REQUEST FOR RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS
Introduction
I’m Dr. Emmanuel Kofi Kumatia. I hold a Ph.D. in Pharmacognosy. I am a Research Fellow and the Head of the Phytochemistry Department at Centre for Plant Medicine Research (Centre) at Mampong –Akwapim, Ghana; West Africa. l workrd as a phytochemist, pharmacologist and pharmacognocist at the Centre.
The Centre is a public institution and World Health Organization (WHO) collaborative Centre for Traditional Medicine Research. Apart from the Phytochemistry Department, the Centre also has other departments which include Pharmacology, Clinic with laboratory and Plant Development Department among others where I carry out most of my research activities.
My areas of expertise include but not limited to:
• Bioassay guided isolation and purification of chemical constituents from medicinal plants.
• Pharmacological assay evaluations using animal models.
• Research data analysis and interpretation.
Collaborations
I have isolated and purified some compounds from some medicinal plants used to treat various diseases. I shall evaluate some biological activities of the compounds and write joint publications with any collaborator.
I would welcome collaborations:
1. To run the NMR and other spectroscopic experiments on the compounds.
2. To Elucidate the structures of the compounds.
3. To have a post-doctoral fellowship which will involve being hosted by laboratory to learn how to operate NMR and structure elucidation of compounds.
4. I am also available for research collaborations in any disease area involving bioassay-guided isolation.
Research Grants
Currently, I have evaluated anti-malaria action of two medicinal plants (This is the first time anti-malaria action has been evaluated for these plants). One of the extracts demonstrated a higher anti-malaria action than quinine (i.v) injection.
I am seeking for funding to aid me:
1. To collect other plants and evaluate their antimalarial effects.
2. To evaluate the anti-malaria effects of the fractions of the most effective plants.
3. To buy materials and reagents to isolate the compounds in the plant responsible for the anti-malaria effect.
4. To elucidate the structure of the compounds that will be isolated
5. To test for the antimalarial activity of the isolated compounds.
6. To possibly patent the active compound(s).
7. To possibly develop the compound(s) into a conventional anti-malarial drug.

Dear Dr. Emmanuel Kumatia,
I am Sara Di Lonardo, an environmental biologist, permanent researcher at the Research Institute on Terrestrial Ecosystems of the Italian National Research Council (IRET-CNR). I currently work on various topics even related to plant stress and characterization.
I got curious about your activities. In my lab we have the possibility to characterize plant material with FTIR technique (DRIFT and PAS) and in some way predict some chemicals in plant material.
Do you think this could be of interest for a collaboration? What kind of plants have you characterized?
Thank you for your attention.
Best wishes,
Sara

Collaboration call by Prof. Michael Heinrich: Root of Althea officinalis (marsh-mallow) https://inpst.net/collaboration-call-root-of-althea-officinalis-marsh-mallow/
Hope all are doing well and active to serve the world through science.I am very happy with the activities and update information sharing through the INPST. As I am basically from India and my native place is just closely associated with natural resources which has high potential of medicinal plants and wild mushrooms.Even I have been also working on exploring the hidden potential of such resources. But in the mean time I need active collaboration for further work and complete exploitation of the resources with finding of new natural lead molecules for drug and other value-added product as well with in depth mechanism of bio activity study. Recently I have screened two wild edible mushrooms ( only found during rainy seasons in the natural habitat) have in vitro anti-diabetic activities and these mushrooms are not explored in terms of natural products so far.Even there are many wild mushrooms which should need vigorous screening for different bio-activities which could give a clear idea for nutraceutical development.In the mean time I want to collaborate with natural product researchers who can explore these wild mushrooms.I could send samples to them and they can conduct work for the benefits for human health with some novel findings which can be reflected as scientific publication as well patents. Moreover, active collaboration can be possible for bio-actives from medicinal plants. Apart from that I am also interested to involve in these projects as Post doctoral fellow with fellowship to any of the lab if there is any vacancy within INPST research collaboration laboratories.
Thanks in Advance

