Collaboration initiatives towards the developments of natural plant and marine based products for medical and biotechnological use

For thousand of years, humans have used plants to treat diseases, even though the active content of such plants materials were not known neither the mechanism of actions of such compounds. Indeed, many of such compounds from plant origin are still in clin ical practice today. The identification o...
