The future of nano and micromaterials for healthcare, described by Ali Khademhosseini and Nicholas Peppas as part of an Advanced Healthcare Materials special issue.
Lorna Stimson
Lorna Stimson studied chemistry at the University of Durham before carrying out postdoctoral research at the Helsinki University of Technology. She joined Wiley in 2007 and was the first Editor of the online version of MaterialsViews, the predecessor to Advanced Science News. Lorna is responsible for a cluster of journals at the intersection of materials and life science. She is Editor-in-Chief of Advanced Healthcare Materials and the new journal, Advanced Biosystems, as well as the journals Proteomics and Proteomics - Clinical Applications. Lorna is also Deputy Editor for Advanced Materials and part of the Advanced Science editorial team.
