Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to inform you that our previous project on biotechnology and drug development is progressing well, and I wanted to thank you all for your contributions to its success. Your expertise and insights have been invaluable, and I am grateful for your ongoing support.

With that in mind, I am now excited to announce that I am planning another project on a similar topic, and I would like to invite you to participate once again. This project will focus on the latest developments in biotechnology and their applications in drug discovery and development.

I believe that our collective expertise and diverse perspectives will be critical to the success of this project, and I am looking forward to working with you all again.

I am excited to announce that I am planning to edit a new article collection about natural products and biotechnology. The goal of this collection is to bring together cutting-edge research on the use of natural products in biotechnology, including applications in drug discovery, agriculture, and environmental science.

I am currently seeking to form an editor team and I would like to invite you to participate. The team will consist of 3-5 co-editors, and we aim to have a geographically diverse range of institutions.

To be considered for this role, all Topic Editors must have a PhD and at least 3 years of post-doctoral experience, as well as some relevant editorial experience. The majority of the team must also be at Associate Professor level or above.

In addition, I am writing to let you know that we are actively seeking authors for this collection, and we would be honored to consider your work for inclusion.

Please note that there is a publication charge associated with this collection, as our journal is an open access publication. However, we also understand that funding can be a major barrier for many researchers, which is why we offer a fee waiver program. This program allows authors to apply for a discount of up to 100% on the publication fee, based on their individual financial circumstances.

We believe that every researcher should have the opportunity to share their work with the scientific community, regardless of their financial situation. Our fee waiver program is just one of the ways that we are working to make this a reality.

If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to this collection, please don't hesitate to reach out to me for more information. We would be delighted to consider your work for publication.

Best regards,

Dr. Israel Valencia Quiroz
