Location	Dreams Vacation (*****) Sharm el Sheikh Egypt Travel, Visas and attractions   Complex   Conference   Restaurant   Room
Date	Sunday February 13 2011 - Wednesday February 16 2011
Synopsis	Natural products continue to play an important role in the discovery of novel bioactives and isolating novelties, and understanding and engineering the biosynthesis of complex natural products are important directions in natural products research. Also, the development of methods in organic synthesis is continually stimulated by the challenge to construct complex natural product skeletons and achieving total syntheses. This conference will focus on modern aspects of the synthesis and biosynthesis of natural products. This meeting develops from two previous and highly successful conferences in this series. Plenary and Invited lectures from distinguished investigators are key features of the conference. These lecturers have been carefully chosen to highlight new developments in the field of natural products research. Slots will remain available for presentations from suitable abstracts, and delegates who what to present in poster format are most welcome. The participation of younger scientists is particularly encouraged and there will be ample opportunity for informal discussions in an attractive and productive environment.

Flights	Closest major airport Sharm el Sheikh (SSH), Egypt Sharm el Sheikh (SSH) International Airport (30 minutes from the venue) offers direct flights from most major European cities on a variety of airlines. A good, but not comprehensive list of low cost and charter options is available here. For scheduled access to Sharm el Sheikh from the rest of the world, the best option is to fly to a major European airport and connect to one of the direct flights. Best connections are Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Zurich and London. It is usually best to book the flight to Europe separately and use one of the low-cost or charter options to get to Sharm. Alternatively, fly to Cairo and then catch one of Egypt Air's seven daily flights to Sharm. There are many charter flight and low-cost carrier options from Europe to Sharm el Sheikh. Contact your local travel agent to find out about charter flights. Current scheduled flight options & costs Departure city / airport code:    Only 102 days until registration closes. Register now.
