Dr. Marco Carlotti was appointed Executive Editor of ‘Translational Chemistry: An Interface Journal’, a brand new journal (ISBN - 978-989-35197-4-5) publishing original research articles, technical notes, and critical reviews related to the topic of translational chemistry after blind peer-review. Translational chemistry refers to the application of fundamental chemical research to real-world problems, often bridging the gap between laboratory discoveries and practical applications in areas like medicine, biology, materials science, arts, engineering, pharmaceutics, and environmental science. It emphasizes taking insights gained from basic chemistry and molecules and translating them into innovations, such as new drugs, new sustainable materials, or processes that can be used in technology, hospitals, and industry. This approach often involves collaboration across disciplines, integrating knowledge from chemistry, biology, engineering, and other scientific fields to drive progress and address complex challenges.
