Background and Objective
Imaging-based technologies, such as various types of microscopes, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have demonstrated increasing importance for biological and biomedical researches. In the meanwhile, how to accurately and comprehensively extract information from image data remains a great challenge for scientists. This special issue focuses on algorithms, methods, tools and discoveries related to biological and biomedical image data analysis, with a hope to promote biological and biomedical image related researches. 

Subject Coverage: Research papers or reviews describe algorithms, methods, tools and discoveries related to biological and biomedical image data analysis are all welcome.

Quantitative Biology (Editors-in-Chief: Dr. Chao Tang and Dr. Michael Q. Zhang, Executive Editor-in-Chief: Dr. Xuegong Zhang; http://journal.hep.com.cn/qb/EN/2095-4689/home.shtml) is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on significant research that uses quantitative approaches and technologies to analyze and integrate biological systems, construct and model engineered life systems, and to gain a deeper understanding of life sciences. It aims to provide a platform for not only the analysis but also the integration and construction of biological systems. 

Publication and Peer-review Process
All manuscripts are reviewed by the Editorial Board and qualified reviewers. The journal makes the decisions as rapidly as possible, and we strive to return reviewers comments to authors within 3 weeks. All accepted articles will be published online first after proofreading and formatting process. As an incentive, we offer free access and free article-processing.
