The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), a professional organisation of life scientists in Europe, has announced the appointment of microbiologist Philippe Sansonetti as new Chief Editor of EMBO Molecular Medicine. Dr Sansonetti, who is the Director of the Molecular Microbial Pathogenesis Laboratory at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, takes up the post with immediate effect.
EMBO Molecular Medicine offers those working at the interface of clinical and basic research a widely visible Open Access forum for publishing high impact research. The journal employs all the EMBO Press transparency policies, including the publication of referee comments alongside editorial and author exchanges, referee-cross commenting and pre-decision author consultation.
Sansonetti has been part of EMBO Molecular Medicine's editorial team since the journal's inception in 2009. As senior editor, he has helped to develop the publication into a premier Open Access journal for translational research. With a global readership ranging from clinicians to molecular biologists, the journal helps to translate research effectively from bench to bedside.
In his new position as Chief Editor, Philippe Sansonetti plans to embrace the advances in molecular medicine in basic and clinical settings.
Sansonetti's predecessor, renowned cardiovascular biologist Dr Stefanie Dimmeler, will continue to serve as Senior Editor for EMBO Molecular Medicine.
