Roberts Best Paper Prize 2022

Physics in Medicine & Biology (PMB), in association with the journal owners, the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), jointly award this prize in honour of the first editor of PMB, John Roberts, who served from 1956 to 1960. The 2022 best paper is presented to authors, Jungwook Shin, Shu Xing, Lucas McCullum, Abdelkhalek Hammi, Jennifer Pursley, Camilo A Correa, Julia Withrow, Sean Domal, Wesley Bolch, Harald Paganetti and Clemens Grassberger, for their paper HEDOS&mdashXa computational tool to assess radiation dose to circulating blood cells during external beam radiotherapy based on whole-body blood flow simulations.

Welcome to Katia Parodi, new Editor-in-Chief of Physics in Medicine & Biology.

We welcome PMB's new Editor-in-Chief, Professor Katia Parodi of Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich. "It is a great honour to become the new Editor-in-Chief of PMB...we will do our best to continue expanding the scope of the journal with exciting new trends, while preserving well established topical areas, focusing on therapeutic procedures and medical imaging. Our mission is to attract ground-breaking papers and offer the best experience to our authors and readers for a rapid and broad dissemination of cutting-edge physics research for medicine, physiology and biology".
