Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment (B&BE) is an international open access journal publishing cutting-edge research. A modern world requires modern biotechnology and nanobiology. The journal is a forum that provides society with valuable information for a healthy and better life and promotes “the Science and Culture of Nature”.
The journal publishes original research and reviews with a multidisciplinary perspective; expanded case reports with a focus on molecular medical research and advanced practice in evidence-based medicine are also considered.
