The intersection of physics and medicine has long been a fertile ground for innovation, with advances in one field driving breakthroughs in the other. In recent years, the emergence of modern biophysical techniques has provided a toolbox for understanding complex physiological processes across scales. These tools have the potential to revolutionize medical practice, from diagnosis to therapy. However, despite this immense potential, the path from basic biophysical research to clinical translation remains fraught with challenges. This review aims to highlight emerging biophysical tools and their potential applications in medical physics, with a focus on how these innovations can be translated into clinical solutions. We outline a strategic roadmap for bridging the gap between cutting-edge biophysics research and its effective integration into clinical settings, ensuring that these technologies can meaningfully transform patient care.

ACS Bio & Med Chem Au is a broad scope, open access journal, which publishes short letters, comprehensive articles, reviews, and perspectives in all aspects of biological and medicinal chemistry. Studies providing fundamental insights or describing novel syntheses, as well as clinical or other applications-based work, are welcomed.

This broad scope includes experimental and theoretical studies on the chemical, physical, mechanistic, and/or structural basis of biological or cell function in all domains of life. It encompasses the fields of chemical biology, synthetic biology, disease biology, cell biology, agriculture and food, natural products research, nucleic acid biology, neuroscience, structural biology, and biophysics.

The journal publishes studies that pertain to a broad range of medicinal chemistry, including compound design and optimization, biological evaluation, molecular mechanistic understanding of drug delivery and drug delivery systems, imaging agents, and pharmacology and translational science of both small and large bioactive molecules. Novel computational, cheminformatics, and structural studies for the identification (or structure-activity relationship analysis) of bioactive molecules, ligands, and their targets, are also welcome. The journal will consider computational studies applying established computational methods, but only in combination with novel and original experimental data (e.g., in cases where new compounds have been designed and tested).

Also included in the scope of the journal are articles relating to infectious diseases research on pathogens, host-pathogen interactions, therapeutics, diagnostics, vaccines, drug-delivery systems, and other biomedical technology development pertaining to infectious diseases.
