Engineering in Life Sciences (ELS)

Engineering in Life Sciences (ELS) is an international source on bioengineering principles and innovations in life sciences and biotechnology, spanning biochemical engineering, process engineering, industrial chemistry. As a fully open access journal, we aim to promote global relationships among biologists, biotechnologists and bioengineers. We believe that, for the field to advance, collaboration is key. The journal covers bioprocesses, metabolic and biosystems engineering, biosynthesis, biotransformation, cell-based treatments and bio-based solutions. We publish research, reviews, technical reports and short communications. Engineering in Life Sciences (ELS) focuses on engineering principles and innovations in life sciences and biotechnology. Life sciences and biotechnology covered in ELS encompass the use of biomolecules (e.g. proteins/enzymes), cells (microbial, plant and mammalian origins) and biomaterials for biosynthesis, biotransformation, cell-based treatment and bio-based solutions in industrial and pharmaceutical biotechnologies. ELS especially aims to promote interdisciplinary collaborations among biologists, biotechnologists and engineers for quantitative understanding and holistic engineering (design-built-test) of biological parts and processes in the different application areas. Applying this engineering mindset ELS addresses scientific questions and technologies, for example, regarding: • Engineering electron transfer for biosynthesis and biotransformation (e.g via photo- and electrobiotechnology) • Developing quantitative tools for engineering of biomolecules (e.g. DNA/genome, RNA and proteins) and bioproduction chassis • Accessing and exploring novel biomolecules and biomaterials (e.g. proteins, natural and aroma compounds, fine chemicals, building blocks, and scaffold biomaterials) • Engineering metabolic pathways and their regulation (e.g. in the context of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology) • Unravelling cellular regulation and cell-to-cell interactions (e.g. microbiome, co-cultures, stem cells and tissues) • Engineering novel bioreactors and bioprocesses (e.g. for the production of biopharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, commodities and biofuels, including use of waste streams and alternative feedstocks) • New cultivation technologies for emerging applications (e.g. autonomous or adaptive cellular systems, cultured or cell-based meats) • Bioproduct Engineering (bioproduct purification and formulation, bio-originated or hybrid biomaterials for life science applications) As such, the journal ELS covers the whole range of modern biochemical engineering and biotechnology comprising biomolecule, bioprocess, metabolic and biosystems engineering. Manuscripts are expected to address the engineering principles and innovations at different molecular and process levels with indicative numbers or performance parameters. Innovative methods and tools for these purposes are also within the scope of ELS.
