A resurgence in natural product discovery is being observed, driven by groundbreaking advancements in microbial genome sequencing. The event "Natural Products 2023" is set to delve into this fascinating renaissance, where the potential of microbial secondary metabolites is being unlocked. Despite a decline in natural product discovery within the pharmaceutical industry over the past thirty years, the significance of natural product chemical scaffolds remains undeniable. These scaffolds have consistently yielded crucial antimicrobial agents, immunomodulators, antitumor agents, and plant crop protectants. The event will showcase how genome mining is revolutionizing the activation of cryptic pathways, revealing a treasure trove of untapped natural compounds.

A collaborative effort by the Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, The Korean Society for Microbiology and Biotechnology, and The Society for Actinomycetes Japan, this international meeting is poised to be a pivotal gathering for those invested in the genomic era of natural product discovery and development. Attendees will gain insights into the latest research and techniques that are transforming the field. The event promises to highlight the innovative strategies that are being employed to overcome the challenges of expressing secondary metabolite pathways that remain dormant under standard laboratory conditions.

By attending "Natural Products 2023," participants will be immersed in a dynamic environment where knowledge exchange and collaboration are fostered. The event will serve as a platform for networking with leading experts and peers who are at the forefront of this scientific revolution. The discussions and presentations are expected to inspire new ideas and partnerships, driving forward the potential applications of natural products in various industries. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a transformative movement that is redefining the boundaries of natural product research and its applications in the modern world.
