Journal of Microbiome Research and Health Applications
Aims and Scope
The Journal of Microbiome Research and Health Applications seeks to publish innovative research that explores the intricate relationship between the microbiome and human health. The journal’s scope covers a broad range of topics related to the microbiome’s influence on various aspects of health, disease, and wellness. We aim to advance knowledge on how microbiomes—both within the human body and in environmental interactions—affect biological processes and contribute to disease pathogenesis.
We welcome contributions that focus on:
- Microbiome and Disease: Articles investigating the role of the microbiome in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, neurological disorders, and mental health conditions.
- Microbiome-Based Therapeutics: Research on microbiome-targeted interventions, including probiotics, prebiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and gene editing techniques to modulate microbiome composition for health benefits.
- Microbiome in Personalized Medicine: Investigations that examine the potential for microbiome profiling to influence personalized treatment strategies, including drug response, disease prevention, and health optimization.
- Clinical and Translational Research: Studies that bridge basic microbiome research with clinical applications, exploring how microbiome-based therapies can be integrated into medical practice to improve patient outcomes.
- Methodologies in Microbiome Research: Articles that present novel tools, techniques, or computational methods for microbiome analysis, including bioinformatics approaches, metagenomics, and systems biology.
- Microbiome and Environmental Health: Research exploring the environmental factors influencing microbiome composition, such as diet, pollution, antibiotics, and lifestyle, and their impact on human health.
By fostering a multidisciplinary approach, Journal of Microbiome Research and Health Applications aims to be a leading forum for sharing findings that may lead to the development of microbiome-based health applications that improve disease prevention, diagnostics, and treatment modalities. We aim to facilitate a better understanding of how microbiomes shape health and how interventions may harness these microbial communities to address the most pressing health challenges of our time.
