Physiological Measurement, a journal published by IOP Publishing in partnership with the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, has announced the appointment of Professor Randall Moorman as the new Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
Professor Moorman, a clinical cardiologist, is a 1978 graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, and trained in internal medicine and cardiovascular diseases at Duke University where he was Chief Medical Resident in 1982-3. After post-doctoral training at Baylor University in molecular electrophysiology and membrane biophysics, he has been at the University of Virginia since 1990.
Since 2000, the major research effort of his group has been in early detection of subacute potentially catastrophic illnesses using readily available bedside monitoring data. His research has been published in many journals, including Physiological Measurement.
Professor Moorman will start his role as Editor-in-Chief in January 2014, for an initial 3-year term. He succeeds Professor Richard Bayford of Middlesex University, who has been Editor-in-Chief since 2008.
A journal for systems in physiology and medicine, Physiological Measurement bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinic. It is a valuable title for universities with biomedical engineering departments, clinical departments in hospitals, and any group performing physiological measurements or monitoring of patients.
