The Application of Artificial Intelligence in Biological Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing biomedical science in many ways, including improving image-based diagnostics; engineering strategies for improving movement related to injury, birth defects, or neurological or cardiovascular disease; as well as predicting behavior and nerve responses to stimuli. Therefore, AI is assembling a Special Issue highlighting the latest applications of AI to biomedical science, and invites you to submit your research for consideration.

The focus of this Issue will be on the application of AI to biomedical science; however, studies related to other biomedical applications of AI are welcome. If your research applies AI to any areas of biomedical science, I encourage you to submit a paper to this Issue.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• AI-based biological and biomedical image reconstruction, classification, registration, detection and segmentation;
• AI-based biological and biomedical applications;
• AI-aided diagnosis;
• AI-aided prognosis;
• AI-aided decision making;
• Learning-based algorithms for biological science, including disease diagnosis and prognosis,
• Improving biomedical image clarity or resolution, and enabling cross-modality comparison;
• Automated approaches, such as computer vision, to localizing and tracking moving targets with application in biomedical science;
• Image-guided therapy, including planning for and the execution of surgical procedures and during surgical interventions;
• Quantitative approaches to molecular diagnostics and therapeutic imaging;
• Discovery-based applications of AI in biomedicine;
• Fusion of machine learning and domain knowledge, including feature extraction and computational modeling from biomedical images and annotation-efficient learning from biomedical imaging;
• Biomedical image synthesis and editing.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Abdullah Alghamdi
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. AI is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
