Editorial Special Section on Engineering Sciences in Biology and Medicine

Engineering Sciences for Biology and Medicine (ESBM) is an exciting platform for researchers to discuss a wide range of modern biology and medicine goals. The third edition ESBM 2017 conference was organized by the Tunisian Association of Academic Researchers ATCU, in collaboration with the Technopark of Sfax and the Digital Research Centre of Sfax from May 4–7’ 2017 in Sfax, Tunisia. This conference encourages the scientific interactions among researchers to share their ideas and approaches on all aspects of glitches in biology and medicine. Editors thank all the participants for their contributions, that are greatly appreciated. This special section consists of selected peer-reviewed papers on 1) Nanobiotechnology and Nanomedicine, 2) Systems Biology and Forensics, 3) Health Data & Models, 4) Health Data Processing, 5) Devices, Infrastructure & Communication, and 6) e-Health Services and Applications that highlight current developments. The ESBM 2017 conference received a total of 22 research articles from about 100 authors from nine different countries. The committee accepted 45% of the papers based on peer reviewers’ recommendations. Finally, a total of ten papers were selected for publication in IEEE Transactions on Nanobioscience after further IEEE independent peer review.
