The first of the International Symposia on Advancing the Chemical Sciences (ISACS) series next year is to be Challenges in Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology (ISACS7) on 12 – 15 June at the University of Edinburgh, UK.

See the excellent list of confirmed speakers and details of the abstract submission process here.

2011 will again see the Natural Product Reports (NPR) Editorial team travelling to conferences around the world to meet researchers and to see some of the latest work being carried out. A full list of where you can find us this year can be found on the NPR blog. 

The first meeting on our schedule for this year is the Zing Natural Products conference – 13th – 16th February – in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt. This conference, sponsored by NPR, will be a great opportunity to not only see some of the latest cutting edge natural products research but also to meet authors and readers of the journal. Editor Richard Kelly will be attending on behalf of NPR.

The meeting will be co-Chaired by NPR Advisory Board member and former NPR Chair David O’Hagan (University of St Andrews, UK) and NPR Advisory Board member Margaret Brimble (University of Auckland, New Zealand) and looks set to cover the breadth of natural products research: from isolation and structural studies to biosynthesis to synthesis of molecules. Included in the line up of speakers are NPR Editorial Board members Andreas Kirschning (Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany) and Stefan Schulz (TU Braunschweig, Germany), former NPR Chair Tom Simpson (University of Bristol, UK) and former Lecture Award winner Jason Micklefield (University of Manchester, UK).

If you are travelling to this conference and would like to meet Richard Kelly, Editor of NPR, then please drop us an email to let us know.

The NPR team will be attending a number of conferences in 2011 and we would be delighted to meet you.
