Working Groups
Science standards are developed by specialized working groups that focus on specific areas of phytomedicine research and evaluation.
Medicinal Properties Working Group
ActiveDeveloping standards for evaluating and documenting pharmacological activity, therapeutic indications, safety profiles, and traditional use documentation of medicinal plants and their preparations.
Test Methods Working Group
ActiveEstablishing standardized methodologies for authentication, purity testing, potency assurance, contaminant screening, and stability testing of phytomedicine products.
Clinical Application Working Group
ActiveDeveloping evidence-based protocols for therapeutic indications, dosing regimens, treatment duration, contraindications, and drug-herb interactions to guide safe and effective clinical use.
Formulation Working Group
ActiveCreating standards for multi-herb combinations, excipient compatibility, bioavailability enhancement, and synergistic interactions to optimize phytomedicine formulations.
Get Involved
SIPM members can participate in working groups to contribute to standards development. If you have expertise in pharmacology, analytical chemistry, clinical research, or formulation science for phytomedicine, we invite you to join our working groups.
