Calls for papers

Highlight your research and enhance its visibility to your field and community by submitting to one of our Collections. Collections provide a high-profile venue for topics of substantial interest to the community. Papers included in a Collection are published in the journal and featured on our collection page.

  • Systems immunology: multi-omics approaches, dynamical modeling and novel agentic AI approaches

    The broad focus of this systems immunology collection is on computational and experimenal approaches that can be used to generate and interrogate combinations of these datasets in a principled fashion to uncover phenotypes and mechanisms underlying immunological states and disorders, and predictive dynamical models that can connect such high-throughput data to phenotypic/cell-state aspects.
