Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Chemistry Research Centre—Vila Real (CQ-VR) of the University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD, Vila Real, Portugal) intend to launch a biennial international conference that contributes to the establishment and strengthening of interactions between chemists and scientists of other fields with common interests. Participants from chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, physics, and other related areas, from both academia and industry, are expected to attend. The first related Special Issue will be devoted to the interplay between new molecules, new molecular assemblies, and health sciences.

The meeting is organized around four main topics:

  • Molecules4: Drug Delivery
  • Molecules4: Healthy Food
  • Molecules4: Sensing and Diagnostic
  • Molecules4: Therapeutics

Molecules4Life will be held at the campus of UTAD on the 20–22 of September 2023. This Special Issue is open not only to participants of the Molecules4Life: First International Meeting—all researchers interested in the field of “Molecules” are welcome to contribute.
