Abdur Rauf, PhD, is Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, University of Swabi, Anbar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. His research work focuses on phytochemistry and pharmacology, dealing particularly with bio-guided isolation of new compounds for drug discovery. His research interests include isolation and structure elucidation of bioactive compounds using several innovative techniques followed by in vitro and in vivo biological screening. Dr. Rauf is the author and coauthor of more than 280 research papers published in peer-reviewed journals, with 5392 citations as reported by Google Scholar. He has also written 10 book chapters in international books and holds two national and two international patents for discovery of novel antidiabetic drugs. Furthermore, he is an associate editor/editorial board member of Frontiers in Pharmacology, Biocell, Green Processing and Synthesis, and Medicinal Chemistry, among others. He is also a fellow of the American Chemical Society and of the Laboratory of Biological Control and Antimicrobial Resistance of Orel State University, Russia. He has supervised two PhD and four MPhil students. Dr. Rauf has won a Young Scientist Award from the Directorate of Science and Technology, KP, Pakistan (2018), and the Research Productivity Award (2016-17) from the Pakistan Science Foundation. He has also won eight national and four international projects. The major goals of Dr. Rauf's research include the discovery of eco-friendly and cost-effective protocols for the production of nanoparticles-based new drugs with bio-medicinal interest. He completed his PhD at the Institute of Chemical Sciences, University of Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2015. Prabhakar Semwal, PhD, is currently working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Life Sciences, Graphic Era (deemed to be University), Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India.
