About the journal
With the rapid growth in Asian bioscience, we perceived the need for a high standard international and regional biomedical publication in English. Such a new journal should offer a platform for manuscripts dealing with Asian issues and offer doctoral candidates a forum where for publishing their research results.
We reorganized the 50 plus year old Chulalongkorn Medical Journal with an international editorial board to be newly published as "Asian Biomedicine (Research, Reviews and News). This journal will solicit review papers, original articles, technical and clinical reports, letters to editor, and significant news from the scientific community. The journal is distributed worldwide. No page-charge is levied on authors (or institutions), and twenty-five copies of reprints are free of charge. We hope to create an Asian quality journal that publishes papers from the wide spectrum of human and veterinary clinical and biological sciences. The first bimonthly issue was to be published in June 2007.
Asian Biomedicine © 2009 is published by the Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand.
