The world's largest scientific society,
American Chemical Society (ACS), US, has announced the launch of its new peer-reviewed publication, ACS Chemical Biology, a global forum for biologists and chemists working jointly to understand cellular processes. Editor-in-chief Laura L. Kiessling, Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and MacArthur Foundation Fellow at the University of Wisconsin will lead 'ACS Chemical Biology'.
The new journal provides coverage on peer-reviewed research findings, latest viewpoints, commentaries and highlights from the field to promote communication and collaboration among researchers across a range of sub disciplines in biology and chemistry.
The journal, available online at
www.acschemicalbiology.org, offers interactive community features updated on a weekly basis, and is open to all scientists. These include "Ask the Expert," where scientific experts handle questions to offer readers new insights and perspectives, and a "Wiki" discussion forum, designed to encourage communication between chemical biology community members.
