Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields:
This area focuses on the "building blocks" of life and the chemical processes that keep organisms running.
Biochemistry: Enzymology, Metabolism (Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle), Protein Folding, Bioenergetics.
Cell Biology: Organelle Function, Cell Signaling, Membrane Transport, Cell Cycle/Mitosis, Autophagy.
Molecular Biology: DNA Replication, Transcription & Translation, RNA Interference, Gene Editing (CRISPR).
Structural Biology: X-ray Crystallography, Cryo-electron Microscopy, Protein-Ligand Interactions.
This covers how traits are passed down and how life changes over vast periods of time.
Classical Genetics: Mendelian Inheritance, Linkage mapping, Pedigree analysis.
Genomics & Epigenetics: Whole-genome Sequencing, DNA Methylation, Histone Modification.
Evolutionary Biology: Natural Selection, Speciation, Phylogenetics, Population Genetics.
Developmental Biology: Embryogenesis, Stem Cell Differentiation, Organogenesis, Regeneration.
The primary focus of pre-medical and biomedical studies, looking at how the body functions as a system.
Anatomy: Gross Anatomy, Histology (Tissue study), Neuroanatomy.
Systemic Physiology: Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Renal, Endocrine, and Digestive systems.
Neuroscience: Neurophysiology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Synaptic Plasticity, Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Immunology: Innate vs. Adaptive Immunity, Vaccine Development, Autoimmunity, Immunotherapy.
The study of microscopic organisms and their impact—both positive and negative—on larger hosts.
Bacteriology: Bacterial Pathogenesis, Antibiotic Resistance, Microbiome studies.
Virology: Viral Replication, Epidemiology, Zoonotic Diseases (e.g., COVID-19, Influenza).
Mycology & Parasitology: Fungal Infections, Protozoology, Helminthology (Worms).
Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease, Histopathology, Oncology (Cancer Biology).
The study of how external substances interact with biological systems.
Pharmacodynamics: How drugs affect the body (receptors and signaling).
Pharmacokinetics: How the body affects drugs (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion).
Toxicology: Environmental Toxins, Forensic Toxicology, Dose-Response Relationships.
Drug Discovery: Rational Drug Design, Clinical Trials, Pharmacogenomics.
These topics shift focus away from human medicine and toward the broader natural world.

Astrobiology: The study of the origins of life and the potential for life on other planets.
The "toolset" of modern biology, involving data, engineering, and technology.
Bioinformatics: Sequence Alignment, Computational Modeling, Big Data in Biology.
Biostatistics: Experimental Design, Population Modeling, Clinical Data Analysis.
Biotechnology: Synthetic Biology, Bioprocess Engineering, Recombinant DNA Technology.
Bioengineering: Prosthetics, Tissue Engineering, Medical Imaging Technology.
