Cellular Microbiology & Systems Microbiology

The focus is the host cell responses elicited by the interaction of micro-organisms. Equal emphasis is placed on responses to prokaryotic, viral and eukaryotic micro-organisms. In addition to mammalian systems, papers addressing other hosts such as plants and insects are strongly encourage. Systems biology is a rapidly expanding discipline fueled by the 'omics era and new technological advances that have increased the precision of data obtainable.
