About In-vitro In-vivo In-silico Journal
A multidisciplinary platform bridging experimental biology, computational modeling, and translational research across the life sciences
Advancing Integrative Research Methodologies
In-vitro In-vivo In-silico Journal (IIIJ) is a pioneering multidisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research that employs diverse experimental and computational approaches in the life sciences. Our journal serves as a nexus for researchers utilizing in-vitro (laboratory/cell-based), in-vivo (organism-based), and in-silico (computational modeling) methodologies to address fundamental and applied questions in biology, medicine, pharmacology, and related fields.
IIIJ embraces interdisciplinary scholarship that advances our understanding of biological systems through complementary research strategies. We publish original research, comprehensive reviews, methodological innovations, and case studies that demonstrate the synergy between experimental validation and computational prediction.
Understanding the Three Research Paradigms
The journal's title reflects the three fundamental approaches that drive modern biological research:
Latin for "in glass" - experiments conducted in controlled laboratory environments using cells, tissues, or biomolecules outside their natural biological context, enabling precise manipulation and observation.
Latin for "in the living" - studies performed within whole, living organisms, providing insights into complex biological interactions, physiological responses, and system-level phenomena.
Modern Latin for "in silicon" (computer chips) - computational and mathematical modeling approaches that simulate biological processes, predict outcomes, and guide experimental design.
IIIJ welcomes submissions across a broad spectrum of life sciences disciplines, embracing research that employs any combination of in-vitro, in-vivo, and in-silico methodologies. Our interdisciplinary scope includes but is not limited to:
