The 4th International Symposium on Natural Product Synthesis and Process Methods for Drug Manufacturing

The 4^th International Symposium on Natural Product Synthesis and Process Methods for Drug Manufacturing (4^th-NPSPM) will be held in Shanghai during November 15-17, 2024. NPSPM, initiated in 2012 as a biennial event, has been successfully held 3 times in different cities (Chongqing, Nanjing and Beijing), and the 4^th symposium was postponed due to the epidemic and other reasons. Over the years, this conference has become an important global event in the areas of reaction methods, natural product synthesis, and process chemistry. 

The 4^th-NPSPM will be organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, and the scientific program will include two day lectures including plenary, keynote and invited lectures. This conference will provide an exciting platform for exchanging innovative ideas and discussing future perspectives in reaction methods and synthetic organic chemistry of natural products and drugs. Additionally, it serves as an opportunity to foster meaningful relationships and connections among participants.

Shanghai is located in the eastern region of China, on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean and the eastern edge of the Asian continent. It is part of the Yangtze River Delta alluvial plain. As one of the four municipalities in China, Shanghai has 16 districts, a total area of 6340.5 square kilometers, and a permanent population of over 24 million. Shanghai is an international economic, financial, trade, shipping center and a national historical and cultural city, with famous scenic spots such as the Bund, Yu Garden and local cuisine.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the 4^th-NPSPM.
