Bioelectronic Medicine is an open access, peer reviewed and relatively young journal published by the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research (in New York, NJ, USA) on BMC’s platform (part of Springer Nature): https://bioelecmed.biomedcentral.com. The journal brings together material science, molecular medicine, bioengineering, neuroscience, computer science and other related disciplines focused on new insights into the role of the nervous system in disease and health, and the importance of discovering new molecular mechanisms and technologies to treat disease. The journal has an expanded community and multidisciplinary audience from healthcare, technology and scientific research. Specialists come from fields such as neuroscience, biology, bioengineering, electronics, computing, data analytics, molecular medicine, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and personalized medicine and is extremely important in the upcoming domain of bioelectronic medicine, also known as electroceuticals, the electronic counterparts of pharmaceuticals.

At the core of bioelectronic medicine is the electrical signal used by the nervous system to communicate information. Virtually every cell in the body is directly or indirectly controlled by these neural signals. Bioelectronic medicine technologies can record, stimulate and block neural signaling. Through its ability to manipulate neural signals, bioelectronic medicine will change the way physicians treat diseases and conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, diabetes, paralysis, bleeding and even cancer.

All articles published by Bioelectronic Medicine are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers, supporting an Open Access policy.

Dr. Vasiliki Giagka (Group Technologies for Bioelectronics, Department of System Integration and Interconnection Technologies, Fraunhofer IZM and Section Bioelectronics, Department Microelectronics, TU Delft) has been invited to the editorial board of Bioelectronic Medicine for her expertise in fabrication, microsystem integration and packaging for neural implants. She currently is one of the youngest associate editors of the journal.
