Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am honored to invite you joining us for the 4-th International Conference on Natural Products Utilization: from Plants to Pharmacy Shelf (ICNPU-2019), which will take place on 29 May-01 June 2019, in Albena resort (Bulgaria).



The overwhelming response received, after the ICNPU-2013, ICNPU-2015 and ICNPU-2017 (350 participants/60 different countries), along with the numerous enquiries about the forth issue of it made us confident in our abilities to organize it again.

ICNPU meetings traditionally attempt to cover the wide spectrum of application of plants with special emphasis on the sustainable use of natural products, emerging -omics platforms and recent trends in (ethno)pharmacology, toxicology, molecular biology and biotechnology. ICNPU-2019 will feature plenary sessions, oral presentations and two poster sessions. World-renowned experts will share the latest developments in the field. A number of awards for the young colleagues, among us, will be ensured.



* Phytomedicine (Elsevier) and Food and Chemical Toxicology (Elsevier) will publish special issues with selected papers from ICNPU-2019.

The conference will take place in the charming Bulgarian coastal resort Albena, one of the pearls of Bulgaria North Black Sea coast. It is located in a picturesque bay 30 km away from Varna city. Albena is a unique blend of breathtaking sceneries, great atmosphere, a peculiar charm and magnetism.



In order to ensure a smooth organization of ICNPU-2019, we kindly request you to send your abstracts and to register at earliest convenience.



For further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We look forward to hosting you in Bulgaria!
