Natural Resources And Life Sciences 2022

Molecular biology has given a great impact in life science investigation. The advances in molecular biology over the last several decades have boosted research and product development in many disciplines of life science, including Biotechnolgy and Pharmacy. This advances comprise: (1) the progression of more sophisticated techniques in molecular biology with a broad, interdisciplinary applications; (2) the expanding flow of information of technical novelties and scientific discoveries across scientific community; and (3) the development of more sophisticated software and continuously updated databases. This has changed the rationale and approach of experimentations giving rise to revolutionizing discoveries in many fields od science. It has become evident that the deregulation of molecular processes in body is associated with, and in certain circumstances is the direct cause of, a wide range of pathological conditions. It is necessary to mention the biomedical relevance of molecular biology-related investigations for drug discovery and the development of a more personalized medicine. Given the rapidly changing and continuously evolving nature of the molecular biology field, we can anticipate that the revolutionary impact of molecular biology in life sciences is only at the beginning and is far from being finished.

To highlight the rapidly growing research and product development in the field of Biotechnolgy and Pharmacy, the 4th International Conference on Natural Resources and Life Sciences (NRLS)” themed Biotechnology- and pharmacy-driven research and product development is presented. Following the successful program of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd NRLS, we intend to hold the next two-day conference along with a one-day optional workshop in 4th NRLS, as a scientific forum for biotechnology and pharmacy researchers and product developers to discuss the recent advances in the fields and their application. It is a great pleasure to invite you to the forthcoming 4th NRLS Conference, which will be held virtually, on August 24th-25th 2022, and the following onsite workshop on August 26th, 2022.

CARICATURE OF A SPEAKER

The 4th International Conference on Natural Resources and Life Sciences (NRLS) 2022 marks a significant continuation of the scholarly dialogue initiated by its predecessor, NRLS 2016. Organized by the esteemed Faculty of Biotechnology and Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Surabaya, Indonesia, this conference epitomizes the essence of “Multidisciplinary Science for Better Achievement,” echoing the theme of the inaugural NRLS. In the ever-evolving landscape of life sciences, molecular biology stands as a transformative force, leaving an indelible impact on research and product development. As we navigate the intricate realms of Biotechnology and Pharmacy, the 4th NRLS emerges as a beacon, providing a conducive platform for the exchange of valuable insights among experts and enthusiasts alike. The advancements in molecular biology, symbolized by sophisticated techniques and a burgeoning flow of interdisciplinary knowledge, have paved the way for revolutionary discoveries. With a theme centered around “Biotechnology- and Pharmacy-driven Research and Product Development”, the 4th NRLS seeks to delve into the heart of these advancements, fostering an environment where over 100 researchers from diverse countries and regions can converge, such as Indonesia, Thailand, Poland, Germany, England, and South Korea. From over 49 abstracts and presentations, 21 papers are selected to be published in Advances in Biological Sciences Research (ASBR), which belong to Atlantis Press, representing the themes of 2022, that is, food biotechnology, plant biotechnology, healthcare biotechnology, pharmaceutical technology, clinical & community pharmacy and pharmacology & toxicology. All 21 manuscripts in Advances in Biological Sciences Research have been reviewed by the experts from Friedrich-Schiller University, University of Groningen, Chulalongkorn University, Chalmers University of Technology, the Bridge Biofoundry, Arontier, and University of Surabaya, Indonesia. The reviewing process involves experts having professional editing background from eight countries (Indonesia, Thailand, England, Panama, Germany, Poland, Netherlands, and South Korea). This conference, scheduled for a virtual rendezvous on August 24–25, 2022, followed by an onsite workshop on August 26, 2022, embodies the spirit of collaboration and exploration. Like its predecessor, NRLS 2022 aims to publish selected papers, symbolizing the culmination of rigorous reviews conducted by experts from renowned institutions globally. This edition, selected papers are published in Advances in Biological Sciences Research (Atlantis Press).
