On behalf of the Conference Organising Committee, I have the pleasure of inviting you to participate in the 6th Annual CNPD Conference 2025, which will take place in association with the Society for Natural Products Discovery (SNPD) in Liverpool on 23-26 June 2025.
Like five successful CNPD conferences held previously, this conference will be a unique platform for highlighting the advances in natural products research covering cosmetics, food, medicine, and agricultural products. The conference will comprise plenary talks (30 min), invited talks (20 min), short talks (10 min), and poster presentations focusing on what matters most, to be delivered by global leaders in natural products research as well as by young scientists (PhD students and postdocs). This conference will offer individual sessions dedicated to open, interactive, and participatory discussions with selected panel members and the audience on various challenges around natural products research.
​
This conference marks the 6th anniversary of the foundation of the Centre for Natural Products Discovery (CNPD), which conducts externally funded and impactful natural products research to discover 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. This year, CNPD has teamed up with the newly formed society SNPD, which is a UK-registered charity dedicated to enhancing global collaboration, participation, and cooperation in high-value natural products research and public understanding of various applications of natural products.
I look forward to welcoming you to this exciting conference. Please Join us and have a wonderful time with our CNPD and SNPD members and all other participants!!!
