Dear Colleagues, Researchers, and Friends,

On behalf of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the Natural Products Section, it is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the 6th IUPHAR World Conference on Natural Products and Traditional Medicine, scheduled to take place in Dakar, Senegal, from 26th to 28th November 2025.

This conference marks a significant milestone as it takes place on the African continent - a region renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity and rich natural resources. Africa’s vast ecosystems harbor an unparalleled diversity of plants, fungi, and other natural products that have been used for centuries in traditional medicine. The continent is also home to a vibrant community of researchers dedicated to exploring these natural treasures, unlocking their potential for modern pharmacology and healthcare.

Dakar provides an ideal setting for this global gathering, offering a unique opportunity to showcase Africa’s rich natural heritage while fostering international collaboration. The congress will serve as a platform for scientists, clinicians, industry leaders, and policymakers to exchange knowledge, forge new partnerships, and promote innovative research in natural products and traditional medicine.

Attending this conference will not only enhance your scientific visibility but also expand your professional network across continents. It is an excellent occasion to highlight Africa’s contributions to global health sciences and to explore new avenues for research and development rooted in traditional knowledge systems.

We look forward to welcoming you to Dakar - an inspiring city at the crossroads of tradition and innovation - and to a fruitful exchange of ideas that will advance our shared mission of improving health through natural products.

With warm regards,
