BioDesign Research

ISSN: 2693-1257

BioDesign Research is dedicated to information exchange in the interdisciplinary field of biosystems design. Its unique mission is to pave the way towards the predictable de novo design and assessment of engineered or reengineered living organisms using rational or automated methods to address global challenges in health, agriculture, and the environment.The journal publishes high quality breakthrough research, reviews, editorials, and perspectives focusing on in silico biosystems design, genetic or epigenetic modification, and genome writing or rewriting in any organism. Topics include but are not limited to:• Genome writing and rewriting (gene and genome editing, synthetic viral and cellular genomes).• Biological engineering at the level of chemical (e.g., unnatural nucleotides and amino acids), molecule (e.g., protein and RNA), pathway (e.g., metabolic, signaling and immunological pathways), tissue, organ (e.g., organoids), and organism (e.g., microbiome, plants, and animals).• Methods/tools for biodesign (e.g., pathway/whole-cell/whole-organism modelling, machine-learning, automated design, and bioengineering using algorithm-directed in vivo evolution).• Biodesign theory (e.g., control theory).• Biodesign applications (e.g., gene therapy, cancer research, pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, biosensing, diagnostics, bioremediation, biofuels, carbon sequestration, crop domestication and breeding, biological computation, gene circuits, and minimal organisms).

An official journal of the Indian Association of Medical MicrobiologistsIndian Journal of Medical Microbiology (IJMM) provides comprehensive coverage of medical microbiology, as well as infectious diseases. We welcome wide ranging contributions; from basic research at laboratory to clinical trials, including bacteriology, mycobacteriology, virology, mycology and parasitology, infection prevention and control, and infectious diseases.We publish articles under the following subject categories:Antimicrobial susceptibility and antimicrobial stewardship: surveillance of antimicrobial susceptibility in bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites of importance in humans, animals, and the environment that are frequently interconnected; mechanisms of action, resistance and interactions. The role of antimicrobial stewardship programs in hospitals and its effectiveness.Clinical microbiology: understanding pathogenesis, virulence factors of the diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, mycobacteria, parasites and fungi in humans, clinical presentation, newer methods and tools for diagnosis of disease and therapeutic options; community health with respect to infection burden and prevention, disease epidemiology and climate change.Emerging infectious diseases: understanding the epidemiology of new and emerging infections or old infections having a resurgence in humans including zoonosis; their pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment.Medical mycology and mycobacteriology: pathogenesis, diagnosis, drug susceptibility, therapy, clinical immunology, autoimmune diseases, and immune responses to infections, vaccine development, epidemiology, public health and outbreak investigation of diseases in humans.Hospital infection: various hospital associated infections -their analysis, control, prevention and lessons learnt, newer methodologies to track HAI's, hospital outbreaks.Molecular studies: application of phenotypic, genotypic and molecular techniques in the study of virulence, AMR genes, epidemiology, outbreak investigations and public health.Microbiome and microbial ecology in health: the normal microbiome and dysbiosis; structure of microbial ecosystems and communities; microbial ecology, with an emphasis on how microorganisms interact with their environment, their host and each other and their impact on general health and treatment of disease. the normal microbiome and dysbiosis and its association with disease conditions; and microbial ecosystems and communities.Immunology: Clinical immunology, autoimmune diseases, and immune responses to infectionsVaccinology and therapeutics: research in identifying vaccine targets, novel drug discovery and therapeutics.IJMM publishes article types such as original research, review articles, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, clinical trials, correspondence, case reports and a new section - infectious disease grand rounds.High quality scientific content related to infections from dental and veterinary sciences (like zoonotic illnesses) can also be submitted.

Medicine in Microecology

ISSN: 2590-0978

Human commensal microbes have a tremendous impact on our health and diseases, but we are at the very early stage towards the application of microecology in medicine. Medicine in Microecology aims to be one of the leading journals promoting researches involving microbiome and medicine from methodology, basic research to translational medicine.The journal is a peer-reviewed, open access journal. It publishes original papers relating to bioinformatics and biotechnologies, microbiome/host interaction modeling and mechanisms studies, surveys and clinical trials. Studies on different types of microbes (bacteria, fungi, virus, phages etc.) on different body sites (gut, oral cavity, lung, skin, genital tract etc.) and their relationships with various diseases (gastrointestinal diseases, metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurological diseases etc.) are welcomed.Article types accepted include, but are not limited to, original research articles, reviews, case reports, short communications and editorials.Medicine in Microecology is an Official Journal of Southern Medical University.Benefits to authors We provide many author benefits, such as APC waivers for accepted manuscripts submitted by 31 December 2020, certificate of publication for your article and much more.
