After nearly three years of hiatus, you are invited to a hybrid symposium taking place at the UCL School of Pharmacy in London. For years we have held regular symposia covering research on herbal medicines and natural products. Finally, we are back, and an exciting group of speakers will give insights into the most recent developments. This upcoming symposium focuses on a wide range of topics related to natural products, their role in drug development, the challenges from a pharmaceutical analytical perspective, a new look at the use of medicinal plants by apes and, last but not least, the role of herbal medicine in today's societies. This will be immediately followed by the annual Frank Fish Memorial Lecture (separate free registration required), which will be given this year by Prof. Judith Rollinger. See below for the lineup of speakers. We look forward to seeing you!

In this memorial lecture she will present strategies to trace potentially cardiotoxic hERG channel blockers and to identify multipotent anti-infectives from natural sources.
