CHEM & BIO ENGINEERING

Chemical and biological engineering researchers aim to help address society’s most pressing challenges towards developing efficient, environmentally sustainable solutions for manufacturing, energy production, materials engineering, and advanced healthcare. The field shows the power of innovative, interdisciplinary research to provide inspirational and actionable solutions. Chem & Bio Engineering aims to be the premier journal for chemical and biological engineers to publish cutting-edge, open access research that can help build a cleaner, more efficient, sustainable world.

Published content includes research articles, letters, reviews, perspectives, viewpoints, commentaries, and editorials — all rigorously and efficiently peer-reviewed to validate findings and help authors contribute their best work.

The journal is published in collaboration with Zhejiang University, China, which has a long history and prominent reputation for scholarly excellence in chemistry. Editor-in-Chief Qilong Ren, Ph.D., a Qiushi-Distinguished Professor at Zhejiang University, has a notable career in academic research and engineering practice with a focus on chemical separation technology.

We invite you to submit your research for consideration. Article publishing charges for manuscripts submitted by December 31, 2026, are covered by the journal if the manuscripts are accepted after peer review.
