Tsinghua University Press has launched Health Engineering, a new international open access journal focused on integrating engineering, biotechnology, and medical science to address global health challenges.
The journal is designed to support research that applies engineering principles to improve health outcomes, enable early disease intervention, and advance approaches to health maintenance. It reflects growing interest in interdisciplinary methods that combine advances in AI, biomaterials, synthetic biology, and precision medicine to reshape biomedical research.
Health Engineering publishes peer-reviewed research across both fundamental and applied areas of engineering-driven health sciences. The journal covers topics including biomaterials, regenerative medicine, biosensors, bioimaging, drug and gene delivery, synthetic biotechnology, diagnostic technologies, therapeutic devices, vaccine engineering, and AI-enabled health technologies.
The journal accepts a range of article types, including original research articles, reviews, short communications, technical reports, correspondence, perspectives, and editorials, supporting knowledge exchange across multiple scientific disciplines.
The launch reflects a broader shift toward engineering-based approaches that emphasize prevention, precision intervention, and long-term health management. By promoting collaboration across scientific domains, the journal aims to support the development of integrated solutions for complex health challenges.
The journal is led by Editors-in-Chief Xin-Hui Xing and Peter E. Lobie and focuses on advancing interdisciplinary research at the intersection of engineering and biomedical sciences.
