About the Journal

"Biomedical Research Journal (BRJ)" is a premier peer reviewed open access journal, published by Sunandan Divatia School of Science, NMIMS (Deemed-to-be) University, Mumbai, for promoting interdisciplinary contemporary areas of Basic and Applied Biomedical Science. The goal is to share new discoveries and translational knowledge with scientists, academicians, clinicians and students in the field of Biomedical and Biological/Chemical/ Biotechnology/Stem Cell Biology/Cancer Biology in the realm of basic and applied aspects in the different areas.

BRJ aims at creating a platform to help advance the domains and frontiers of inter- and multi-disciplinary research across the various areas of sciences and recent advances in cross pollination across Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, Physics and Mathematics. Integrative science is the present and future of science, and the various aspects of the journal proposes to highlight and emphasize contemporary technology towards understanding various aspects of the sciences.

The focus areas of BRJ include review articles and original research papers in Cancer biology, Stem cell biology, Nanoscience and Pharmaceutical Science. A rigorous peer review process is implemented to judge the effectiveness, legitimacy and reliability of the research content. The journal is published biannually online as well as print copies.
