The International Symposium on Edible & Medical Plant Resources and the Bioactive Ingredients, which is supported and launched by Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is held every two years. It is faced to scientists who study on edible & medical plant resources around the world. The 6th International Symposium on Edible & Medical Plant Resources and the Bioactive Ingredients (ISEPR2018) will be held onOctober14th to 16th2018, in Nanjing, China. The goal of ISEPR 2018 is to provide an opportunity to exchange achievements about resources, cultivations, chemical constituents, bioactivities and medical applications of edible& medical plants. To discuss the hot points andthe core problems in the relevant fields, and to foresee the prospect in basicresearches and technologies. The latest developments of this field,domestic and abroad, are expected to promote scientific exchanges, cooperationand communications among the scientists around the world.   

ISEPR 2018 is hosted byNanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Shenzhen Research Institute of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and Central Asian Drug Discovery and Development Center of Chinese Academy of Sciences,Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, CAS. Many scholars around the world will be invited to give the special presentationon the topic of edible and medicinal plants. Pharmaceutical companies will also welcomed to give presentation about the topic.
