Description: The Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary
journal which provides a forum on new perspectives in pediatric and neonatal medicine. The aim is to discuss and
to bring readers up to date on the latest in research and clinical pediatrics and neonatology. Special emphasis is
on the developmental origin of health and disease, perinatal programming and on the so-called ‘-omics’ sciences.
Systems medicine blazes a revolutionary trail from reductionist to holistic medicine, from descriptive medicine to
predictive medicine, from an epidemiological perspective to a personalized approach. The journal will be relevant
to clinicians and researchers concerned with personalized care for newborns and children. Medical humanities
will also be considered in a tailored way.
