Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is related to the conference “Pharmaceuticals 2024—Recent Advances in Pharmaceutical Sciences Towards a Healthy Life”, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain, 27–29 November 2024.

Covering the newest technologies and the research areas of medicinal chemistry, natural products, organic synthesis, radiopharmaceuticals, pharmacology, toxicology, and biomolecular and glycosciences, among others, the meeting will bring experts together to present their latest findings on relevant topics such as combating infection, inflammation, pain, and neurodegeneration.

In this meeting, we encourage participation from all areas of pharmaceutical research to highlight recent advances in the field of applied chemistry in the search for novel solutions to global pharmaceutical challenges. This conference will provide the opportunity to finally meet in person and bring together younger researchers, experts, and industry to plan science and technology for the future. A roundtable will be organized to start and facilitate further discussions.

Conference participants, as well as all researchers working in the field, are invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special Issue of Pharmaceuticals.
