Inaugural Editorial
Authors: Ahmed Naseer 
Published: November 2024

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I write this  editorial for the inaugural edition of the Avicenna Journal of Medical Sciences. I welcome all the readers, authors, editorial team, and support staff of Avicenna Journal of Medical Sciences (AJMS) to a new journal in health sciences. This is an international peer-reviewed, open-access journal that is a platform for bridging basic, molecular, and clinical sciences. This journal promotes translational research to improve evidence-based health care management for better outcomes in diagnosis and therapeutics. AJMS is led by a highly qualified Editorial and Advisory Board comprising of national and international members with multidisciplinary research backgrounds.
We welcome scientific contributions from all over the world, whether they be original studies, review articles, case reports, or systematic reviews either on basic, molecular, experimental, or clinical research. It is high time, we integrate the efforts of basic and clinical researchers together for the benefit of scientific advances. Without a translational approach, true advancement in the healthcare sector is not possible. Furthermore, therapeutic modalities need to be explored on a local, national and international level. An example of this is the investigation of genetic variations that help establish individual identities. The future is in the establishment of genetic libraries for personalized patient care in medicine. Recent times have also focused on innovative solutions for healthcare issues including regenerative medicine, stem cell therapy, exosomes, gene silencing, and gene editing technologies. Globally, as health sciences have been advancing rapidly and AJMS will therefore play an important role in the dissemination of scientific findings to healthcare professionals and the larger community. It shall solve the unsolved problems through the translation of basic research to clinical research.
AJMS is an open-access online journal bringing healthcare to anyone, anytime, anywhere as a fully open-access publication. Our goal is to disseminate research results online and free of cost to readers swiftly. Authors can submit papers for full peer review, receive comments for quick revision turn-around if the paper is deemed suitable for publication, and expect to see the final article online and available for the public to read in far less time than with a conventional journal. AJMS will be the go-to journal for state-of-the-art information on a host of important and highly relevant topics that will help propel healthcare to even further heights.
For all of you interested in and conducting research in molecular, experimental, and clinical research I welcome you to the inaugural journal of Avicenna Journal of Medical Sciences and encourage you to submit, read and refer to our new journal. We are excited to launch this new journal for an area that is growing in importance but that has yet had a top-quality journal dedicated to healthcare professionals. We are very proud to be the founding editors and hope that the community will contribute to its success by submitting their works, and by performing timely and substantive reviews.
Many people have contributed to the launch of AJMS. We are grateful to Prof. Anwar-ul Hasan for his incredible support! We thank the executive members for their guidance particularly Prof. Giuseppe Faggian and Prof. Marti Manyalich. We would also like to thank our publication officer for her excellent and untiring efforts.
