Call for papers/Topics



Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields:



Theme 1: Convergence & Computation: The AI Revolution in Bio-Chem



Focus: How artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data are accelerating discovery timelines from decades to months across all three disciplines.



Subthemes:





  • Generative AI in Drug Discovery: Moving beyond screening libraries to de novo design of small molecules and antibodies using deep learning.




  • AlphaFold & Beyond: Utilization of protein structure prediction models for understanding disease mechanisms and designing novel enzymes.




  • Multi-Omics Integration: Using computational tools to merge genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data for a holistic view of patient health.




  • Automated ("Self-Driving") Laboratories: The integration of robotics and AI to conduct chemical synthesis and biological assays 24/7.





Theme 2: Next-Generation Medicine: Regeneration and Precision



Focus: Moving away from "one-size-fits-all" treatments toward therapies based on individual genetics, and shifting from treating symptoms to regenerating damaged tissue.



Subthemes:





  • Advanced Gene Editing (CRISPR 2.0): Therapeutic applications of prime editing and base editing for genetic disorders, and the challenge of delivery vectors.




  • Biomaterials & Tissue Engineering: Smart polymers and hydrogels that mimic the extracellular matrix to promote healing or house implanted cells.




  • Cellular Immunotherapy (CAR-T and beyond): Engineering immune cells to target solid tumors and autoimmune diseases.




  • The Microbiome in Health & Disease: Chemical signaling between gut bacteria and the host, and its impact on metabolic and neurological disorders.





Theme 3: Planetary Health: Chemical & Biological Solutions for a Sustainable Future



Focus: Addressing global environmental challenges through the lens of chemical engineering and biological adaptation, recognizing that environmental health dictates human health.



Subthemes:





  • Green Chemistry & Catalysis: Developing non-toxic synthetic pathways and replacing precious metal catalysts with abundant earth alternatives or biocatalysts (enzymes).




  • Biodegradable Polymers & Materials: Chemical innovation in creating plastics that truly break down in marine and soil environments without leaving microplastics.




  • Environmental Toxicology & Biosensors: Novel biological methods for detecting emerging contaminants (like PFAS) in water supplies.




  • Zoonosis & Pandemic Preparedness: Understanding the biochemical drivers of viral spillover from animal reservoirs to humans.





Theme 4: Molecular Frontiers: Mechanisms, Diagnostics, and Deliveries



Focus: The fundamental "nuts and bolts" of science—how we detect disease earlier, understand how it works at an atomic level, and get drugs exactly where they need to go.



Subthemes:





  • Novel Drug Delivery Systems (DDS): Lipid nanoparticles (like those used in mRNA vaccines), exosomes, and targeted antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).




  • The Biochemistry of Neurodegeneration: Unraveling the molecular misfolding pathways in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.




  • Liquid Biopsies & Early Detection: Advances in detecting circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and other biomarkers in blood samples for early cancer diagnosis.




  • Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): Chemical synthesis of novel antibiotic classes and biological approaches using bacteriophages.
