The International Society for Heart and Transplantation, which publishes the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, has announced the appointment of Dr. Daniel R. Goldstein, as the new editor-in-chief of the Journal. Dr. Goldstein’s first issue as editor-in-chief will be the January, 2021, issue of the JHLT.
Dr. Goldstein is the Eliza Maria Mosher Collegiate Professor in Internal Medicine and Director of the Michigan Biology of Cardiovascular Aging at the University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Mich., US. He also serves as a Research Professor for the Institute of Gerontology. As the editor-in-chief of the journal, Dr. Goldstein will build on JHLT's position as the premier translational medicine journal in all areas related to advanced lung disease and extracorporeal support; advanced heart failure and mechanical circulatory support; lung and heart transplantation and pulmonary hypertension; ensuring a rapid, thorough and thoughtful review process; and enhancing the publication’s social and digital media presence.
Dr. Goldstein will take over from longtime editor, Dr. Mandeep R. Mehra, the William Harvey Distinguished Chair in Advanced Cardiovascular Medicine and professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School who is also the founding medical director of the Brigham Heart and Vascular Center. Dr. Mehra led the Journal through a period of significant growth and impact. Under his leadership, the Journal’s impact factor rose to 8.578 (2018), the highest of any global journal in transplantation or sub-specialty in surgery.
Dr. Goldstein founded the Goldstein Lab at Yale University to examine the role of the innate immune system immune system in organ transplantation.
