ISCMNP at a Glance The main objective of summer course is to introduce marine natural product

chemistry, a cutting-edge of organic chemistry, by studying Indonesian biodiversity and

their chemistry. Key topics are consisted of biodiversity of Indo-Pacific marine

organisms, isolation and structure elucidation of marine natural products,

biosynthesis of marine natural products, marine natural products synthesis and

medicinal chemistry, marine chemical ecology, marine natural products chemical

biology and biotechnology, mode of action and drug development of marine

natural products.

The summer course provides high caliber mentors in the field. A combination of

lectures, seminars, field, and laboratory works as well as interactive sessions will provide

an immersive and challenging experience research. Students and researchers in the

fields of Chemistry, Biology, Microbiology, Pharmacy, Biotechnology, Marine Science

and related fields will have the opportunity to participate in the summer school and attend

lectures covering topics related to the entire workflow of marine natural products

research, current challenges and opportunities associated with natural products. As the

scientific background of participants is expected to differ widely, the intensive summer

school will offer lectures ranging from fundamental knowledge to advanced level.

Course Description International Summer Course on Marine Natural Products with 2 credit is designed

for international/national upper undergraduate and graduate students who are engaged

in life science and related fields. The program provides laboratory and field works as well

as teaching by invited Professors/Experts. This course has prerequisite general courses

such as basic chemistry and biology. The learning outcome of this course is to study

marine natural product chemistry in the perspective of chemistry and biology especially

molecular structure determination of marine natural products. Furthermore, the activities

will give students/participants to apply their knowledge and devise solutions giving an

understanding of Indonesian or worldwide marine biodiversity through upgrading the skill

of participants. This can be done by identification of marine organisms through checking

their morphology, isolation of major organic molecules, identification of functional

group/substructure using spectroscopy UV, IR, chemical transformation (simple staining

reaction in chromatography). Moreover, participants can study a comprehensive

structure elucidation of simple to complex organic molecules by given UV, IR, NMR, MS,

X-ray, ECD, chemical transformation, and optical rotation data. In addition, the upgrading

knowledge and communication skill will be through a series of tests, oral and poster as

well as assignments. The course is given in English.
