Featured Keynote Speaker: Professor Jan Tytgat

The International Congress on Natural Products, Botanicals & Herbal Drug Discovery (NP Discovery 2027) proudly welcomes Professor Jan Tytgat from the University of Leuven, Belgium, as a featured keynote speaker at this premier international congress.

Professor Tytgat is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to pharmacology, toxinology, peptide therapeutics, and natural product research. His keynote will provide valuable scientific insights into how traditional medicinal plants continue to inspire innovative therapies for complex chronic diseases.

Presentation Title

From Historically Used Plants to Novel Peptides for the Treatment of Type-2 Diabetes and Alzheimer's Disease

This keynote presentation will examine the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants, plant-derived bioactive compounds, and novel peptide therapies for managing Type-2 Diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Professor Tytgat will discuss phytochemicals such as curcumin, ginsenosides, EGCG, cinnamon compounds, and walnut-derived peptides, alongside emerging peptide therapeutics including GLP-1 receptor agonists and other innovative drug candidates.

The session will also highlight the growing scientific evidence connecting diabetes with neurodegenerative disorders and explore how translational research is accelerating the development of safer, more effective natural product-based therapeutics.
