<p>A new journal has been launched by Barcaray Publishing: Journal of Advanced Therapies and Medical Innovation Sciences (J.ATAMIS, www.j-atamis.org). This journal fills a crucial gap in the literature – and in the cycle of advances in medical science, therapeutics and devices - covering the pipeline from idea through proof of concept studies and start-up funding to regulatory approval. It will be multi-disciplinary and unusually we will have significant input from funders - both angel and venture capital-, start-up CEO’s, and regulators as well as medical scientists and triallists. We have quite frankly a stellar editorial board, with leading lights of biotechnology, medical devices, new and established pharma as well as the “other side”, CEO’s and investors. </p>
