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.
