The Publications Division of the American Chemical Society has announced a new peer-reviewed journal that will cover synthetic biology and systems bioscience. Led by Editor-in-Chief Dr. Christopher A. Voigt of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the journal will publish important advances in cutting edge molecular, systems, and synthetic research.
ACS Synthetic Biology will define the growing field of synthetic biology by publishing original research that demonstrates integrative, molecular approaches to better understand the organisation and function of cells, tissues, and organisms in systems. Moreover, articles will demonstrate the application of synthetic biology to manipulate these systems.
The journal is particularly interested in fostering studies on the design and synthesis of new genetic circuits and gene products; computational methods in the design of systems; and integrative applied approaches to understanding disease and metabolism.
Launched in response to the needs of the scientific community, the journal will seek to provide a reputable forum for the publication of research with broad appeal to chemists and chemical engineers; biologists and bioengineers; electrical engineers and computer scientists; and biophysicists interested in the chemistry of biological systems. It will be delivered exclusively via the ACS Web Editions platform.
