Renewal of the Scope of Medical Sciences

From time to time, it is useful to reassess a journal’s purpose, and position it in a way that it can make a significant and unique contribution to the scientific literature. I have recently completed the task of adjusting the scope of Medical Sciences (ISSN 2076-3271; https://www.mdpi.com/journal/medsci), and I believe it is now in an even better position to publish significant work that will be of use and interest to scholars and clinicians within the medical science field.

Medical Sciences focuses on the contribution of basic science to medicine. The journal will publish original research and comprehensive reviews in the following areas, as related to this aim:

• biochemistry/molecular biology
• bioinformatics and systems biology
• genetics/genomics
• pathology and physiology
• biostatistics
• epidemiology
• immunology and microbiology
• neuroscience
• pharmacology and pharmacogenomics
• toxicology

We are always interested to hear feedback from authors and receive proposals for potential papers or Special Issues. I would be happy to make comments on such proposals to ensure a good chance of success. You can contact either myself or the editorial office.

With the valuable support of the Editorial Board, I am confident of the continued growth and success of Medical Sciences.
