Why another journal?
Journal Title: Biology and Medicine - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
It is indeed a great pleasure to launch a new online journal ‘Biology and Medicine' from the Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University. The demanding field of life sciences, including its tools and techniques has its equally important applications in solving medical and biological problems which have eluded us despite the growing advancements in molecular biology and bioinformatics. Molecular medicine and molecular ecology both attract the geneticists, genome biologists and computational biologists. This only speaks of the rich complexity of living forms, the environment and Nature. Advancements in neuroscience, cancer biology, developmental biology and environmental science will raise new questions and problems that will envisage a further paradigm shift in life science research (systems biology & integrative biology).
