Excerpt

The progress of epidemiology depends on advances in epidemiologic methods and in research findings. For both, new technologies are highly important. It is, for example, difficult to understand the strong growth in epidemiologic data-analysis without the emergence of the computer, or of molecular and genetic epidemiology without major advances in molecular technology. The purpose of this editorial is to invite articles on the new technologies that are likely to play a crucial role in the further development of epidemiology and of epidemiologic research. …
