Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The 2021 Venoms to Drugs meeting will be held at the Daydream Island Resort, Queensland, 15–19 March, 2021. The conference will focus on venom peptides from cone snails, scorpions, spiders, snakes, plants, wasps and other species that continue to provide an immense reservoir of potent bioactive peptides targeting specific enzymes, ion channels, GPCRs and a wide range of receptors. As such, they represent major sources of lead compounds for both the development of pharmacological tools and novel drugs. This Special Issue aims to bring together active scholars and researchers to present their current scholarly work in venoms to drugs.
