Call for papers - Multi-omics in metabolic diseases

Guest Editor

Isabella Zanella, University of Brescia, Italy

Submission Status: Open | Submission Deadline: 15 January 2025

BMC Medical Genomics is calling for submissions to our Collection on Multi-omics in metabolic diseases.

This collection welcomes contributions of clinical research and non-clinical research with focus on experimental data.

Bioinformatics studies without primary data will only be considered if they are novel contributions to the field. The focus of this collection novel insights into metabolic diseases using multi-omics techniques, including metabolomics, lipidomics, and genomics. Studies on interactions of microbiota with health conditions are also welcome.

New Content Item This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing.

About the Collection

BMC Medical Genomics is calling for submissions to our Collection on Multi-omics in metabolic diseases.

Metabolic diseases are an increasing health burden around the world. Conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes are affecting a growing proportion of the global population. A more profound understanding using state-of-the-art multi-omics approaches could lead to innovative prevention and treatment strategies.

This collection welcomes contributions of clinical research and non-clinical research with focus on experimental data. Bioinformatics studies without primary data will only be considered if they are novel contributions to the field. The focus of this collection novel insights into metabolic diseases using multi-omics techniques, including metabolomics, lipidomics, and genomics. Studies on interactions of microbiota with health conditions are also welcome.

In this context, potential topics of interest, include, but are not limited to:

Metabolomics in disease
Lipidomics
Microbiome interactions

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing.

This Collection welcomes submission of original Research Articles. Should you wish to submit a different article type, please read our submission guidelines to confirm that type is accepted by the journal. Articles for this Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Snapp. During the submission process you will be asked whether you are submitting to a Collection, please select "Multi-omics in metabolic diseases" from the dropdown menu.

Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all of the journal’s standard policies. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.

The Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they handle through the peer review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
