Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, we have observed a significant shift in drug design and development modes. Two distinct technological trends are involved in this change. One explores advances in areas such as genomic sequencing, protein science, and structural biology. New technologies provide vast amounts of data, uncover a wide range of potential drug targets, and facilitate more accurate target identification and validation. The other empowers computational scientists to utilize these massive databases, thanks to the significant number of tools and software available for analyzing and interpreting biological complexity. Technological advances in various areas of omics have allowed the exploration of different approaches to improve drug design and development success.
All authors actively involved in drug discovery and development in Poland are invited to contribute to this Special Issue. Original research articles and reviews on the hottest topics related to identifying and introducing new medicines and cutting-edge methodological advances are welcome.
Research topics include but are not limited to:
- In silico drug target profiling;
- Drug delivery systems;
- Drug–drug interaction;
- Target-based screening;
- Phenotypic screening;
- Pharmaceutical modeling;
- Computational chemistry;
- Targeted therapy;
- Biomarkers;
- Bioimaging

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
