On behalf of the Centre for Natural Products Discovery (CNPD) and the Conference Organising Committee, I am delighted to invite you to participate in the 4th Annual CNPD Conference 2023 on ‘Natural Products in Cosmetics, Food and Medicine’ which will be held on 19-22 June 2023, marking the Bicentenary Celebration of Liverpool John Moores University (1823-2023).

 

Talking about the Bicentenary Celebration, Professor Mark Power, the Vice Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), has beautifully outlined the history of how LJMU has evolved over the last two centuries - “In July 1823 an institution was founded which became the catalyst for an educational revolution in the city of Liverpool. The Liverpool Mechanics and Apprentices Library evolved into the Mechanics Institute and through mergers and collaborative partnerships eventually led to the establishment of Liverpool John Moores University in 1992.”

 

This conference will be a unique four-day event showcasing the best in natural products research covering cosmetics, food, and medicine. The conference will comprise plenary/keynote talks (30 min), several standard talks (20 min), and short talks (10 min) focusing on what matters most, to be delivered by leaders in natural products research from all over the world. The spotlight of the conference will then move to young scientists (PhD students and postdocs), who will present their work. Like last year, this conference will also have two individual sessions dedicated to open, interactive and participatory discussions with selected panel members and the audience on various issues and challenges around natural products research.  

​

The conference will be held on Liverpool John Moores University Campus and hosted by the Centre for Natural Products Discovery (CNPD), Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). The CNPD conducts externally funded and impactful natural products research with the aim of discovering new high-value natural products that will contribute to tackling current and future societal and global challenges in health and well-being, socio-economic growth, natural conservation and environmental sustainability.  

 

The CNPD is based in the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences at LJMU, which is the second oldest Pharmacy education provider in the UK and has a rich history of world-leading natural products research.   

 

I look forward to welcoming you to this exciting conference. Please Join us and have a great time with our CNPD members and all other participants!!!
