Professor Martin Yarmush has been appointed Editor-in-Chief for Medical Sciences of a new international journal entitled, NanoLIFE. The journal addresses critical issues in nanoscience and nanomedicine that impact both the scientific community and the general public. NanoLIFE aims to reach researchers in a broad spectrum disciplines including materials, chemical, biological and medical sciences, and engineering. It will also highlight breaking trends in these fields, and hopefully cultivate a new integrated community with shared interests in frontier research and higher education.
