A New Pair of Shoes

摘要

Change, though inevitable, can be welcomed as a challenge. In April of 2020, Drs Clive Taylor and Jiang Gu stepped down from their roles as Editors in Chief of this journal. Dr Taylor, who founded Applied Immunohistochemistry in 1993 as the published voice of its sponsoring society, the Society for Applied Immunohistochemistry, and Dr Gu, who developed the journal Cell Vision: Journal of Analytic Morphology in 1994, shared a vision of a publication that would be the journal of choice for those of us interested in immunohistochemistry and morphology-based molecular assays in diagnostic pathology. Through the merger of their journals, first published together in 1999, what we now know as Applied Immunohistochemistry and Molecular Morphology was borne. This journal has been an important resource for investigators and diagnosticians alike and has earned a reputation for excellence under their guidance. With their departure (though they have only travelled a small distance down the masthead, since they remain with the journal as Senior Associate Editors), there seem to be some rather large shoes to fill.
