Genome Medicine – BioMed Central’s new premier medical journal
As our understanding of the biological complexity of human health and disease increases, so does the excitement that is generated by the potential applications of genomics in clinical practice.
The delivery of personalized medicine will depend on the advancement of technology, addressing the major social, ethical and legal issues surrounding the use of genomic information and technologies in medicine, the globalization of medical science through bio banks and increased scientific collaborations, and just as importantly, open access to published research.
At the European Society of Human Genetics meeting earlier this month, BioMed Central announced that our new premier medical journal Genome Medicine, is now accepting submissions. The journal is the sister to the well-established and successful journal, Genome Biology.
Genome Medicine is an online peer-reviewed journal that will publish open access research articles of outstanding quality in all areas of medicine studied from a genomic or post-genomic perspective. The journal will have a special focus on the latest technologies and findings that impact on the understanding and management of human health and disease.
In addition to publishing high-quality research, Genome Medicine will serve the international research community as a forum for the discussion and critical review of information about all areas of medicine informed by genomic research.
Genome Medicine will focus on the following areas:
- Significant advances in the understanding of the genetics, genomics, and epigenetics of disease
- Computational and systems approaches, including proteomics, metabolomics and transcriptomics, to the understanding and management of disease
- Genomic epidemiology and public health genomics
- The application of genomic and post-genomic technologies to clinical practice, with special emphasis on diagnostics and therapeutics
- Personalized medicine
- Ethical, social and legal issues relating to genomic medicine and personalized medicine
Submit your outstanding research now and take advantage of the rapid, high-quality peer review service, high visibility, as well as immediate and free access to all research papers.
