I am in the process of preparing an edited book entitling "Natural products in drug discovery: Benefits, Challenges and Opportunities". The book will be published by Apple Academic Press, USA (Co publishing with CRC Press Taylor & Francis Group). The aim of preparing this edited book is to bring together the latest findings on the said subject by a galaxy of eminent, experienced scientists and active researchers who can present the latest developments in the field. As you are an expert in this subject area, I am approaching you with the request to contribute a chapter. Please send your consent along with the title of the chapter as early as possible in reply by email at [email protected].
