About the Journal
Integrated Health Research Journal is a multidisciplinary health science journal published by the College of Health and Allied Sciences, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana. It publishes full-length, original research reports, reviews, and preliminary communications or letters to the editor that fall within the general scope of clinical and basic medicine, biomedical sciences, and pharmacy.
The journal welcomes cutting-edge research across the full spectrum of health sciences, with core focus areas including: Infectious Diseases (encompassing emerging pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and pandemic preparedness); Immunology (spanning fundamental mechanisms, vaccine development, and immunotherapies); Pharmaceutical Sciences (from computational drug design and nanomedicine to clinical translation and pharmacovigilance); Oncology (advancing precision medicine, tumor microenvironment studies, and novel therapeutic modalities); Human Genetics & Genomics (including gene editing technologies, epigenetic regulation, and personalized medicine approaches); Neglected Tropical Diseases (emphasizing innovative diagnostics and treatment strategies); Nutritional Science (investigating nutrigenomics, microbiome interactions, and metabolic health); Epidemiology (integrating novel data science methods with traditional population health studies); Molecular Medicine (covering structural biology, proteomics, and synthetic biology applications); Nursing & Allied Health Research (focusing on healthcare delivery innovations and patient outcomes); Neurological Disorders (elucidating neurodegenerative mechanisms and therapeutic targets); and Cardiovascular Research (exploring regenerative therapies, disease biomarkers, and digital health technologies). Interdisciplinary submissions are particularly encouraged in emerging domains such as AI/ML-driven healthcare solutions, regenerative medicine, organ-on-chip systems, exposomics, and global health equity initiatives.
Brief reports of meetings, symposia, and conferences will also be considered for publication, as well as brief listings of scientific meetings.
