Molecular BioSystems publishes high-quality chemical biology research with a particular focus on the interface between chemistry and the -omic sciences and systems biology.

"The power of the chemical approach to biology, when combined with the amazing technologies being developed in genomics and proteomics, promises to have a transforming effect on biological research and clinical medicine. This journal will strive to be a thought leader in the field, publishing not only some of the best new research, but also reviews and forward-looking articles by leaders in the field."

Professor Thomas Kodadek, Editorial Board Chair
