The Journal of Precision Microbiome Therapeutics (JPMT) invites researchers worldwide to submit high-quality original research, critical reviews, systematic reviews, methodological studies, perspectives, and translational research addressing the emerging science of microbiome-based therapeutics.
JPMT is a specialist international journal focused on the scientific continuum connecting:
Microbiome Biology → Mechanism → Therapeutic Target → Intervention → Precision → Preclinical Validation → Clinical Translation → Patient Outcome
We particularly welcome studies that move beyond descriptive microbiome profiling and provide mechanistic insight, therapeutic development, precision stratification, or clinically relevant translation.
Priority Research Areas
JPMT welcomes submissions addressing:
- Microbiome mechanisms and therapeutic targets
- Host–microbiome and microbe–microbe interactions
- Microbial metabolites and signalling
- Live biotherapeutic products
- Next-generation probiotics
- Defined microbial consortia
- Microbiome-derived therapeutics and postbiotics
- Bacteriophage-based microbiome modulation
- Pharmacomicrobiomics
- Drug–microbiome interactions
- Microbiome-mediated drug efficacy and toxicity
- Microbiome engineering and synthetic biology
- Engineered microorganisms and programmable microbial systems
- Precision microbiome medicine
- Microbiome biomarkers and patient stratification
- Microbiome–immune interactions
- Cancer immunotherapy and the microbiome
- AI and machine learning for microbiome therapeutics
- Multi-omics and computational therapeutic discovery
- Clinical trials of microbiome-based interventions
- Microbiome therapeutic safety and efficacy
- Regulatory and translational science
What We Are Looking For
JPMT particularly encourages submissions that demonstrate one or more of the following:
- causal or mechanistic insight;
- identification or validation of therapeutic targets;
- development of novel therapeutic interventions;
- engineering of microbial systems;
- clinically relevant biomarkers;
- rigorous computational or AI methodology;
- independent validation;
- translational significance;
- reproducible and transparent methodology.
Descriptive microbiome studies without a meaningful mechanistic, therapeutic, methodological, biomarker, or translational advance are generally outside the journal's primary focus.

All submissions are subject to the journal's standard editorial assessment and peer-review procedures.
A Commitment to Scientific Rigor
JPMT is committed to rigorous peer review, research integrity, transparent reporting, reproducibility, responsible use of artificial intelligence, and editorial independence.
Submission to the journal does not guarantee acceptance. Invited manuscripts are subject to the same scientific and ethical standards as other submissions.
International Community
JPMT welcomes contributions from researchers, clinicians, biotechnology and pharmaceutical scientists, computational researchers, and translational investigators worldwide.
We invite researchers working across microbiology, microbiome science, immunology, pharmacology, synthetic biology, systems biology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, drug development, and clinical medicine to contribute to the development of this emerging field.
