The European Biophysics Journal is an international journal that focuses on the study of biological phenomena using physical methods and concepts.
- Advances understanding of biological structure, dynamics and function by applying physical science principles.
- Covers diverse areas including structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules, membrane biophysics, cell biophysics, and more.
- Welcomes submissions of methods, software and databases that are new or substantially improves existing approaches.
- Presents work in a biophysical context.
- Published on behalf of the European Biophysical Societies’ Association.

Publish all your biophysical work. EBJ’s primary goal is to advance the understanding of all areas of biophysics, whether that advance is fundamental or more incremental.
- Regular articles publish solid, original advances,
- Biophysics Letters offer accelerated publication for significant advances.
- Methodology Articles provide wide exposure for new techniques, both experimental and theory/simulation.
- Reviews present a critical overview of the past, present and future of an area in biophysics.
Free publications (no page charges) with an Open Access option.
EBJ is a journal for all scientists who attempt to understand biology from a physics perspective, whether using experiments of theory/simulation or whether studying the molecular scale or entire systems.
