PSE Meeting 2025 - Phytochemicals as drugs, Foods and Biocommunicators
Entre os dias 22 e 24 de outubro, o Funchal será palco do Encontro da Sociedade Europeia de Fitoquímica (Phytochemical Society of Europe - PSE), que terá como tema central “Phytochemicals as drugs, Foods and Biocommunicators”.
Organizado pela PSE e pelo Centro de Química da Madeira (CQM), o encontro decorrerá no Meliá Madeira Mare Hotel e tem como objetivo reunir especialistas, jovens investigadores e estudantes para a partilha de conhecimento e debate na área dos Produtos Naturais, desde a biossíntese, biotransformação e caracterização, até a sua utilização como fármacos e pró-fármacos, a sua função como componentes bioativos de alimentos, e ainda, o seu papel como biocomunicadores entre micro e/ou macroorganismos. Será também objeto de debate a regulamentação vigente relativa ao uso e controlo de qualidade de fitoquímicos em alimentos.
A sessão de abertura está agendada para o dia 22 de outubro, pelas 13h30, e contará com a presença do Vice-Reitor da UMa para a Investigação, Inovação e Internacionalização, José S. Câmara; da Secretária Regional de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia, Elsa Fernandes; do Coordenador Científico do CQM, João Rodrigues; e da Presidente da PSE, Maria Jose Umbelino Ferreira.
Precedendo a sessão de abertura,será proferida, às 10h30 a palestra “Artificial Intelligence in Phytochemistry and Natural Product Research”, por Thomas Effert, da Johannes Gutenberg University, Alemanha.
The PSE Meeting 2025 will take place in Madeira Island, Portugal, from 22nd to 24th October of 2025, at Meliá Madeira Mare Hotel.
The theme is “Phytochemicals as Drugs, Foods and Biocommunicators” and the meeting aims at bringing together expert scientists, young researchers and students working on exciting discoveries in all aspects of the world of Natural Products, from their biosynthesis, biotransformation and characterization, their use as drugs and prodrugs, their function as bioactive components of foodstuffs, to their role as biocommunicators between micro and/or macroorganisms. Regulation for the use and quality control of phytochemicals in foods and drugs will be addressed as well.
It is our goal to provide an excellent platform for exchanging ideas, discussing challenges, and setting up new research collaborations.
