This Joint Virtual Special Issue will highlight the latest advancements in the field of drug delivery focusing on how computational methods are being used to overcome some of the most challenging obstacles. Submit your manuscript by September 1, 2024.
The field of drug delivery is constantly evolving, and computational methods have proven to be an invaluable tool in this endeavor. With this special issue, we aim to bring together researchers from different disciplines to share their knowledge and expertise in computational methods and drug delivery.
We are pleased to announce that Bioconjugate Chemistry and Molecular Pharmaceutics and will publish a joint Virtual Special Issue (VSI), “Computational Methods in Drug Delivery.”
We welcome topics including, but not limited to:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Process simulation
- PBPK modeling in drug development
- Biophysics of materials
- Cellular modeling
- General formulation design and delivery
- Permeability, bilayers
- Machine learning for material optimization
- Physics-based simulation for formulation design
- Formulation and delivery of macromolecules

Submission Information
We welcome submissions for this Virtual Special Issue through September 1, 2024.
To learn more about the scope and requirements for this Virtual Special Issue, read the Author Guidelines for each journal below:
The scope and audience of each journal can be found online. Briefly, Bioconjugate Chemistry seeks original contributions on all research at the interface between synthetic and biological materials, while Molecular Pharmaceutics publishes the results of original research that contributes significantly to the molecular mechanistic understanding of drug delivery and drug delivery systems. The journal encourages contributions describing research at the interface of drug discovery and drug development.
Please submit directly to the appropriate journal. These are both hybrid subscription journals, meaning there is no publication fee to the author (also called article processing charge or APC) unless the author elects to purchase open access through our various licensing options. Learn about ACS’s open science initiatives here.
Manuscripts will be processed on a rolling basis to go through peer review. Upon acceptance, each manuscript is published on a rolling basis in a regular issue in each individual journal. Once all papers have been accepted, they will be collected onto a single webpage for additional exposure to each author’s work as a VSI.
