Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chemical biology stands as a dynamic hub where the frontiers of chemistry and biology converge to unveil novel insights and innovations. Across the diverse landscapes of Asia, researchers passionately explore the intricate dance between molecules and living systems.
Asian scholars and researchers are actively engaged in unraveling the intricacies of biological systems from a chemical perspective, fostering a rich tapestry of knowledge. The region's contribution extends from elucidating molecular mechanisms to designing novel compounds with therapeutic potentials.
The key areas of focus encompass drug discovery, bioorganic chemistry, enzymology, synthetic biology, and the development of cutting-edge analytical tools. Researchers in Asia are at the forefront of exploring chemical solutions in order to address pressing global challenges, making substantial strides in both fundamental understanding and practical applications.
The Special Issue facilitates international partnerships, enabling the exchange of ideas and methodologies. This initiative not only enhances the scientific landscape but also nurtures a diverse community of scientists dedicated to pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
We look forward to your submissions.
