - Polymer Surfaces - Polymers for Imaging and Devices - Polymers and Energy

13th International Congress of the Society for Ethnopharmacology

in collaboration with the

Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research

and

Eurasia Pacific Uninet

September 2 - 6, 2012 Graz, Austria

The International Society for Ethnopharmacology is a collaborative, interdisciplinary group of scientists - anthropologists, pharmacists, pharmacologists, ethnobotanists, phytochemists, and others - all fascinated by the study of the local and global use of traditional medicines.

The 13th International Congress of the Society for Ethnopharmacology will be organized in collaboration with the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research and Eurasia-Pacific Uninet, and will be hosted by University of Graz, Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, in Graz/Austria from September 2 - 6, 2012.

Traditional medicinal knowledge has been transferred over the centuries and also over wide distances, and develops into globalised herbal medicine. In this congress we want to focus in particular on the intercultural aspects of herbal medicine and its relevance in modern societies. As an example, we want to discuss the relevance of the Silk Road for the exchange of medicinal plants and medicinal knowledge between east and west.

The research topics presented in plenary and keynote lectures will in particular deal with a holistic approach and the application of systems biology in medicinal plant research. Special emphasis will be on traditional and modern herbal medicinal products in ageing related and infectious diseases. However, presentations from other areas of ethnopharmacology will also be accepted as short lectures and posters.

MAIN SCIENTIFIC TOPICS

Intercultural ethnopharmacology Ethnomedicine along the Silk Road Herbal medicines - from traditional knowledge to global commodities Holistic approach and systems biology in medicinal plant research Traditional and modern herbal medicinal products in aging related diseases Traditional and modern herbal medicinal products in infectious diseases

Research contributions (short lectures, posters) related to the main scientific topics of the conference or other fields of ethnopharmacological plant research are warmly welcomed.

All abstracts must be submitted in pdf-format via our conference management system not later than April 1, 2012.
