title: New areas of plant-made pharmaceuticals.
abstract: On October 15 2010 the meeting 'Recombinant Pharmaceutical Manufacturing from Plants - The Future of Molecular Farming' hosted by EuroScicon was held at BioPark Hertfordshire, Welwyn Garden city, UK. The scientific program of this very eventful meeting was wide ranging and covered diverse aspects of biopharming. The highlights presented included: safety issues in biopharming; coexpression of multiple proteins; steps towards vaccine generation; and engineering of secondary metabolites and medicinal plants. This article summarizes the stimulating scientific presentations and fruitful panel discussions that subsequently arose during and after this event.
