Biotechnology Journal (BTJ)
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jhome/110544531

Biotechnology Journal (BTJ) is the new, international resource for both biotechnology researchers and professionals in related disciplines. Fully comprehensive in its scope, the journal publishes strictly peer reviewed papers covering novel aspects and methods in all areas of biotechnology, especially those focusing on healthcare, nutrition and technology. Special attention is also paid to the public, legal, ethical and cultural aspects of biotechnological research. Each issue is devoted to a special topic, providing the latest comprehensive information on the most crucial areas of research and technological advances. Alongside each highlighted topic, the journal contains original papers in the form of full papers, short communications and technical reports, illustrating the latest research results. In addition, special review issues bring readers up to date on developments in all areas of biotechnology. Focus:

* Healthcare
Good and long-lasting health is the most important quality in the life of a human being. Modern biotechnology is increasingly contributing to advancing the diagnosis and therapy of diseases, many of which are life threatening or currently incurable. Only biotechnology can transform data from basic science into marketable products. Therefore, healthcare stretches from basic science to product development, clinical testing and modern marketing.

* Nutrition
The growing world population and the demand of the individual for nutritional food requires better crops and new methods of food production and quality control. Increased food production needs to develop in line with environmental protection with respect to biodiversity, soil and water. Such ambitious goals can only be realized by using traditional and molecular biotechnology. Only these techniques can guarantee a food supply that is cheap, tasty and healthy.

* Technology
Technology is the art of transforming theoretical concepts into useful products. Fermentation using living organisms has a long tradition in the production of pharmaceuticals, food and other consumables, but it needs continuous improvement with respect to the organisms used and the technology applied. Only very advanced technology can guarantee that healthcare and nutrition be supplied to many, yet at a fair price. Technology based on chemistry or biology has to be performed in such a way that environmental protection is maximized.
