Bioinformatics Approaches to Biomedicine

Dear Colleagues,

Bioinformatics has become an indispensable tool in understanding the biological complexity of diseases and providing unprecedented insights into the biomedical sciences. The growth of omics data allowed studies at different molecular levels of the same sample, aiding to the identification of novel potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, as well as disease patients’ classification. This Topical Collection aims at presenting computational methods in bioinformatics, along with their application to biomedical sciences.

The contributions may describe novel or and existing approaches to aid: the identification of diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive biomarkers; the discovery of potential therapeutic targets and important disease-related pathways; or provide valuable insights into a precision medicine.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Biological data mining;
• Omics data analysis (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics);
• Omics data integration;
• Modelling Analysis in Health Informatics and Biomedicine;
• Network-based methods and machine learning methods for precision medicine;
• Biomarkers discovery and disease classification.

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. 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 collection website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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.
