Connectionists: New Journal Section at Frontiers - Systems Concepts, Theory and Policy in Biology and Medicine

[Sean Manion]

Hello all!

I would like to let you know about a new journal section at Frontiers in
Systems Biology that we have just launched - Systems Concepts, Theory and
Policy in Biology and Medicine. This will include a focus on "Application
of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies to facilitate an
integrative approach to systems biology and medicine".

Frontiers in Systems Biology | Systems Concepts, Theory and Policy in
Biology and Medicine
<https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/systems-biology/sections/systems-concepts-theory-and-policy-in-biology-and-medicine/about>

*Scope*

Biology and medicine have become exceedingly complex. Systems approaches to
biology and medicine have delivered integrated and interdisciplinary
approaches to address this complexity to solve the problems that face the
global population today. Yet even systems biology and systems medicine
often remain fragmented, with researchers working in silos of discipline or
therapeutic area without considering the holistic nature of the problems we
address, which may include physiological, behavioral, environmental,
technological, sociocultural or policy/regulatory components.

The Systems Concepts, Theory and Policy in Biology and Medicine section of
Frontiers in Systems Biology focuses on integrative concepts, underlying
theory of the systems approach, and policy implications and recommendations
relevant to biology and medicine to overcome these barriers and provide
more broadly holistic solutions.

Areas covered by this section include but are not limited to:

• Studies of the intersection of behavioral or psychological concepts with
biology and medicine
• Exploration of how regulatory policies promote or inhibit systems
approaches in medicine
• Applications of multi-systems measures in medicine to drive prevention
and early detection of disease
• Application of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies to
facilitate an integrative approach to systems biology and medicine
• Application of systems biology principles and computational tools to
study sociocultural factors relevant to human health (e.g. racism, poverty,
healthcare disparities)
• Studies of the impact of environmental systems, including systems
impacting climate change, on biology and health.

This section accepts all article types allowed by Frontiers in Systems
Biology – including but not limited to: Original Research, Systematic
Reviews, Policy and Practice Reviews, Hypothesis & Theory, Perspective,
Community Case Studies, Policy Briefs, Technology & Code, and more.

Cheers!

Sean
