New NPG journal for mucosal immunology

Nature Publishing Group and the Society for Mucosal Immunology (SMI) are embarking on a new publishing partnership this autumn, with the launch of a new publication, Mucosal Immunology.

The Editor-in Chief of Mucosal Immunology will be Dr Brian Kelsall of the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The journal will aim to provide a forum for both basic and clinical scientists to discuss all aspects of immunity and inflammation that involve mucosal tissues. "Mucosal Immunology will be the first journal dedicated to this field of science. I am greatly looking forward to collaborating with NPG on this important project," said DrKelsall.

Mucosal immunology research has the aim of understanding diseases such as AIDS, asthma and inflammatory bowel disease. The journal will be devoted to publishing high-quality original research, reviews, commentaries, editorials and letters that reflect the interests of scientists studying gastrointestinal, pulmonary, nasopharyngeal, oral, ocular and genitourinary immunology. In addition, Mucosal Immunology aims to provide a primary method of communication for the SMI governing board and its members through the publication of society news, announcements of planned meetings and conferences, discussions of policy concerns and advertisements for job and training opportunities.
