Abstract
Pharmacognosy, the study of plants or other natural sources as a possible source of drugs, has been over the years a declining subject of the pharmacy curriculum in many universities worldwide. On the other hand, over the past three decades, there is an increasing global use of herbal medicinal products and supplements. In order to emphasize the importance of the subject Pharmacognosy, this talk will cover examples illustrating how the wide scope and concepts of Pharmacognosy can be applied in herbal medicines research and natural products drug development. Furthermore, the relatively new concept of exploring the beneficial efficacies of the combined use of herbal medicines and conven-tional drugs, including treatment efficacy augmentation and toxicity reduction, will also be presented.

The seminar will be conducted via Zoom
