Elsevier, the global information analytics business specialising in science and health, announced that Cell Press has appointed molecular biologist Dr. John Pham as the next Editor-in-Chief of its flagship life science journal Cell. He will be the fourth person to hold the position in the journal's 44-year history.
Dr. Pham joined Cell Press in 2008 as a member of the Molecular Cell editorial team and became the journal's Editor-in-Chief in 2012. In this role, he has expanded his scientific expertise across the broad range of areas that Molecular Cell covers and has led initiatives on transparency and integrity, piloted new policies on data archiving, and tested different approaches to peer review.
He also plans for Cell and its editorial team to speak out with a stronger voice on behalf of the research community.
Dr. Pham's appointment comes as part of some broader changes in the leadership structure at Cell Press following the departure of former CEO and Cell Editor-in-Chief Dr. Emilie Marcus in February 2018. Over recent years the Cell Press family has expanded into the physical sciences with the launches of Chem, Joule, and iScience, and in April 2018 formed a joint publishing unit with The Lancet headed by Managing Director Anne Kitson.
