Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to announce that the PSE meeting 2025 will take place in Madeira Island, Portugal, 22-24 October 2025, 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.
Madeira is a small island, home of a 20-million-year-old subtropical forest, the largest surviving area of the laurel forest that once covered the Mediterranean coasts, classified as UNESCO natural world patrimony. Funchal is a trendy and vibrant city, with mild weather conditions all year round, that we hope everybody can enjoy.
