The inaugural issue of Emerging Topics in Life Science, a new journal jointly owned by the Royal Society of Biology and the Biochemical Society, has been published.
Each issue of the journal will feature reviews on a new or growing topic and will be guest edited by an expert in the field.
The first issue, entitled 'Antibiotics of the Future' and edited by Dr Daniel Walker of the University of Glasgow, features articles on inhibiting quorum sensing, treating bacterial biofilms and a review of novel therapeutics, all of which are available online now.
Subsequent issues in 2017 and 2018 will focus on topics including mechanobiology, genome editing, organoids, computational biology, climate change bioscience and the microbiome.
In an introductory editorial, Editor-in-chief Professor Colin Kleanthous, from the University of Oxford, writes that the journal will support the needs of researchers and students, as well as those moving into new fields, who need easy-to-digest reviews of rapidly moving areas.
