Aims & Scope

npj Systems Biology and Applications considers all aspects of research covering computational and mathematical approaches to analysis and modeling of complex biological systems.

The journal covers a broad range of topics including but not limited to: 

    Computational modeling of biological systems
    Application of systems biology approaches to disease modeling, pharmacology, drug discovery, biotechnology, and industry
    Network biology and interactome analysis
    Multi-omics data integration
    Synthetic biology and metabolic engineering
    Single-cell systems biology
    Systems immunology and host-pathogen interactions
    Systems neuroscience and brain function
    Environmental systems biology
    Evolutionary systems biology

The journal offers more choice to Nature Portfolio authors who are seeking a fully open-access and more inclusive platform for publishing their work. The journal is led by systems biology experts who collaborate to cultivate high-quality research. As part of the npj Series, this journal focuses on fostering global partnerships with the research community and other Springer Nature journals.
