4th International Symposium on Edible Plant
Resources and the Bioactive Ingredients
(First Circular)
The International Symposium on Edible Plant Resources and the Bioactive
Ingredients, which is supported and launched by Central Asian Center of Drug
Discovery and Development of Chinese Academy of Sciences, is held every two years.
It is faced to scientists who study on edible plant resources in the world. The 4th
International Symposium on Edible Plant Resources and the Bioactive Ingredients
(ISEPR2014) will be held on July 25th to 27th, 2014, in Pamir, Tajikistan. The goal of
ISEPR2014 is to provide an opportunity to exchange the achievements in the studies
on resources, cultivations, chemical constituents, bioactivities and medical
applications of edible plants, to discuss the hot points and the core problems in the
relevant fields, and to foresee the prospect in basic researches and technologies. The
latest developments in this field home and abroad are expected to promote scientific
exchanges, cooperation and communications among the scientists around the world.
ISEPR2014 is hosted by Academy of Sciences of Republic of Tajikistan and
Central Asian Center of Drug Discovery & Development of Chinese Academy of
Sciences, and organized by Pamir Biologically institute of Academy of Sciences of
Republic of Tajikistan, Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics & Chemistry, Chinese
Academy of Sciences, Research & Development Center of Traditional Chinese
Medicine, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Innovation Center
of Biology and Medicine of Academy of Sciences of Republic of Tajikistan. The
Symposium will invite many famous scholars domestic and overseas to give special
speeches on investigations and applications on edible plants, and many medical and
health care company entrepreneur, scientific researchers will join the symposium to
give lectures.
