Aims and Scope
Research that individualizes care
IJPM is a clinical personalized-medicine journal that also includes basic, molecular, biomarker and translational research. It considers work in the areas below, and clinical studies of diagnosis, treatment and patient management are in scope.
Clinical studies
Studies of diagnosis, treatment and patient management that apply personalized and precision approaches.
Biomarker discovery and validation
Genetic, proteomic, metabolomic and genomic markers of susceptibility, drug response and outcome, with analytical and cohort validation.
Molecular profiling
Multi-omic characterization and signatures for patient stratification.
Pharmacogenomics
Variants that affect drug metabolism, efficacy and toxicity.
Precision diagnostics
Sequencing assays, liquid biopsy and other molecular testing platforms, and the development of new assays.
Computational and predictive models
Statistical and machine-learning models built on clinical and molecular data.
Basic and molecular research
Mechanistic studies that underpin individualized care.
Translational research
Work that carries discovery into clinical application, including biostatistics and regulatory science.
These areas are illustrative. Read the full Aims and Scope.
