Journal of Experimental Medicine is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal published by Rockefeller University Press that publishes research papers and commentaries on the physiological, pathological, and molecular mechanisms that encompass the host response to disease.

[1] Topics covered include immunology, inflammation, infectious disease, hematopoiesis, cancer, stem cells and vascular biology.

[2][failed verification] In October 1902, Welch appealed to the board of the Rockefeller Institute to take over the journal.

The transfer of ownership and publication responsibilities required the physical transfer of manuscripts from Welch's office, which fell to the director of the Rockefeller Institute, Simon Flexner, who carried the abandoned manuscripts from Baltimore to New York City in a suitcase.
