Description
Rachel Hackett traces how a disease models journal has supported early-career researchers since its launch, in an editorial from 2025. The journal serves clinicians, basic and translational scientists, patients, and advocates across many diseases and model systems. Its publisher is a not-for-profit biology company.
Support schemes include first-person interviews with new authors, conference travel grants, travelling fellowships, and an annual outstanding paper prize. The editorial gives pride of place to the travel grants, described as hugely popular. Testimonials from grant holders illustrate how small sums unlock conference access and career steps for young scientists.
