The American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS) has announced the appointment of
Dr. Perry Scanlan, Austin Peay State University professor of allied health sciences, as editor-in-chief of Clinical Laboratory Science, the flagship peer-reviewed journal of the ASCLS. He will begin his term starting in January 2017.
Scanlan, who is also director of Austin Peay's Medical Laboratory Science Program, is president-elect for the organisation's Tennessee chapter, and served on the editorial board for Clinical Laboratory Science, before being named the journal's new EIC. His term will continue through December 2019.
As editor-in-chief, Scanlan said some of his goals are to guide the Clinical Laboratory Science Journal in its transition into online publishing, as well as emphasizing research and scholarly publications as a way to increasing awareness of the importance of medical laboratory science.
Prior to accepting his current role, Scanlan served the organization in numerous capacities over the years, including two previous terms as a clinical practice section editor for the journal, and as president and board member for ASCLS-TN over the past 10 years.
Earlier this summer, he was one of the recipients of the ASCLS's prestigious Voices Under 40 award. The award was developed to honour ASCLS members under the age of 40 who have shown exceptional commitment to the organisation, the laboratory profession and their community.
