Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genetic research on neuropsychiatric disorders and other complex human diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune conditions, and aging-related diseases, is advancing rapidly, employing a diverse range of methodologies. This Special Issue aims to explore the intersection of genetic factors across these various diseases, highlighting the integration of traditional techniques and modern approaches. Neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression, exemplify the intricate interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle influences. Simultaneously, complex diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders present unique genetic challenges and opportunities for research. By utilizing bioinformatics tools and advanced data analysis methods, researchers can effectively analyze large-scale genomic datasets. Traditional approaches, such as linkage analysis and candidate gene studies, are complemented by modern multi-omics strategies—encompassing genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—to provide a holistic understanding of disease mechanisms. This integrative approach facilitates the identification of genetic variations and their biological implications across multiple disease contexts. Additionally, sophisticated data analysis techniques, including statistical modeling and network analysis, enhance our ability to decipher complex biological interactions. Ultimately, this Special Issue seeks to illuminate the multifaceted landscape of genetic research across neuropsychiatric and other complex human diseases, paving the way for improved diagnostics and treatment strategies.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
