Surgery, Gastroenterology and Oncology

Starting with this issue "Annals of Fundeni Hospital", founded in 1996 as the scientific journal of the prestigious hospital Fundeni becomes "Journal of Translational Medicine and Research" (JTMR), an Journal of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Romania.


Therefore, an 18 years old Journal, attested and indexed in Elsevier Bibliographic Databases, Amsterdam and also indexed in SCOPUS, is continuing a tradition of excellence that lasted almost two decades.


The new title of the Journal is inspired first of all from the important developments of translational research In Fundeni Clinical Institute and the "C.C Iliescu Institute for Cardio-Vascular Diseases", in parallel with the national and international trend to promote and develop this important area or medical research.

Although devoted mainly to translational research, JTMR will continue to promote both basic and clinical research.
Being an official Journal of the Academy the Editorial Board has been enlarged, including members of this Institution. The content will try also to reflect in the future this new affiliation and the members of the Academy are kindly invited to submit papers.
At this new beginning we express our sincere hope that the new (but quite "old" at the same time) Journal will be an useful tool for the Romanian medical scientists and will continue to serve the medical community at large.
