Is your work a fit? Check before you write

  1. Confirm on the official call page how the Research Topic defines work led by women researchers, for example first or senior authorship.
  2. Present precision medicine research with a clear clinical or translational question.
  3. Validate biomarkers, models or stratification approaches with appropriate methods and cohorts.
  4. Confirm accepted article types and article processing charges on the official call page.
  5. Submit a complete, co-author-approved manuscript before 15 February 2027.

Why This Call Is a Priority Now

Precision medicine aims to match prevention, diagnosis and treatment to the characteristics of individual patients, and progress depends on contributions from a wide range of researchers. Women remain under-represented in many senior scientific roles, and collections that highlight their work help make it more visible to peers, funders and clinicians. This Research Topic gives women-led teams an open access venue within a precision medicine section, alongside the scientific value of contributing to a growing field.

What the Editors Typically Value

  1. Validation studies that move a biomarker or stratification tool closer to clinical use.
  2. Research that considers sex, gender or ancestry differences within precision medicine approaches.
  3. Implementation studies that examine how precision medicine is delivered in routine care.
  4. Methodological work on integrating multi-omic or clinical data for individualised decisions.

Paper Ideas You Could Develop

Pharmacogenomic dosing auditA study evaluating the introduction of pharmacogenomic testing to guide dosing of a commonly prescribed drug in a hospital setting.
Sex-specific biomarker validationA cohort study assessing whether a prognostic biomarker performs differently in women and men with a defined condition.
Equity in genomic testingA review of access to clinical genomic testing across population groups and the implications for equitable precision medicine.
