About this Research Topic
We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences – Structural Biology 'In Celebration of Women in Science: Molecular Recognition 2022' article collection.
At present, 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.
Therefore, Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Molecular Recognition.
The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Molecular Recognition research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
Please note: to be considered for this collection, at least one of the authors or co-authors should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
