About the Conference - HIMFLORA CTR 2026
The Himalayan region is rich in medicinal plant biodiversity with great potential for new drug discovery and affordable healthcare. However, many plants remain scientifically underexplored. This conference aims to promote evidence-based development of Himalayan phyto-pharmaceuticals by integrating traditional knowledge with modern pharmaceutical sciences. It will cover areas such as pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, pharmacology, biotechnology, and advanced in-silico methods like molecular docking, QSAR, and AI-driven drug design, while also addressing sustainability, standardization, and industry–academia collaboration for global healthcare advancement.
