Dear all We are very pleased to announce that between the 21st and 24th of November 2016, we will be hosting the 'Plant Omics and Biotechnology for Human Health (POBHH)' Conference in Gent, within the framework of the Phytochemical Society of Europe. The PSE originated as the Plant Phenolics Group in Cambridge, UK in 1957 and serves those with an interest in the chemistry and biochemistry of plants and in the applications of such knowledge in industry and agriculture. More information can be found at http://phytochemicalsociety.org. Through this meeting we wish to launch a platform to bring together European and International labs working on plant metabolites with nutraceutical and pharmaceutical properties that benefit human health. The meeting aims to provide a forum to present the latest developments in the fields of functional genomics for plant metabolism, metabolic engineering in plants, synthetic biology for plant-derived chemicals, and challenges faced in plant omics and biotechnology. Detailed information about the program, registration, abstract submission and updates can be found here http://www.psb.ugent.be/PSE/index.php Kind regards, The organizers Alain Goossens and Tessa Moses Follow us on Twitter: @POBHH_PSE2016 -- Tessa Moses Postdoctoral fellow Tel:+32 (0)9 331 38 57 Department of Plant Systems Biology VIB, Ghent University Technologiepark 927 9052 Ghent, Belgium http://www.psb.ugent.be
