The Journal of Biological Chemistry has appointed Phyllis Hanson, Karin Musier–Forsyth, and Michael Shipston as associate editors. The three new editors bring expertise in intracellular cell membranes, RNA biology, and ion channel signalling to the journal. The three new associate editors will serve five-year terms.
Hanson is the Gerty T. Cori professor in the Department of Cell Biology & Physiology at the Washington University School of Medicine. Her research examines the membranes of intracellular organelles, such as endosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum, and the roles of these membranes in health and disease. Hanson has previously published and reviewed papers in JBC.
Karin Musier–Forsyth, an Ohio Eminent Scholar in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Ohio State University, likewise cites her positive experiences as an author and reviewer at JBC as factors in her decision to accept an appointment as an associate editor. She is an expert in interactions between proteins and RNA, particularly in the context of HIV.
A similar emphasis on the physiological consequences of basic biochemical processes can be found in the work of Michael Shipston, a professor of physiology and dean of biomedical sciences at the University of Edinburgh. Shipston’s research focuses on how ion channels are regulated to control physiological processes under cellular stress and disease.
The Journal of Biological Chemistry is a weekly peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes research ‘motivated by biology, enabled by chemistry’ across all areas of biochemistry and molecular biology.
