The HFSP Journal publishes high quality, innovative research at the frontier of biology with an emphasis on interdisciplinary research at the interface between the life sciences and the more quantitative sciences.

The goal of the HFSP Journal is to further the mission of the Human Frontier Science Program. It should be stressed, however, that the HFSP Journal is independent from the Human Frontier Science Program Organization and that submission to the HFSP Journal is open to all and that it is not restricted to awardees of HFSP grants and fellowships.

A truly interdisciplinary reviewing process: 'the reviewers' comments were unusually insightful and useful - spanning from mistakes in equations and other typos, to interesting suggestions for discussion. As an author I can say that this is really a very encouraging start for a new journal', Prof. Dan S. Tawfik from the Weizmann Institute of Science's department of Biological Chemistry in Rehovot, Israel explains.
