Biophysical Journal

The Biophysical Journal is the journal of the Biophysical Society published by Cell Press. The society comprises chemists, biochemists, and physical chemists, biologists, neuroscientists, plant and animal physiologists, engineers, mathematicians, and physicists. These scientists use experimental and theoretical approaches to develop new methods for addressing the mechanisms of biological processes at every level and across many fields, encompassed in the larger arena of biophysics.

The Biophysical Journal published its first issue in September, 1960. It is currently published biweekly, for a total of 24 issues per year. In addition, an Abstracts Issue is published as a supplement to the Journal, containing abstracts of presentations at the Biophysical Society meeting.

Edward Egelman is editor-in-chief of the Biophysical Journal.
