Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioengineering is currently soliciting manuscripts for a special issue focusing on novel antibody therapeutics used to treat infectious disease. Manuscripts can include literature reviews as well as primary research papers. Topics of particular interest include platforms for rapid discovery of antibodies, bispecific antibodies, strategies for rapid manufacturing to respond to emerging diseases, and repurposing of existing antibody therapeutics for novel indications in infectious disease. Submissions related to treatment of SARS-CoV2/COVID19 are particularly encouraged, but papers addressing other infectious diseases such as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Zika and Ebola viruses are also welcome.
Submissions are requested by May 2021 and will be peer-reviewed and published once submitted, possible publication date September 2021. Bioengineering (ISSN 2306-5354; CODEN: BIOENG) is an international scientific peer-reviewed, open access journal on the science and technology of bioengineering, published monthly online by MDPI.
