Computational Biology and Biostatistics for Public Health

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue will showcase basic and applied research dealing with statistical issues of relevance to environmental health, including the development of new methodologies and application of existing techniques in novel ways to address public health problems.

Research in the Special Issue focuses on several areas:

1. Design and analysis of laboratory animal toxicology/carcinogenicity experiments and development of improved statistical methods in human health research;
2. Application and development of methodologies for epidemiological and clinical human studies;
3. Application and development of new bioinformatics techniques for harvesting information from high-dimensional genomic, gene expression and proteomic data;
4. Development of new design and analysis approaches in statistical genetics;
5. Development of broadly applicable statistical approaches.

Prof. Dr. Mingqing Xu
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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
