Aims & Scope

The West Asian Journal of Medical and Biological Sciences (WAJMBS) is an open-access, peer-reviewed international journal that aims to advance and disseminate knowledge at the interface of medicine, biology, and biomedical engineering. WAJMBS provides a forum for researchers, clinicians, and technologists to publish high-quality theoretical, experimental, and application-oriented work in the medical and life sciences.

Primary Aims

  • To publish original research that contributes to the understanding of fundamental biological processes and their translation to medical practice.

  • To promote interdisciplinary studies combining medical science, biochemistry, molecular biology, bioengineering, and computational methods.

  • To foster innovation by presenting novel biomedical technologies, diagnostics, therapeutics, and devices.

  • To provide a platform for both academic scholars and industry practitioners to share findings, case studies, and experience-based insights.

  • To enhance the visibility and impact of research from West Asia and beyond, encouraging global collaboration.
