This Research Topic aims to collect selected Pharmacology-focused contributions to the MONASH INITIATE 2021, The Inaugural Monash International Health Science and Technology Conference with the theme “Inspiring Innovation via Multidisciplinary Collaboration”, held in the School of Pharmacy of the Monash University Malaysia on June 16th-17th, 2021.

The symposium will provide young scientists a venue to expand their knowledge of recent advances in the field, as well as discuss and receive feedback on their research. The meeting is also designed to foster interactions and constructive networking with peers and established scientists.

The selected articles will highlight recent advances in the knowledge of Ethnopharmacology, and Experimental Pharmacology and Drug Discovery. Participants of the conference are welcome to submit their work which could be Original Research, Review, Mini review, or other type of articles. We welcome the following subtopics:

Ethnopharmacology
• Experimental pharmacology and pharmacognosy of medicinal plants.
• Isolation and characterization of key metabolites of medicinal plants.
• Clinical observations and trials.

Experimental Pharmacology and Drug Discovery
• Advances and new insights into the therapeutic applications of bioactive compounds.
• Metabolomic and lipidomic approaches in elucidation of mechanistic effect.
• Drug-biomolecule(s) interaction.

Pharmacology of Anti-Cancer Drugs
• Inventive drug design and prove of concept.
• Drugs targeting tumor cells, but also the various components of the tumor microenvironment.
• Innovative drug delivery concept and personalized medicine.

Note to the authors:

Upon submission, authors will need to select the Section of the Journal they wish to submit to, and the studies need to adhere to the scope of the section as well as quality guidelines, if applicable. Please see below.

- Ethnopharmacology – Studies submitted must comply with the “Four Pillars of Best Practice in Ethnopharmacology” (you can freely download the full version here) and fit in the scope of the section (see here).

- Experimental Pharmacology and Drug Discovery – Studies submitted must fit in the scope of the section (see here).

- Pharmacology of Anti-Cancer Drugs – Studies submitted must fit in the scope of the section (see here).
