ACS Materials Au: Call for papers
Virtual Special Issue on Innovations in Bioengineering
Aims & Scope
Bioengineered materials are driving the development of personalized medicine on a global scale. They are significantly contributing to addressing the challenges the discipline faces.
This virtual special issue, Guest Edited by Maryam Badv (University of Calgary, Canada), Ali Khademhosseini (Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation, USA) and Paul S. Weiss (University of California, Los Angeles, USA), will showcase the range and depth of new materials and devices, and their many applications.
We invite Articles, Letters, Reviews, or Perspectives on all topics relating to biomaterials and bioengineering, including (but not limited to):
- Natural, synthetic, hybrid, and bioinspired materials
- Properties and applications of materials in biology, medicine, agriculture, and veterinary science
- Novel devices, delivery systems, diagnostics, and their applications
- Needs, challenges, and opportunities for the biomaterials and bioengineering communities
We welcome the submission of Articles, Letters, Reviews and Perspectives through 31 March 2023. All articles will be peer reviewed prior to acceptance to ensure they fit the scope of the virtual special issue and meet the high scientific publishing standards of ACS Materials Au. If your paper is accepted, your work will be highlighted as a significant contribution to this growing field of exploration. As ACS Materials Au is a fully open access journal, your paper will be available to anyone, at anytime, anywhere in the world.
Accepted publications will go online as soon as possible after acceptance and be published in the next available issue. In Spring 2023, the publications on this topic will be gathered into a virtual special issue on a dedicated webpage, and be promoted as a collection.
If you have any general questions regarding submission to this virtual special issue, please contact Professor Stephanie Brock.
Article Publishing Charges apply for publication in this fully open access journal, at a special rate of $2300 (for a CC-BY-NC-ND open access license). For information on other discounts and options for authors please visit the ACS Open Science pages.

About the Virtual Special Issue Guest Editors
Maryam Badv is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Calgary. Prof. Badv’s lab pursues the design and synthesis of biomaterials and functional interfaces for different biomedical applications, with a view to understanding the physiological responses and interactions occurring at the interface of the biomaterials and biological systems.
Ali Khademhosseini is the CEO of the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation. Dr. Khademhosseini’s research group uses micro- and nanoscale technologies to develop ‘personalized’ solutions and therapies for organ failure, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. His group is also working at the forefront of engineering artificial tissues and cell-based therapies, developing ‘organ-on-a-chip’ systems to mimic human physiology and pathology, and regulating stem cell differentiation.
Paul S. Weiss is the UC Presidential Chair, Distinguished Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Bioengineering and Distinguished Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles. Prof. Weiss’ interdisciplinary group researches atomic-scale properties of surfaces and supramolecular assemblies, with a view to developing physical models of biological systems, scanning probe microscopy techniques, catalysis, self- and directed assembly, and molecular and nano-scale electronics.
Stephanie L. Brock is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at Wayne State University. Prof. Brock’s research is focused on the synthesis, characterization, properties and applications of porous solids and nanomaterials, for the purpose of advancing technologies such as information storage, sensing, energy conversion/storage and catalysis.
