Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine

Abstract

This issue sees the launch of a new look and philosophy to publishing research in the broad area of mathematical modelling in medicine.In its previous format, the "Journal of Theoretical Medicine" aimed to provide a forum for the dissemination of original research emanating from collaborations between theoreticians and experimentalists.While the Journal has run successfully since 1997, it has become apparent in recent years that the broad umbrella of theoretical medicine has expanded and diversified to incorporate not only areas of traditional mathematical biology but also into areas such as proteomics and systems biology.In addition, this activity has called for a deeper understanding of mathematical models and the techniques used for their analysis.
