The Biochemical Engineering Journal aims to promote progress in the crucial chemical engineering aspects of the development of biological processes associated with everything from raw materials preparation to product recovery relevant to industries as diverse as medical/healthcare, industrial biotechnology, and environmental biotechnology.

The Journal welcomes full length original research papers, short communications, and review papers* in the following research fields:

Biocatalysis (enzyme or microbial) and biotransformations, including immobilized biocatalyst preparation and kinetics

Biosensors and Biodevices including biofabrication and novel fuel cell development

Bioseparations including scale-up and protein refolding/renaturation

Environmental Bioengineering including bioconversion, bioremediation, and microbial fuel cells

Bioreactor Systems including characterization, optimization and scale-up

Bioresources and Biorefinery Engineering including biomass conversion, biofuels, bioenergy, and optimization

Industrial Biotechnology including specialty chemicals, platform chemicals and neutraceuticals

Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering including bioartificial organs, cell encapsulation, and controlled release

Cell Culture Engineering (plant, animal or insect cells) including viral vectors, monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccines, and secondary metabolites

Cell Therapies and Stem Cells including pluripotent, mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells; immunotherapies; tissue-specific differentiation; and cryopreservation

Metabolic Engineering, Systems and Synthetic Biology including OMICS, bioinformatics, in silico biology, and metabolic flux analysis

Protein Engineering including enzyme engineering and directed evolution.
