Phytochemistry, Metabolomics & Natural Bioactive Compounds
This session explores secondary metabolite biosynthesis, metabolic regulation, and analytical discovery of plant-derived biomolecules with pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and industrial potential. Presentations will showcase omics-based metabolic profiling, pathway engineering, bioprospecting of wild and medicinal species, and scalable extraction and purification strategies. Ethical sourcing, biodiversity rights, and commercialization challenges will also be discussed.
