Welcome message:

Drug discovery and development from natural products remains a challenging scientific

task, which requires expertise and experience. For many years, botanical serves as the

source of therapeutically active molecules. However, in addition to their chemical

structure diversity and their biodiversity, the development of new technologies has

revolutionized the process of discovery of new drugs. New technologies including

several analytical techniques offer a unique opportunity to establish natural products as

a major source for drug discovery leading to development of new therapeutic agent. The

drug development is undergoing a revolution due to recent advancements in

combinatorial biosynthesis, microbial genomics and screening processes. Moreover,

access to hyphenated techniques like Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry,

Liquid Chromatography-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance have raised the hope of

drastically reducing the time and cost involved.

This seminar will focus on some contemporary issues on the analytical techniques used

for the drug discovery & development with special reference to natural resources

particularly for their quality evaluation, validation and related aspects.

We cordially invite you to participate in the conference and join the array of

professionals, eminent scientists and technologists to make the deliberation a great

success.

National Seminar 2016

School of Natural product Studies (SNPS)

www.jaduniv.edu.in

School of Natural product Studies, Jadvpur University is dedicated to the

promotion of knowledge on natural products and the dissemination of

information through educational programs, research activities and sharing of

experiences on the scientific validation of herbs for betterment of healthcare of the society. The

school has been working on different integrated approaches for drug development from natural

resources to explore the wide biodiversity of India and to emerge as a centre for excellence in

the field of natural product research. The main goal of the school is to empower individuals with

the skills, spirit and experience in the scientific validation of natural products in respect of its

quality, efficacy and safety.

Society for Ethnopharmacology (SFE) “Globalizing local knowledge and localizing global technologies”

www.ethnopharmacology.in

SFE - India is constituted by the eminent academicians, researchers,

industrialists with the vision of providing an environment for knowledge

sharing among the people interested in promotion of Ethnopharmacology

and medicinal plant. The Society is registered under the West Bengal Society Registration act

and is affiliated to the International Society for Ethnopharmacology, UK. The mission of the

society is promotion and development of traditional medicine and medicinal plants through

dissemination of knowledge and development of collaboration and cooperation in this area. The

society organizes conferences, seminars, symposiums, workshops etc in different parts of India

for discussion and sharing knowledge on different issues of natural product research. The

Society helps to inculcate the modern global knowledge on herb, herbal remedies, herbal quality

assurance, herbal trade and commerce, and herbal drug development, so that the person with

local knowledge can be upgraded. It forms a bridge between the academic and industry to

gather scientific and teaching professional in Ethnopharmacology and also professional of other

area interested in developing cost effective natural remedies, under one umbrella. The society

also provides various scholarships and awards to the deserving students and scientists jointly

with other organizations.

Highlights of the event:

Eminent academicians, scientists, researchers, technologists from universities, industries and

other research organizations will share their experiences on the following topics:

Hyphenated analytical techniques for the identification of bioactive compounds from

natural product – a major tool for drug discovery

Metabolomic study through target compound analysis - an approach towards drug

discovery

Drug discovery & development – Global perspectives.

Modern molecular biology techniques to elucidate the possible mechanism of action for

drug discovery & development

Pharmacokinetic approaches for lead optimization in Natural product based Drug

discovery
