JPM is a new international, open access journal aimed at bringing all
aspects of personalized medicine to one platform. JPM publishes cutting
edge, innovative preclinical and translational scientific research and
technologies related to personalized medicine (e.g., pharmacogenomics/
proteomics, systems biology). JPM recognizes that personalized medicine –
the assessment of genetic, environmental and host factors that cause
variability of individuals – is a challenging, transdisciplinary topic that
requires discussions from a range of experts. For a comprehensive
perspective of personalized medicine, JPM aims to integrate expertise
from the molecular and translational sciences, therapeutics and diagnostics,
as well as discussions of regulatory, social, ethical and policy aspects.
We provide a forum to bring together academic and clinical researchers,
biotechnology, diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies, health
professionals, regulatory and ethical experts, and government and
regulatory authorities.
MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see “2010 Newly Released Impact Factors”,
