Mendoza of the College of Pharmacy attended the 3-days i2CANProtect II – 2^nd Iloilo International Conference on /advanced Natural Products Technologies and AuRIns-USA Bilateral Conference at the University of San Agustin. This is the first activity of the university under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) forged with the University of San Agustin.

Another activity made was the visit to the research institute and the Med Tech and Pharmacy laboratories of the USA which was led by Dr. Doralyn Dalisay, a faculty and member of the C2B2.

The topics discussed focused on the biology, chemistry and pharmacology of natural products; marine and terrestrial sources; omics technologies such as the gene, protein and metabolome; industrial scale ups and enabling technologies in instrumentation and assays.

On the final note, Dr. Dalisay suggested that the USA together with its partners UPHSDLP and De la Salle Dasmariñas will form a consortium to pave way for more faculty and student engagement in research.  A concept paper will be formulated as regard to the consortium which will be held at the end of school year 2023-2024.  It will be a research forum for both faculty and students which will tentatively be held at the De la Salle University in Cavite.
