Journal of Biological Engineering

IBE is excited to announce the launch of the Journal of Biological Engineering. The first set of articles became available on October 10, 2007. JBE's editor, Mark Riley, is to be commended for the speed and quality that characterized the launch of what will clearly be the flagship Journal of Biological Engineering.

JBE addresses the foundational questions that unify all applications of biological engineering. Topical areas include, but are not limited to: synthetic biology and cellular design, engineering of biomolecular and cellular devices, bioproduction and bioproduct engineering, whole organism studies, ecological and environmental engineering, and biological engineering education and the biodesign process.

JBE provides a home for the continuum from biological information science, molecules and cells, product formation, wastes and remediation, and educational advances in curriculum content and pedagogy at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Manuscripts should explore commonalities with other fields of application by providing some discussion of the broader context of the work and how it connects to other areas within the field.

JBE is an entirely on-line and open access publication. It is available at: http://www.jbioleng.org/.

Publication is through BioMed Central, an on-line open access publisher. Please contact Mark Riley, Editor-in-Chief, if you have any questions.
