Book Description
At present, according to UNESCO, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.

Book Description
Biological sex and gender have a tremendous impact on the efficacy and safety of pharmacological interventions in virtually every disease state. This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview on how sex-specific information is guiding the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting men and women, as well as of disease states that disproportionally affects women. Experts in various fields discuss both preclinical and clinical research that is contributing to a better understanding of the impact of sex in the presentation, etiology, treatment, and disease outcomes. Also discussed are the challenges encountered in implementing this growing body of knowledge into practice, as well as possible avenues to recognize and reduce health disparities between men and women so that therapeutic interventions are tailored and improved.

Book Description
This Research Topic will honor Prof. M. Iqbal Choudhary for his pioneering contribution in the field of Bioorganic, Synthetic, and Natural Product Chemistry. Prof. M. Iqbal Choudhary is Director and Professor of Bioorganic and Natural Product Chemistry at the International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences (H. E. J. Research Institute of Chemistry and Dr. Panjwani Center for Molecular Medicine and Drug Research), Pakistan and Coordinator General COMSTECH. Since 1990, Prof. Choudhary has been among the world leaders in the field of natural product chemistry, and has made pioneering contributions in the discovery of novel natural products. Prof. Choudhary has 1,212 publications (cumulative impact of > 2500) with 33,550 citations (h index 76) in the fields of organic and bioorganic chemistry. He also published 94 patents (64 US Patents), 90 books and 40 chapters in books, published by major U.S. and European presses. He discovered many potent anti-epileptic and anti-leishmanial compounds from indigenous medicinal plants that are under clinical trials. His contributions to reverse bacterial resistance to antibiotics represent seminal contributions in this important field. He has trained hundreds of young researchers, especially women, from across the Afro-Asian region in natural product chemistry and established several research centers in Pakistan, and helped to setup research units in Africa, and South and Central Asia. His scientific contributions have been recognized by prestigious national and international awards and honors, and fellowships of several academies of science.

Book Description
This book introduces “network pharmacology” as an emerging frontier subject of systematic drug research in the era of artificial intelligence and big data. Network Pharmacology is an original subject of fusion system biology, bioinformatics, network science and other related disciplines. It emphasizes on starting from the overall perspective of the system level and biological networks, the analysis of the laws of molecular association between drugs and their treatment objects, reveals the systematic pharmacological mechanisms of drugs, and guides the research and development of new drugs and clinical diagnosis and treatment. After it was proposed, network pharmacology has been paid attention by researchers, and it has been rapidly developed and widely used. In order to systematically reveal the biological basis of diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine, we proposed a new concept of "network target" for the first time, which has become the core theory of "network pharmacology". The core principle of a network target is to construct a biological network that can be used to decipher complex diseases. The network is then used as the therapeutic target, to which multicomponent remedies are applied. This book mainly includes four parts: 1) The concept and theory of network pharmacology; 2) Common analysis methods, databases and software in network pharmacological research; 3) Typical cases of traditional Chinese medicine modernization and modern drug research based on network pharmacology; 4) Network pharmacology practice process based on drugs and diseases.

Book Description
The increasing incidence of disease, especially in developed and developing countries, demands the evaluation of potential unexplored pharmaceutic resources and releases. The pharmaceutical industry has historically provided innovative therapeutic solutions to different medical conditions, through biological and biosimilar medicines with pharmaceutical potential, which may include monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, growth factors hormones, enzymes, vaccines, or blood products. However, due to pharmaceutical spending accounts for a large share of health spending worldwide, and the increasing demand for chemical diversity in pharmaceutical screening programs, and their benefits in terms of increasing life expectancy and improving quality of life, identifying novel therapeutic drug technology is an exciting approach.