Dear Colleagues,
it’s my pleasure to share with You our Plants Journal Special Issue: “Weaponizing Plants: Biocontrol and Biosecurity in Plant Protection”.
Climate change, plants and human health are closely linked, since the environment, plant health and food safety are parts of the same system. In fact, crop yield and plant products quality are, directly or indirectly, affected by climate alterations. Adverse climatic conditions often promote the occurrence of different abiotic stresses, which can have the effect of reducing or enhancing susceptibility to biotic stresses (pests or pathogens). The agricultural productivity challenges, posed by the climate change, can be overcome by innovation systems and farming practice; on the other hand, reducing the impact of noxious substances and controlling the stress conditions on plants has become imperative. Innovative bioprotection strategies, as well as the biological control of crop pests, is the new frontier for the sustainable future of plant health, demanding emerging technologies which facilitate the understanding and exploitation of the mechanisms involved. This Special Issue aims to collect the most updated insights and experimental developments intended to increase plants’ health and biosecurity.
We kindly ask, if interested, to share within Your affiliated and Colleagues!

Message by Prof. Nadia Hamdy:
Dear Colleagues and Professors
I am delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Oncology ‘Women in HPB Tumors” series of article collections, Women in HPB Tumors: 2021 Research Topic.
This research topic I do lead as a topic editor.
https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/22467/women-in-hpb-tumors-2021
Submission is open now for abstracts, Manuscript submission deadline is Novermber 21st, 2021.
Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a female researcher.
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Frontiers in Oncology is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Oncology.
The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Oncology research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
Keywords: women in oncology, hpb tumors, hcc, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma.
Good Luck

Greeting to every one. Hope all are doing very well .I am very happy with the activities and update information sharing through the INPST regularly. I am a young Doctor (PhD) from Cameroon. The focal aim of my Ph.D. work was based on anticancer activity of a plant species (Imperata cylindrica) and its phytocomponents on various cancer cell lines. we examined phytochemical constituents of Imperata cylindrica (medicinal plant) extract using LC-MS technique. The plant extract was purified for isolation of its active ingredients. The crude extract and the isolated compounds were assessed in vitro for their antiproliferative activity, their capacity to induce apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest in cancer cells. Furthermore, we assessed the capacity of the plant extract to inhibit cervical cancer metastasis through PI3K/Akt/snail signaling pathway inhibition and the blockage of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) (in-vitro study). My research work was also focused on the antitumor activity of plant extract in tumor model of mice (in-vivo study). Please I am currently for postdoctoral position, will appreciate if anyone could help me. Thanks

