Advances in Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, "Advances in Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering", presents a detailed examination of significant developments in technology, biology, and medicine. It emphasizes how these developments are crucial in transforming healthcare. The issue covers key topics such as healthcare information systems, biomedical imaging, computational omics, biomechanics, pharmacogenomics, precision medicine, and drug repurposing.

In the section on healthcare information systems, we investigate the impact of advanced data management and computational tools on improving patient care and medical processes. Biomedical imaging is also a major area of focus, where we look into the latest imaging technologies and their role in making diagnoses more accurate.

A substantial part of this issue is devoted to computational omics. Here, we explore how computational techniques are used to analyze and interpret large-scale biological data, particularly in genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. This discussion extends into pharmacogenomics and precision medicine, where we discuss tailored medical treatments based on individual genetic information and health data.

The subject of biomechanics is examined in terms of its application in creating better medical devices and understanding the physical functioning of biological systems. Finally, we address drug repurposing, which involves finding new uses for existing drugs to treat different diseases.

This Special Issue aims to provide an academic and in-depth view of how bioinformatics and biomedical engineering are merging to create new pathways in medical science, leading to more effective and personalized healthcare solutions.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
