High-Value Products from Seaweeds: Medical, Cosmetic, and Biotechnological Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The production of seaweeds has markedly increased in the last few decades, with much of this being driven by commodity production in Asia for phycocolloids and human food. While there is increasing interest in Western countries in developing large-scale seaweed production, this is so far being hampered by high labor and transport costs, so there is increasing commercial interest in the development of high-value products from seaweeds, particularly for medical, cosmetic, and biotechnological applications. This commercial interest is mirrored in the research space, which is why Marine Drugs is launching a Special Issues entitled “High-Value Products from Seaweeds: Medical, Cosmetic, and Biotechnological Applications”.

As Guest Editor, I am inviting scientists to submit their latest research findings and review articles in this area in the form of high-quality manuscripts.
