History
The journal was established in 1968 by Michel Jamra as Revista Brasileira de Pesquisas Médicas e Biológicas, published in Portuguese. It obtained its current title in 1981, when ABDC assumed its publication, accepting papers in English only. The initial editors-in-chief were Lewis Joel Greene, Eduardo Moacyr Krieger, and Sérgio Henrique Ferreira (Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto). Of the original three, only Greene remains as editor.
