Bioinformatics, Biotechnology & Computational Life Science

Research combining biological questions with computational, data-driven, engineering, or biotechnology methods, including genomics, systems biology, biological data science, biomaterials, and computational life science.

Scope Guidance

What We Publish

Submissions in this area should make a clear scientific, engineering, computational, analytical, or interdisciplinary contribution. Suitable research includes:

01

Bioinformatics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and multi-omics analysis.

02

Computational biology, systems biology, network biology, and biological modelling.

03

Machine learning and data science for biological discovery, classification, prediction, and integration.

04

Biotechnology, bioprocess engineering, biological sensing, and technology-enabled life-science research.

05

Biomaterials, computational biomaterials, and interdisciplinary bioengineering studies.

06

Reproducible pipelines, biological databases, benchmarks, and validated computational resources.

Illustrative Examples

Scope Boundaries

Generally Not Suitable

×

Pure wet-lab biological studies with no computational, engineering, or biotechnology-method contribution.

×

Routine bioinformatics pipeline use without methodological or biological insight.

×

Clinical treatment studies that are primarily medical rather than computational or bioengineering research.

Important: A manuscript is assessed by its actual research contribution and scope fit, not only by its subject label. Borderline interdisciplinary work may still be suitable when the scientific or technological contribution is clear.
