Aims and Scope of American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology
The American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal and an official publication of the American Thoracic Society. It covers research on the structure and function of the respiratory system under physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions. It was established in July 1989. The founding editors-in-chief were Jerome S. Brody, Robert M. Senior, and Mary C. Williams. John A. Mcdonald served as editor from 1993 to 1998. Kenneth B. Adler (North Carolina State University) served as editor from 2009-2016. Paul Schumacker (Northwestern University) assumed the editorship on October 1, 2016. Less
