For some considerable time, natural products have been a source of new chemistry that can be used as products directly or as the basis of new synthesis programs from which new chemicals can be developed. This meeting addresses the successes of natural product research, including chemicals, living systems, and genes, and examines how developing technology can make new discovery more effective.
