Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions of original research, reviews, short communications, and perspectives on biophysics, medicinal chemistry, novel therapeutic agents, drug delivery systems, and computer-aided drug design (CADD) for our special issue. This issue also aims to highlight the latest advancements and innovative research driving the convergence of these fields, covering topics such as structural and functional studies of biomolecules, e.g., the identification of new proteins or protein targets, and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) & machine learning (ML) into the design and optimization of therapeutic agents, innovative drug delivery systems, and structure-activity relationships. We seek to disseminate cutting-edge research, promote interdisciplinary collaborations, and showcase practical applications in biomedical research, with a particular emphasis on advancing drug discovery and development. By showcasing expertise from diverse fields such as biophysics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and computational biology, we aim to foster innovation and facilitate the translation of scientific discoveries into effective therapeutic strategies. Our goal is to highlight studies that not only contribute to the fundamental understanding of biological processes but also offer tangible solutions to current challenges in medicine. Manuscripts should be submitted through the online system per journal guidelines. Submission should contains validation studies. We look forward to your pioneering contributions.
Dr. Whelton Miller

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceuticals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
