New JAM Research Themes and LAM welcomes new Junior Editors & Reviewers

Journal of Applied Microbiology (JAM) launches new Research Themes for 2026

For 2026, the editorial team have identified four key Research Themes which will launch under the JAM umbrella. Each Theme encompasses emerging hot topics and leading-edge research that align with AMI’s goal to apply microbiology to solving the world’s greatest challenges. We have recruited distinguished Lead Editors from across the globe to head up each Theme.

Letters in Applied Microbiology is delighted to introduce its new cohorts of Junior Editors and Junior Reviewers selected for their 2026-27 training programmes. AMI invited applications for the programmes last summer and we received over 200 applications. We were delighted with the quality and diversity of candidates, who came from 46 different countries across all continents.

Each Junior will complete online training modules and be assigned a mentor who will work closely with them for two years in a unique programme of on-the-job training. View the new Editorial Board here.
