Abstract

Synthesis and medicinal studies on β-lactams have attracted significant attention to a diverse group of scientists for the past many decades. But, the progress in this area remains uncontrolled. We have been engaged in β-lactam research for many years and contributed numerous papers. Our contributions on β-lactams have gained scientific values and merits as documented by excellent publications, books, patents, presentations, competitive grant funding, citations and media exposures and above all numerous invitations. In this perspective, a concise summary of our research on β-lactams is discussed
