International Society for Ethnopharmacology
The ISE mourns the death of our great colleague and friend Prof. Nina Etkin from the University of Hawai’i, who died on 27.01.09. We all know her as an excellent and very dedicated scientist, who made crucial contributions to the field of ethnopharmacology and critical scholarship. She is survived by her partner Paul Ross. In the next months we will honour Nina and her work in a variety of ways.

Welcome to the website of the International Society for Ethnopharmacology. We are a small, collaborative, interdisciplinary group of scientists – anthropologists, pharmacists, pharmacologists, ethnobotanists, phytochemists, and others – all fascinated by the study of the global use of medicines. We are particularly concerned about understanding the medicinal uses of plants in traditional societies. We seek to understand the cultural and the pharmacological dimensions of human medicinal plant use everywhere. We welcome you to our site, and welcome you to join with us in this exciting study. At this site, you can learn about membership in the society, the society journal, our newsletter and conferences.
