Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine natural products steadily continue to increase in number and unusual scaffolds. In addition to their role in bioprospecting, including pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical and nutraceutical applications, these molecules are privileged targets of chemical and molecular studies, and also cause traditional interest as determining factors in the structuring and functioning of marine communities.
The 15th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products (MaNaPro) will take place in Cumbuco Beach, Ceará, Brazil, from 29 August to 2 September, 2016, covering many aspects related to marine natural products research. MaNaPro presents an ideal environment for scientific discussions, interaction between researchers, and for the establishment of collaborations. Traditionally, the symposium is a unique and privileged opportunity to leverage research in the field of marine natural products. The scientific program includes sections on the following topics: marine genetic resources, chemical ecology, chemical synthesis, chemodiversity, "omics" approaches, and the development of new drugs from marine molecules.
Marine Drugs is setting up a Special Issue on "Selected Papers from the 15th International Symposium on Marine Natural Products", which will cover the main highlights presented at the conference.
