Trends in Biotechnology publishes reviews and perspectives on the applied biological sciences: useful science applied to, derived from, or inspired by living systems. The major themes that TIBTECH is interested in include: Bioprocessing :biochemical engineering, applied enzymology, industrial biotechnology, biofuels, metabolic engineering Omics :genome editing, single-cell technologies, bioinformatics, synthetic biology Materials and devices :bionanotechnology, biomaterials, diagnostics/imaging/detection, soft robotics, biosensors/bioelectronics Therapeutics :biofabrication, stem cells, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, antibodies and other protein drugs, drug delivery Agroenvironment :environmental engineering, bioremediation, genetically modified crops, sustainable development We particularly seek articles that are relevant to more than one of these themes. Additionally, we welcome articles on law and intellectual property, policy and regulation, bioethics, scientific communication, and the economics of biotechnology. Reviews of mechanistic or phenomenological biology are generally not within TIBTECH's scope, although we do consider reviews of technologies developed from basic biology as long as there's an application in mind. TIBTECH has a diverse audience that reflects its intentionally broad scope. Our readers include not only biologists but also engineers, chemists, pharmacologists, computer scientists, and physicians, and they work in academic, clinical, industrial, NGO, and governmental settings. Therefore, we emphasize accessible articles that are easy to read, and we encourage authors to keep in mind that many readers may not be familiar with their field's specific terminology.
