More about the Sixth Princess Chulabhorn International Science Congress
The Sixth Princess Chulabhorn International Science Congress Program was initiated by Professor Dr. Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn of Thailand to provide a forum for the exchange of the latest information and most recent advances in research among the international scientific community.
The Sixth Princess Chulabhorn International Science Congress is entitled “The Interface of Chemistry and Biology in the ‘Omics’ Era”. It will be held in Bangkok from November 25-29, 2007 and will mark the occasion of the 80th birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand, a time of joy and jubilation, which all scientists are invited to share. The goal of the conference is to highlight how linkages between new areas of chemistry and biology contribute to the treatment and prevention of diseases in the global population. The significance of fast-growing interdisciplinary research, spanning work from the level of the molecule to the whole body system will be brought into focus on two main themes:1) environment and health; and 2) drug discovery.
