US-Egypt Workshop on Natural Products Chemistry, Cairo, Egypt, January 1999

9813760 Le Quesne描述：该奖项是为了支持将于1999年1月在埃及开罗举行的美国-埃及天然产物化学研讨会。 美国组织者是马萨诸塞州波士顿东北大学化学教授Philip Le Quesne博士。 埃及组织者是埃及开罗国家研究中心（NRC）主席Nabiel Saleh博士。 为期四天的研讨会的目标是：审查自然产品的知识状况，特别是与埃及有关的知识;美国和埃及科学家之间交流信息，以鼓励合作项目的发展;并确定潜在联合研究提案的优先主题。 将讨论的主题包括天然产物的分离和结构测定，天然产物在医学和生物学中的应用，以及天然产物的合成化学。 科学家们还将参观埃及一些主要的学术和工业研究实验室。范围：本次研讨会将汇集美国和埃及天然产品研究各个领域的科学家，制定联合研究议程。 Le Quesne博士在几个国家的天然产品的实地研究和化学分析方面有着长期的经验。 预计美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）将支持两名NIH科学家参加研讨会。 埃及组织者萨利赫博士是埃及最大的政府研究实验室的负责人，也是一位备受尊敬的天然产物化学家。 核管制委员会在这一领域有一个强大的团体，他们的兴趣和专长各不相同。 计划出版一份会议记录，其中包括介绍情况和建议的美埃联合研究项目领域。 这一建议符合INT的目标，即支持有可能在共同感兴趣的领域加强合作的联合讲习班。

9813760Le QuesneDescription: This award is to support a US-Egypt Workshop on Natural Products Chemistry, to be held in Cairo, Egypt, in January 1999. The US organizer is Dr. Philip Le Quesne, Professor of Chemistry at Northeastern University, Boston, MA. The Egyptian organizer is Dr. Nabiel Saleh, President, National Research Center (NRC) in Cairo, Egypt. The objectives of the four-day workshop are: review the state of knowledge of natural products, especially those pertinent to Egypt; exchange information between US and Egyptian scientists to encourage the development of cooperative projects; and identify priority topics for potential joint research proposals. The topics to be discussed include isolation and structure determination of natural products, natural products in medicine and biology, and synthetic chemistry of natural products. The scientists will also visit some of the major academic and industrial research laboratories in Egypt.Scope: This workshop will bring together US and Egyptian scientists in various areas of natural products research to develop an agenda for joint research. Dr. Le Quesne has had a long experience in field studies and chemical analysis of natural products in several foreign countries. It is expected that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will support the participation of two NIH scientists in the workshop. The Egyptian organizer, Dr. Saleh, is the head of the largest government research laboratory in Egypt, and is a well-respected natural product chemist. The NRC has a strong group in that field with diverse interests and specialties. It is planned to publish a proceedings covering the presentations and the recommended areas for joint US-Egypt research projects. This proposal meets the INT objective of supporting joint workshops that are likely to increase collaboration in areas of mutual interest.
