10 January 2025
AXREM is delighted to congratulate Professor Stuart Taylor on his appointment as the new Editor-in-Chief (Medical) of The British Journal of Radiology (BJR), effective 1 January 2025. Professor Taylor, is based at the Centre for Medical Imaging, University College London in the UK. He also serves as an NIHR Senior Investigator and Chair of the National NIHR Imaging Group. His impressive research portfolio includes advancements in imaging technologies, with a particular focus on CT colonography, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, and colorectal diagnosis and staging.
Reflecting on his new role, Professor Stuart Taylor said, “Medical publishing is rapidly evolving with new challenges but many opportunities. BJR is the oldest radiological journal in the world, and I am very much looking forward to carrying on the excellent work of my predecessor, Dr Simon Jackson, in keeping the journal at the cutting edge of imaging science.”
Farewell Dr Simon Jackson
AXREM also extends its heartfelt appreciation to Dr Simon Jackson, who steps down after an exceptional tenure as Editor-in-Chief (Medical) over the past eight years. Dr Jackson has been a pivotal leader, dedicating over 14 years of service to the BJR Editorial Board. His expert guidance and supportive leadership have been instrumental in steering the journal to continued success. We wish him the very best in all his future endeavours.
Dr Simon Jackson reflected on his time with BJR, saying, “It has been an honour serving as BJR Editor-in-Chief (Medical) during the past eight years. I offer my heartfelt thanks to the BJR Editorial Board and Editorial Office team for helping to steer the journal on an upward trajectory. I also deeply appreciate the hard work of our editors, reviewers, and authors in ensuring the continued success of the journal. Last, but by no means least, I offer my full support as Professors Stuart Taylor and Andy Nisbet commence an exciting next chapter of BJR.”
Working Together
Professor Taylor will work closely with Professor Andrew Nisbet, who continues in his role as Editor-in-Chief (Scientific). Together, they will guide the journal’s strategic direction, ensuring BJR maintains its position at the forefront of imaging science.
AXREM looks forward to witnessing the continued growth and innovation of BJR under their leadership.
