The Annals of Proteomics and Bioinformatics (APB) invites researchers, academicians, and professionals worldwide to submit high-quality manuscripts for upcoming issues. APB provides a dynamic open-access platform dedicated to advancing knowledge in proteomics, bioinformatics, and multi-omics sciences through original research, technical innovations, and integrative computational approaches.

Submit your manuscript today and contribute to a journal that promotes transparency, reproducibility, and interdisciplinary collaboration across proteomics and computational biology.

Scope of Submissions

APB welcomes original manuscripts that fit within its broad aims and scope. The journal encourages studies that combine laboratory-based proteomic research with advanced bioinformatics or systems biology analysis.

  • Quantitative and qualitative proteomics studies
  • Protein-protein interaction mapping and network modeling
  • Computational prediction and AI-driven proteomics workflows
  • Integrative analyses linking genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics with proteome data
  • Novel bioinformatics software tools, algorithms, and databases
  • Clinical and translational proteomics in disease detection and therapy

Interdisciplinary research at the intersection of biology, chemistry, informatics, and data science is especially encouraged. APB publishes both hypothesis-driven and discovery-based studies that expand the frontiers of molecular and computational life sciences.
