Advancing Healthcare Research with ACS Journals

Trusted Science at the Core of Biomedical and Healthcare Research

ACS e-Alerts

Breakthroughs Begin with ACS Publications

Modern biomedical and healthcare research stands at the intersection of disciplines—oncology, toxicology, pharmacology, biomedical engineering, infectious disease, environmental exposures, and more. At the heart of each is one unifying truth. Every biological process, disease mechanism, therapeutic pathway, and diagnostic innovation is chemical at its core.

ACS Publications, the publishing division of the American Chemical Society, publishes the world’s most influential, rigorously reviewed research in the chemical sciences. This content fuels discovery across the full continuum of clinical, applied, and translational science.

Support Every Discipline of Biomedical and Healthcare Research

Oncology & Therapeutic Development
In oncology and therapeutic development, ACS journals support researchers designing targeted therapies, studying resistance pathways, and optimizing drug candidates. These publications provide the molecular insight needed to advance precision oncology and accelerate the translation of promising compounds into clinical practice.

Explore the DNA-encoded Libraries (DELs) in Drug Discovery special issue and experience the leading-edge insights found in ACS journals.
Infectious Disease & Antimicrobial Resistance
Researchers tackling infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance depend on ACS journals for insight into pathogen biology, antiviral and antibiotic design, infection control, and resistance mechanisms. This content helps research teams stay ahead of evolving threats and inform the development of more effective, durable treatments.

Explore the 5 Years of COVID Research special issue and experience the real-world relevance of ACS journals.
Diagnostics, Imaging & Medical Devices
From molecular diagnostics and imaging agents to device surfaces and sensing platforms, ACS journals deliver the chemical science that underpins modern diagnostic medicine. Researchers rely on ACS content to advance biomarker discovery, biosensor design, imaging probe development, and functional materials for medical devices—supporting earlier detection, more precise diagnostics, and improved clinical reliability.

Explore the Advances in Magnetic Resonance Imaging special issue and experience the method-rich research found in ACS journals.
Materials Science, Biomaterials, & Drug Delivery
Healthcare innovation in biomaterials and drug delivery depends on
understanding how materials interact with tissues, degrade, and release
therapeutics. ACS journals offer leading research on polymers, nanoparticles,
hydrogels, and implantable materials that drive advances in regenerative
medicine and targeted delivery.

Explore the Intratumoral Immunotherapy with Nanoparticles special issue and experience the authoritative expertise of ACS journals.
Chemical Biology & Molecular Mechanisms
In chemical biology and molecular mechanism research, ACS journals help scientists decode the biochemical processes that underlie disease. These publications illuminate protein–ligand interactions, signaling pathways, enzymatic activity, and metabolic regulation, all insights that guide target identification and therapeutic strategy.

Explore the Peptide Conjugation and Delivery special issue and experience the transformative impact of ACS journals.
Toxicology, Pharmacology, & Exposure Science
Researchers working in toxicology, pharmacology, and exposure science rely on ACS journals for insight into drug metabolism, safety assessment, and chemical–biological interactions. ACS journals help teams evaluate therapeutic windows, understand adverse effects, and make evidence-based decisions that support patient safety.

Explore the Immunotherapy of Cancer special issue and experience the uncompromising rigor of ACS journals.

Multidisciplinary Solutions

Many ACS journals are multidisciplinary and therefore are not included in our sample subject-area list. Even our specialized journals cover topics that support, or are supported by, a broad array of research areas. Consider the challenge of creating environmentally friendly surgical tools. There are many ways to accomplish this, and solutions can be found in journals covering pure chemistry, metallics, plastics, environmental science, materials science, and more.

More than one ACS journal could hold the answer you need. That’s why we provide numerous flexible options to support organizations of all types and sizes.
