Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Drug discovery and development is multifaceted, allowing researchers to expand their quiver of therapeutic modalities to treat and manage serious ailments. Concurrently, the systems and approaches that can be used to deliver medicine are advancing at an unprecedented rate; thus, becoming familiar with the advances in drug delivery has important implications for anyone involved in health care and related sectors.
This Special Issue offers contributors the opportunity to publish their research on various drug modalities, including small compounds, protein and nucleic acid systems, cell therapies, etc., enabling both the cognizant and non-cognizant reader to be navigated to the foundational and state-of-the-art methodologies in developing novel therapeutics, including personalized drugs.
