As the beginning of a new century, there is a need to promote scientific and technological development applicable to the entire community, only possible if research is primarily devoted to solving the basic problems and the financial gains are, instead of being the goal, only the means to sustain research. Scientific knowledge and technological capacity should be translated into practical applications for clinicians which in turn will be applicable to the population. New information and capacities can be transferred to teaching programs to prepare new health technicians.

Experimental Pathology and Health Sciences Journal belonging to the Portuguese Experimental Pathology Association means to be a forum to bring together scientists, clinicians and those who can voice health social problems. Our objective is to contribute to pluritranslational health work and in so doing provide better conditions for our citizens.
