3- Advanced analytical methods and chemo- and bioinformatics for efficient natural product discovery and development
4- AI-driven natural product research: potential, pitfalls, and future perspectives
5- Chemical ecology and holobiont interactions
6- Pharmacology and safety of herbal medicines
7- Functional foods, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals
8- Pharmacological and biological activities of natural products: drug discovery (clinical, in vivo, in vitro, and in silico approaches)
9- Green chemistry, biotechnology, and bio-inspired approaches for sustainable production processes: innovations for high-value products
10- Herbal medicinal products and quality control
11- One Health and veterinary phytomedicine
