Molecular Advances in Computational Medicine and Drug Design

Dear Colleagues,

Drug repurposing is a strategy for identifying new uses of existing drugs to reduce the costs and risks associated with conventional drug development. Computer-aided drug design is another substitute method for drug discovery.  However, potential drug candidates from the computational methods frequently do not make it to the market during validation. Therefore, to improve upon predictive power (and validity), these research methods have been expanded to other multi-disciplinary subjects such as bioinformatics, chemistry, systems biology, and machine learning with rapidly increasing open-source tools. In addition, these research materials are also utilized in molecular mRNA, miRNA, pathway, and chemistry, and drug interaction analyses.

This Special Issue intends to compile current novel efforts and ideas for drug discovery design associated with computational methods and integrating molecular materials with no limitations.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
