Nachwuchsforschende der Sektion Naturstoffe trafen sich zu einem online-Workshop

Sorry, in German only

Nach wiederholter, Pandemie-bedingter Verschiebung des traditionellen Sektions-Workshops für Wissenschaftler*innen im frühen Karrierestadium lud Professor Jonathan Gershenzon - statt nach Jena - zu einem alternativen Format ein: Für einen Nachmittag trafen sich 120 Naturstoff-Forschende am 29. März 2022 in einer Videokonferenz, die neben spannenden Vorträgen auch Raum für Diskussion der Forschungsergebnisse bot. Sektionssprecherin Prof. Ute Wittstock von der TU Braunschweig und Gastgeber Gershenzon vom Max-Planck-Institut für Chemische Ökologie berichten über die Themen der geladenen internationalen Gäste und beschreiben, welche Techniken der Naturstoffforschung gerade einen Aufschwung bescheren.

About us

The section Natural Products brings together scientists of several generations who are interested in various aspects of natural products research ranging from biosynthesis over physiological and ecological function and evolution to biotechnological production of natural plant products. The sections furthers scientific exchange between its members and supports early career scientists.

Activities

Members of the section receive information about activities of the section, section meetings, workshops and relevant job announcements via Email.

Scientific meetings

The section Natural Products meets every second year (alternating with Botanikertagung) for a symposium. These meetings provide a nice platform for scientific exchange and  are especially devoted to young scientists. PhD students and postdocs have the opportunity to present their work, to discuss it in an informal atmosphere and to build their scientific network.

The next section meeting will be held in Jena, Germany, on October 02-04, 2020.

Membership

Members pay a yearly fee of 10 €. Members of our head organisation, Deutsche Botanische Gesellschaft (DBG), can become a member of our section through the DBG website.

Please contact the section's speakers if you have questions, suggestions or requests.
