Nature Reviews' basic, translational and clinical content is written by internationally renowned basic and clinical academics and researchers and targeted towards readers in the biological and medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practising doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any biological or medical discipline.

In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives, News & Views and comment articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general journals.

Chief Editor: Susan Allison, PhD ORCID
After completing an honours degree in Biochemistry at the University of Otago, New Zealand, Susan moved to Sydney to take up a PhD position at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, investigating the mechanisms of anabolic bone formation. Susan then moved to Sweden to undertake postdoctoral research at the Stem Cell Institute at Lund University. She left the bench to enter a career in scientific publishing in 2008, joining Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology as Associate Editor, and was appointed Chief Editor of Nature Reviews Nephrology in 2009.
Senior Editor: Ellen Carney, PhD ORCID
Ellen received her BSc in Biochemistry with Immunology from the University of Dundee, UK. She then completed a PhD at the School of Cancer Studies, University of Birmingham, UK, where she investigated the immunodeficiency of patients with ataxia telangiectasia. She joined Nature Research as an Assistant Editor in 2011 and briefly worked on Nature Reviews Cardiology, Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology and Nature Reviews Rheumatology before moving to Nature Reviews Nephrology as an Associate Editor in 2012.

Associate Editor: Monica Wang, PhD ORCID
Monica obtained her BSc with Honours in Immunology from the University of Glasgow. She then moved to London and received her PhD from King’s College London for her work with Professor Adrian Hayday on novel non-classical MHC genes. As a postdoc at Queen Mary University of London, she worked on the role of macrophages in the tumour microenvironment at the Barts Cancer Institute. She then moved to the Blizard Institute to focus on clinical research. Her projects included research on T cells in immune thrombocytopenia as well as the study of rare human immune gene knockouts. She decided to pursue a career in publishing and joined Nature Reviews Nephrology in July 2018 as an Associate Editor.
