About the Journal

Advancing Health Through Translation: Connecting molecular insights with clinical and global solutions.

Emerging Frontiers in Translational Biomedicine and Health Sciences provides a dynamic platform for research that moves beyond theory to real-world application where molecular science, clinical medicine, and population health intersect. We are committed to advancing the translation of knowledge across disciplines, ensuring that discoveries in the laboratory evolve into innovations that improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. For us, translation is more than the act of communicating science; it is a continuous exchange of ideas, evidence, and practice that drives meaningful progress in global health. Through open access publishing and rigorous peer review, EFTBHS empowers researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to collaborate in shaping a healthier, more equitable world.

About the Journal

1. Overview

Emerging Frontiers in Translational Biomedicine and Health Sciences (EFTBHS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing the transformation of biomedical discoveries into tangible improvements in public and clinical health outcomes.
The journal serves as a platform for interdisciplinary research linking laboratory innovations, computational biology, and clinical applications with community and global health impact. Our guiding philosophy is to accelerate the translation of research findings from bench to bedside to achieve tangible community impact.

EFTBHS is published under the auspices of the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria, and managed by an independent editorial board of experienced scholars, clinicians, and researchers. The journal welcomes submissions from scientists, health professionals, and policy experts worldwide.

2. Aims and Scope

EFTBHS publishes original research, reviews, short communications, perspectives, and policy analyses covering the broad spectrum of translational and biomedical sciences.
Core thematic areas include, but are not limited to:

  • Interdisciplinary and translational research

  • Systems biology and bioinformatics

  • Reproductive, maternal, neonatal, and child health (RMNCH)

  • Environmental and occupational health

  • Global health and infectious diseases

  • Artificial intelligence in health sciences

  • Biomedical imaging and diagnostics

  • Precision medicine and molecular pathophysiology
