onsibilities of Professor Lei and the Asian EBM office will be increasing the visibility of EBM and SEBM throughout the Asia Pacific scientific and academic communities.

Professor Lei, and his assistant, will also assist Asian authors in crafting manuscripts that have the highest probability of success.

NCKU is one of the largest, oldest, and most prestigious universities in Taiwan. It has 9 colleges, spanning engineering to the social sciences and 22,000 students.

Dr. Goodman stated The establishment of our Asian Editor Professor Lei, and the Asian EBM office, is the first step in our globalization plan for EBM and SEBM. We have begun the process of developing a similar Editor position and office in Europe. In discussing the impact of these announcements upon EBM and the SEBM Dr. Burt Sobel, President of SEBM, stated "Under the vigorous and creative leadership of Dr. Steven R Goodman, the Editor-in Chief of Experimental Biology and Medicine, the journal of the Society of Experimental Biology and Medicine, the scope of the journal and of the society itself is expanding profoundly.
