About this Research Topic
This Research Topic seeks to showcase the work of the next generation of research leaders in drug delivery, interpreted in the broadest sense. Our intention is to bring together a collection of articles spanning the breadth of the field and exploring a wide range of future research directions. Contributions could be theoretical or computational, or present experimental data from any field of drug delivery. For instance, we would welcome articles employing computational methods to understand drug stability or to design new formulations. Similarly, experimental studies can be focused on the development of new drug delivery systems for any type of active ingredient (e.g. small molecules, peptides, proteins, extracellular vesicles, cells) and could use any contemporary technology (e.g. spray-drying, 3D printing, emulsion approaches). Studies exploring new analytical approaches to understand formulation properties and performance would also fall within the scope of this project.
Early career researchers whose work is featured in the collection will be those recognized for their success and potential to influence future directions, and are within 10 years of completing their PhD, or within 5 years of their first independent position. In exceptional cases, current PhD candidates will be considered. Early career researchers featured in the collection will be selected by the editorial team following nominations by Frontiers readers, members of the broader community, or by the editorial team itself. If you would like your work to be considered for this collection, please submit your manuscript summary (<200 words) and CV directly to the editorial office.
Original research, review, mini-review, and perspective pieces are all welcomed. Accepted articles will be available in this collection as soon as they are published.
