Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The International Journal of Molecular Sciences is pleased to announce a Special Issue aiming to highlight and improve knowledge on the latest developments of bioinformatics applications in the drug discovery field.
The recent advancements in bioinformatics methods have revolutionized several scientific fields, providing researchers with novel approaches to manage and analyze an impressive amount of biological data, allowing for increasingly accurate predictions for drug discovery and the development of newer leads for therapeutic approaches.
As a Guest Editor of this Special Issue, I cordially invite scholars and experts to submit original research, reviews and perspectives on the advancements in computational methods aimed to explore new insights and innovative approaches to improve our understanding of bioinformatics-based drug discovery.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Developments and applications of bioinformatics methods in the prediction and validation of novel selective drugs and drug targets;
- Developments and applications of structure/ligand-based virtual screening methods in silico;
- Developments and applications of data mining, machine learning, and artificial intelligence approaches for precision medicine and drug discovery;
- Repurposing and repositioning of drugs with bioinformatics approaches;
- Bioinformatics approaches for rare disease.
Dr. Alfonso Trezza
Guest Editor
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
