About this Research Topic
Despite various efforts have been made to address equal opportunities, women are still largely underrepresented in many fields across the globe. This has led to gender equality being listed as one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Studies have shown that STEM research and development comprise of slightly less than a third of women. Their contributions are often overlooked, and they tend to experience isolation caused by lack of access to women peers, role models, and mentors; not to mention that they are often paid less than their male co-workers. Study has shown that the rate of leaving STEM careers is disproportionately higher among women than men, especially working parents.
This topic aims to celebrate the excellent contributions of women scientists in the field of nanomedicine. It will serve as a platform to feature the important work done by women researchers, to highlight their dedication and contribution in the field of nanomedicine. Publication under this topic would help them to gain recognition to advance their work and career. It is hoped that this collection of work would inspire and motivate fellow women scientists in this field, to continue to strive for better accomplishments in nanomedicine research.
We welcome submissions of work related to nanomedicine and nanoformulations. All original research and review articles are invited. The following subtopics are included, but are not limited to:
• The design and optimization of nanoformulations for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes
• Physicochemical and biological characterization of the nanoformulations / nanomedicine
• Evaluation of the performance of the nanoformulations in in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo studies
• Biodistribution studies of nanomedicine
• Safety and toxicology studies of nanomedicine
We strongly encourage the submission of manuscripts where the lead and/or corresponding author is female. However, we will welcome the submission of any article within the scope above irrespective of gender.
