History
The journal was first published in 1979 under the title Journal of Applied Biochemistry (ISSN 0161-7354) by Academic Press, and assumed its present title in 1986. In 1993, publication was taken over by Portland Press (part of the Biochemical Society). Originally publishing papers in general applied biochemistry, the journal changed its scope to focus on diagnostics and therapeutics. From 2007 to 2010, there were nine print issues per year, in three volumes, with monthly online issues.
From January 2011, the journal has been published by Wiley-Blackwell. The publication frequency decreased to six times a year.
Former Editors-in Chief include Peter Campbell (University College London, UK) (before 1996), Roger Lundblad (formerly of Baxter Biotech, Duarte, USA) (1996–2002), and Parviz A. Shamlou (Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, USA) (2003–2012).
