Call for Papers

Advances in Synthetic Biology

Deadline Extended: Proposals now accepted until Monday, May 17

Submit Proposals here

SLAS Technology

SLAS Technology Guest Editors Shue Wang, Ph.D. (University of New Haven) and Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro, Ph.D. (Imperial College London) invite the submission of abstracts on advances in synthetic biology for publication in a 2022 Special Issue. These abstracts will be used to select and invite papers for review and publication consideration.

Drs. Wang and Ledesma-Amaro seek high-quality, short- or full-length research reports, reviews and perspectives related to synthetic cell systems, gene circuits, cell-free expression systems, RNA regulation, metabolic engineering and nucleic acid engineering. Proposals are welcome from academia, industry and vendors. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Synthetic cell systems (protocells, artificial cell system)
  • Cell-free expression systems (Transcription-translation [TXTL])
  • Genetic circuit design and optimization
  • Metabolic engineering (design, construction, and optimization of native and non-natural routes of product synthesis)
  • RNA regulation (programming microRNA, mRNA in mammalian cells)
  • Computation methods for genetic system design
  • Nucleic acid engineering
  • Synthetic biology approaches in infectious diseases

Submit your manuscript proposal before Monday, May 17.

  1. Submit a working title and abstract (250-500 words) as an MS Word document.
  2. Include your name, affiliation and contact info in the text of the e-mail and in your MS Word document.

Invited manuscripts will need to be completed and submitted by Wednesday, September 15. All submitted papers will be subject to peer-review to ensure scientific rigor, clarity of expression and integration with other contributions in the SLAS Technology Special Issue. Submissions from SLAS members, nonmembers and especially attendees of the Synthetic Biology: Engineering, Evolution & Design (SEED) are welcomed!

Publication note: After submissions are accepted, they typically publish online ahead-of-print within 30 days and become immediately searchable and citable with a DOI.

3D Cell Culture Approaches of Microphysiological Relevant Models

Proposals now accepted until Tuesday, June 1

Submit Proposals here

SLAS Discovery

SLAS Discovery/Technology Guest Editors Timothy P. Spicer, Ph.D. (Scripps Research) and Glauco R. Souza, Ph.D. (Greiner Bio-One) invite the submission of abstracts on 3D Cell Culture Approaches of Microphysiological Relevant Models for publication in a 2022 Special Issue. Manuscript proposals (abstracts) will be used to select and invite papers for review and publication consideration. All manuscripts published as part of this special issue will be peer reviewed but will also receive SAGE Choice coverage to make them freely available to the world wide public.

Drs. Spicer and Souza seek high-quality, short- or full-length research reports, reviews, and perspectives related to approaches that address the use of 3D cell culture models that reflect physiologically relevant in vivo models. Manuscript proposals (abstracts) are welcome from academia, industry, and vendors. Areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:

  • 3D cell culture for drug discovery using cell aggregates, organoids, and micro-tissue
  • HTS methods for cancer, neurological, cardiovascular or other disease models using 3D cell culture
  • Approaches using 3D models that have the potential to limit the use of animals in research
  • Application of discovery technologies for manipulating and imaging 3D cell culture
  • 3D cell culture approaches directed at personalized medicine
  • Validation of molecular targets using 3D cell culture

Submit your manuscript proposal before June 1, 2021.

  1. Submit a working title and abstract (250-500 words) as an MS Word document.
  2. Include your name, affiliation and contact info in the text of the e-mail and in your MS Word document.

Invited manuscripts to be included in the special issue will need to be completed and submitted by August 1, 2021. All submitted papers will be subject to peer-review to ensure scientific rigor, clarity of expression and integration with other contributions in the SLAS Discovery special issue. Submissions from SLAS members, nonmembers and especially attendees of the SLAS Advanced 3D Human Models and High-Content Analysis Symposium 2021 are welcome.

Publication note: After submissions are accepted, they typically publish online ahead-of-print within 30 days and become immediately searchable and citable with a DOI.
