Microbiology Horizons

Microbiology Horizons has a pioneering vision to advance microbiology through AI by unifying experimental and computational innovations to study, understand, predict, and engineer microbial systems across scales: from molecules to communities to the environments they shape.

The synergism between the AI and microbiology has the potential to redefine how we understand and address global challenges, from health to climate, by opening entirely new frontiers of knowledge and innovation. Artificial intelligence adds a complementary layer, enabling a 360-degree analysis that connects microbiology with One Health, planetary health, climate research, and environmental data. This integration does not simply provide new insights but creates a pioneering framework for anticipating future risks, guiding preventive rather than reactive interventions, and designing sustainable solutions that can transform the way societies respond to global change.

This new multidisciplinary journal will take a challenge-focused multi-scale and multi-modal approach, built around important societal and research issues and how they map across microbiology. The journal will provide a platform to discuss the development of new technologies and solutions based on microbiology, the integration of artificial intelligence and data science into microbial research pipelines, advances in science and technology that further advance the field, as well as the vital role of microbiology in addressing the global Sustainable Development Goals.
