Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue entitled “Genetics and Genomics in Human Health and Disease”, which is to be published in the journal Life (MDPI), invites high-quality contributions from researchers and clinicians who are actively engaged in this rapidly evolving field. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for disseminating cutting-edge research and expert perspectives that advance our understanding of the genetic and genomic basis of human health and disease. We particularly encourage submissions that address the latest discoveries in human genetic pathologies, including but not limited to rare genetic disorders, complex multifactorial diseases, cancer genomics, epigenetics, and emerging diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Contributions exploring novel genomic technologies, bioinformatics tools, and translational strategies that bridge the gap between laboratory research and clinical application are also welcomed. Original research articles, systematic reviews, and insightful perspectives are invited, with an emphasis on scientific rigour, innovation, and clinical relevance. By bringing together contributions from both the research and clinical communities, this Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote the integration of genomic discoveries into personalised medicine and improved patient care. The Guest Editor of this Special Issue will be Dr. Catana Andreea, whose expertise in the field will ensure a high standard of scientific quality and relevance. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts by 30 December 2026. We look forward to receiving your contributions and to advancing the field through this collaborative scientific endeavour.
