Conference - Drugs from Natural Products IV

Introduction

Natural products continue to play a key role in drug discovery and provide challenges for synthetic chemistry. The organisers of "Drugs from Natural Products IV" invite you to join them in a 2 day meeting which will display examples of both these challenges and of the important role these agents play in the search for new medicines. A world class group of speakers from both academia & industry have agreed to present their work and we look forward to an excellent meeting.
