Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering all aspects of the biology of cells, especially their biochemistry and biophysics. It was established in 1979 as Cell Biophysics with Nicholas Catsimpoolas as founding editor-in-chief, obtaining its current name in 1996. The journal is published by Springer Science+Business Media and the editor-in-chief is Lawrence J. Berliner (University of Denver).
