Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Molecular and translational research represents a multidisciplinary field at the intersection of basic science and clinical application. It focuses on understanding biological processes at the molecular level and translating these insights into practical medical advancements, including diagnostics, therapeutics, and preventative strategies.
Key areas of molecular research include genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and cellular biology, which aim to unravel the mechanisms underlying diseases. Translational research builds on this foundation, emphasizing the "bench-to-bedside" approach—bridging laboratory discoveries with clinical implementation. This process involves identifying molecular targets, developing experimental therapies, and validating these interventions in preclinical and clinical studies.
This field plays a pivotal role in precision medicine, which involves tailoring treatments based on individual genetic and molecular profiles. Innovations such as gene editing, biomarker discovery, and immunotherapies are direct outcomes of this research. Collaboration among biologists, clinicians, bioinformaticians, and pharmaceutical industries is essential for advancing this field and improving patient outcomes.
Molecular and translational research continues to evolve, driven by advancements in technology such as CRISPR, next-generation sequencing, and artificial intelligence, promising new frontiers in disease management and healthcare innovation.
For this Special Issue, we are seeking submissions of original research articles or reviews presenting impactful advances in the field of molecular and translational medicine in the USA.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
