Advances in life sciences are leading to a better understanding of diseases at the molecular level. For diseases of unmet needs, the identification of molecular targets allows the creation of new generations of medicines such as therapeutic nucleic acids, proteins, antibodies, cells, tissues. In addition, increased understanding in the creation of novel designed biomolecules allows us to generate biomaterials and new devices in the nano-scale for use in health care, biocatalysis and bioremediation. All these provide major challenges to life scientists and engineers engaged in discoveries and their translation to practical outcomes. Turning a new discovery into a successful application has become a highly integrated, multidisciplinary activity, and Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry is uniquely placed to provide an international forum for the dissemination of new information and insightful discussion by researchers working across many subject groups.
