Navigating Endophytic Research for Next-Generation Therapeutics (Developments in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology)

By Vagish Dwibedi PhD, Neha Kapoor PhD, Lokesh Gambhir PhD, Swapnil Kajale PhD Navigating Endophytic Research for Next-Generation Therapeutics explores the evolving field of endophytic fungal research and applications in combating diseases, addressing environmental challenges, and in shaping the future of therapeutics. The book starts off with a discussion on the biodiversity and biogeography of endophytic fungal communities and describes the bioprospecting of endophytes for drug discovery. In addition, it covers the therapeutic application of endophytic fungi to treat and manage specific diseases and investigates the innovative use of technologies such as genome editing, genetic engineering for enhanced bioactivity, multi-omics-based exploration, and the use of big data and machine learning in endophytic drug discovery.Featuring contributions from experts across fields like mycology, pharmacology, biotechnology, and environment science, this comprehensive, practical, and insightful resource guides those engaged in endophytic fungal research and its transformative potential in next-generation therapeutics. Explores diverse research techniques for isolating, culturing, and characterizing endophytic fungi Demonstrates how endophytic fungi have been successfully utilized in drug discovery and therapeutic applications Recognizes the importance of responsible research practices and ethical considerations in bioprospecting and drug development Product Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Academic Press; 1st edition (April 9, 2025) Language ‏ : ‎ English Paperback ‏ : ‎ 500 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0443314845 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0443314841
