EMBO Molecular Medicine?is the top open access journal in the field of experimental medicine dedicated to science at the interface between translational and clinical research and basic life sciences. We welcome original studies performed in cells and/or animals provided that they demonstrate evident human disease relevance. We encourage submissions of first-in-human studies and analyses of patient samples.

The journal is one of four EMBO Press journals run by in-house professional scientific editors.?EMBO Molecular Medicine?is supported by our academic Chief Editor, Prof. Philippe Sansonetti, nine academic Senior Editors and our broad and diverse advisory editorial board (https://www.embopress.org/page/journal/17574684/editors).
