Integration of AI/ML Approaches in Mathematical Biology and Ecology for Sustainable Development

The accelerating global challenges in health, environment, and sustainability demand innovative analytical tools that can model, predict, and optimize complex biological and ecological systems. Mathematical biology and ecology provide rigorous theoretical frameworks for understanding such systems, yet their nonlinear and data-rich nature often makes analytical or closed-form modeling difficult. With the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), researchers now have access to powerful data-driven tools capable of learning complex dynamics, identifying... see more

Multi-Omics and Multimodal Data Fusion in Drug Discovery: From Target Identification to Personalized Therapy

Modern drug discovery faces systemic challenges in combating complex diseases, whose mechanisms involve interactive networks across genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and other molecular layers. Single-omics or conventional approaches often fail to capture this complexity comprehensively. This thematic issue explores strategies for integrating multi-omics data (including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and epigenomics) with multimodal information such as chemical structures, bioactivity profiles, clinical phenotypes, imaging features, and real-world data. By leveraging advanced data fusion techniques​(e.g., graph neural... see more
