Natural Products Workshop (Series I): Basic Isolation and Purification of Metabolites in Natural Product Discovery.

Terrestrial plants and marine organism contain different secondary metabolites with unique structures and characteristics. In natural product discovery, the extraction, fractionation, isolation and purification use different solvent systems and chromatographic techniques are very essential lead to the discovery of potential bioactive compounds. Therefore, the Natural Products Workshop Series 1 covers basic understanding of various isolation and purification techniques as well as the extraction methods. The main target participants are:

  • Early graduate or post graduate students,
  • Science officers,
  • Researchers

Especially who are involved with natural products discovery.

Date      : 7 & 8 August 2017 (Monday & Tuesday)

Venue  : Meeting Room & Natural Product Lab, Institute of Marine Biotechnology (IMB)

Time      : 0800am – 1730pm
