Special Issue Information
Recent breakthroughs in computational systems biology have revolutionized our comprehension of complex biological systems. Central to these advances are improved algorithms that facilitate the modelling of intricate biological networks, enabling accurate simulations of cellular processes. The integration of machine learning techniques has become pivotal in analyzing large-scale genomic and proteomic datasets, thus improving the identification of critical biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
Furthermore, the fusion of multi-omics data—encompassing genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—offers a comprehensive perspective on cellular functions and interactions, providing unprecedented insights into biological processes. High-performance computing has been instrumental in processing extensive datasets, enhancing the development of robust predictive models. Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in drug discovery, expediting the identification of promising drug candidates.
Collaborative platforms and open-source tools are democratizing research efforts, ensuring greater accessibility and reproducibility and fostering innovation. These collective advancements help pave the way for personalized medicine and more effective therapeutic strategies, transforming our approach to understanding and treating diseases. This Special Issue explores these cutting-edge developments and their profound implications for the future of biomedical research.

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. Processes 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 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.
