CSBC Goes MDPI Special Issues!

We are happy to launch two Special Issues related to the CSBC Conference. The Special Issues are entitled “Medicinal Chemistry in Biological Challenges” and “Chemosensors in Biological Challenges” and are published by Pharmaceuticals (IF 5.863) and Chemosensors (IF 3.398), respectively. Both journals are Open Access and published by MDPI. The special issues cover the same scientific areas as our Conference. All the participants are invited to publish in these Special Issues, but the publishing is not limited to participants.
