The HFSP Journal aims to publish high quality, innovative interdisciplinary basic research at the frontier of biology over a wide range of organizational levels (from the molecular level to population biology) using principles strategies or technologies from the more quantitative disciplines (e.g. physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, or informatics).

The goal of the HFSP Journal is to foster communication between the different disciplines of research, thus furthering 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.
