Call for papers/Topics

Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields:

This area focuses on understanding the "blueprints" of life and how biological systems function at their most basic levels.

Molecular and Cellular Biology
- Signal transduction pathways and cellular communication.
- Organelle function and protein trafficking.
- Cell cycle regulation and programmed cell death (apoptosis).
Genetics and Genomics
- Epigenetics and gene expression regulation.
- Population genetics and evolutionary biology.
- Comparative genomics and functional transcriptomics.
Biochemistry and Structural Biology
- Enzyme kinetics and metabolic pathways.
- Protein folding, misfolding, and proteomics.
- Metabolomics and the study of small-molecule intermediates.
Microbiology and Virology
- Microbial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions.
- The human microbiome and its role in systemic health.
- Viral replication strategies and zoonotic transmission.

This field uses the knowledge from Bioscience to develop products, tools, and organisms for specific industrial or therapeutic uses.

Genetic Engineering and Synthetic Biology
- CRISPR-Cas9 and next-generation gene editing.
- Design and construction of synthetic gene circuits.
- Metabolic engineering for biofuel and specialty chemical production.
Bioprocess Engineering
- Fermentation technology and bioreactor design.
- Downstream processing (purification and separation of biologicals).
- Scale-up strategies for monoclonal antibody production.
Agricultural and Environmental Biotechnology
- Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) for crop resilience.
- Bioremediation: Using microbes to clean environmental pollutants.
- Molecular farming (producing pharmaceuticals in plants).
Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
- Vaccine development (mRNA, viral vectors, recombinant proteins).
- Pharmacogenomics: Personalized medicine based on genetic profiles.
- Drug delivery systems (liposomes, nanoparticles).

This field applies engineering principles and design concepts to healthcare, bridging the gap between engineering and medicine.

Biomechanics and Human Performance

- Orthopedic biomechanics (spine, joint, and bone mechanics).
- Fluid mechanics of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems.
Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
- Biocompatibility and the foreign body response.
- Scaffold design for 3D cell culture and organ regeneration.
- Smart materials and "bio-inks" for 3D bioprinting.
Biomedical Instrumentation and Biosensors
- Bioelectric signal processing (ECG, EEG, EMG).
- Point-of-care diagnostic devices (e.g., glucose monitors).
- Wearable health technology and remote patient monitoring.
Medical Imaging and Radiology
- Physics of MRI, CT, PET, and Ultrasound.
- Computer-aided diagnosis and medical image processing.
- Molecular imaging and contrast agent development.
Neural Engineering and Rehabilitation
- Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
- Neural prosthetics and neurostimulation.
- Robotic-assisted surgery and exoskeletons.

These topics represent the convergence of all three fields, where biology meets advanced computation and ethical oversight.