REQUEST FOR COLLABORATIONS (Invitation for Book Chapter submission)
============================================================
Dear INPST Colleagues,
Greetings!!
Hope this email finds you well and in a healthy mood!
With great pleasure, we wish to inform your good self that we are in the process of editing the second volume entitled “Microbial Alchemy for sustainable Eco-enterprising” after the great success of our past volumes “Microbial Syntrophy mediated eco-enterprising” and” Biogenic Sustainable Nanotechnology: Trends and Progress, of Elsevier.
We aim to bring together a galaxy of eminent, experienced scientists and active researchers to present the latest developments in the area of the subject. The world’s most creative natural alchemic compound producer is microorganisms. They have a vast and dynamic relationship with the habitat and are adapted specifically in cosmopolite niches by the virtue of the existence of plenty of metabolites. Because “science tries to explain the phenomenological world” and as an active science artist team, we are trying to create a phenomenon to push scientific autopsy in the field of microbial alchemy for sustainable human resource developments.
Hence, we are proposing a volume entitled “Microbial Alchemy for sustainable Eco-enterprising” and invited researchers for their opinion as a book chapter that will explore the microbial chemical properties, effects on the nature integrity, and mediated or endowed product for agriculture, clinical and industrial application. We encourage submissions that examine this subject using either direct biogenesis or microbial influenced genesis of materials. We also encourage chemists and biochemists to display the specific metabolites, pathways, enzymes, drugs, or microbial genes and especially on the analysis of the chemistry produced by microbes that influence the eco-enterprising system.
Interestingly, we are well aware of your contribution to science and your recent research will surely help the scientific community to achieve new heights in the field of Natural Product Sciences for sustainability. Considering your expertise and academic merits, we are approaching you with the request to contribute a chapter under the following thematic areas:
Section I:
Ø Compounds dependent microbial metabolism
Ø Microbial metabolic products such as proteins, enzymes, peptides etc.
Ø Microbial Kinetics and their biochemistry.
Ø Microbial nurturing via inorganic and organic compounds
Section II
Ø Use of microorganisms in the recovery of precious metals.
Ø Biogenic Nanoparticles and its application
Ø Microbes for synthetic chemistry and metabolic engineering
Ø Drug development
Ø Microbial corrosion
Ø Methods for the mitigation of microbial induced corrosion
Author may also suggest any other topic related to the theme of the book.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this email finds you in good health. This is Adamu T. Bekele an early-career researcher from Ethiopia. While looking through the profiles of people in related fields, I came across this site while searching a capable and willing Lab for my ongoing project with the title “Evaluation of in vitro anticancer activity of selected Ethiopian plants”. As the title suggests, its goal was to screen and look into the anticancer properties of 26 previously unstudied medicinal plants used in Ethiopian traditional medicine. The information about the plants were gathered from published reviews, contemporary Ethiopian traditional medicines, old and local publications and writings.
I am interested in this study primarily because there are huge claims about Ethiopian traditional medicines’ efficacy in the treatment of cancer and cancer-like conditions. Moreover, the Ethiopian medicinal plant Maytenus ovatus already yielded the maytenosides, a small molecule component of anticancer Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) like Traztuzumab-DM1.Thus, I became curious, as the majority of the plants were previously not studied for cancer treatment. I proposed to study these plants in breast cancer (MCF-7), Prostate cancer(PC-3), and Neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y). After performing a cell viability assay I planned to look at basic mechanism/s anticancer for those plant extracts with promising activity. I have successfully screened my plants and selected the six most active extracts for further assay. Furthermore, I have segregated the death type(apoptosis and /or necrosis) associated with respective crude extracts using Annexin V/PI assay using Flow cytometry. In addition, using western blot notable expressions of phosphohistone 2AX and PARP-1 expression among some of the active crude extracts, indicating that these extract drive cancer cells to apoptosis through DNA damage. These assays were performed in the University of Salamanca, Spain with funds I obtained from my home university.
As I have mentioned above, six crude extracts have shown promising results motivating me for further fractionation and chemical characterization as the crude extracts’ IC 50 value ranges from 0.5 microgram/mL to 80 microgram/mL. Furthermore, one of the fractions of the most active extract displayed an IC 50 value of 0.053 microgram/mL. This result shows that the fraction elicits greater potency (by several folds) even when compared to standard chemotherapeutic pharmaceutical (Doxorubicin). The assays I have done thus far appear promising. I’m looking for people working in the area of chemical investigation and potential lead compound/s identification. I have fractionated my crude extract and would like to perform chemical characterization for the most active fraction/s. Some of the fractions displayed a single spot on TLC, suggesting a compound with a certain degree of purity. The HPLC fingerprint for the most active extract displayed notable peaks (I can provide the fingerprints). I can render an HPLC fingerprint of what appears to be a ‘pure’ compound, a microscopic image of MCF-7 cancer cells treated for 24 h with the most active extract and other vital evidences. It appears the dominant compound is responsible for the bioactivity, thus I look forward to the way it can be purified, characterized, and tested against cancer cell lines. We have very limited set up here in Ethiopia that almost none of my major Chemistry and Bioactivity related objectives can be accomplished here.
In addition to my strong interest, I have cell culture and related assays experience both in Turkey (Sivas Cumhuriyet University) and Spain(University of Salamanca) with excellent record working with vital organic chemistry analytics like TLC, CC, and HPLC. I hope this would be an excellent compliment to Bioassay-guided Phytochemical investigations I aspire.
I hope the project fits into your Lab practice area. If you are interested I’d be very happy to have a virtual conversation whenever it’s convenient for you. I feel honored to describe my work to you. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward hearing from you.
