ASME to Launch New Medical Diagnostics and Therapy Journal

Aug. 11, 2017

ASME is currently accepting paper submissions for a new journal launching in 2018, the ASME Journal of Engineering and Science in Medical Diagnostics and Therapy, which will provide engineers, scientists and medical researchers in the clinical healthcare community a forum to share their work and promote biomedical innovation, trial, and commercialization. 

The new journal will complement the Society’s new Alliance of Advanced Biomedical Engineering website (AABME.org), which aims to engage members of the multidisciplinary biomedical engineering arena across industry, research, academia and government and achieve the goals of collaboration and information sharing across disciplines.

Instead of focusing on basic, theoretical, or experimental bioengineering research, the ASME Journal of Engineering and Science in Medical Diagnostics and Therapy will concentrate on lab-proven biomedical and biotechnology applications that contribute to achieving T1 translational research objectives. The editor of the journal is Ahmed Al-Jumaily, professor of biomechanical engineering and the director of the Institute of Biomedical Technologies at the Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand.

The journal will cover a variety of subjects including chemical processes and pharmaceuticals; micro- and nanotechnology in medicine; cell physiology and applied mechanics; computers in medicine and biotechnology; drug and gene delivery science and biopharmaceuticals; electromechanical and chemical sensors technology; cancer diagnostics and treatments; wave propagations in medical applications; sports medicine and prevention of impact injury; mechanopharmacology, mechanopharmaceutics, and mechanobiochemistry; clinical system dynamics and control; and engineering and science in clinical applications.

The journal is open for submissions and accepted papers will immediately publish online in advance of the inaugural issue that will officially launch in 2018.
