Book Title: New Horizons in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery
Aims and Scope
New Horizons in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments, emerging concepts, innovative technologies, and future perspectives in pharmacology and drug discovery. The book focuses on advances ranging from understanding molecular mechanisms of drug action and therapeutic targets to the identification, optimization, evaluation, and development of new drug candidates.
The book covers experimental and clinical pharmacology, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, drug–receptor interactions, medicinal chemistry, molecular modeling, computer-aided drug design, artificial intelligence and machine learning in drug discovery, target identification and validation, natural products, biologics and advanced therapeutics, drug metabolism, pharmacogenomics, toxicology, drug delivery, drug repurposing, precision medicine, translational pharmacology, and clinical drug development. It also addresses emerging therapeutic approaches for major diseases and interdisciplinary applications of biotechnology, molecular biology, computational science, and pharmaceutical sciences in modern drug research.
The book welcomes research chapters, review chapters, methodological contributions, case studies, and perspectives that present significant scientific findings, innovative approaches, and emerging challenges in pharmacology and drug discovery. It seeks to highlight current trends and future opportunities for translating pharmacological research and drug discovery innovations into safer, more effective, and clinically relevant therapeutic interventions.
