The Journal of Lipid Research has announced that its first cohort of junior associate editors will join in March. The move to recognise the expertise and contributions of assistant professors is the first initiative by the journal's new editors-in-chief, who took office in January.
The four assistant professors, chosen from nominations by the journal's associate editors, will partner with senior editors to learn how to manage the peer-review process.
The new editors - two PhDs and two MDs - already have accrued accolades and earned the community's trust. Two are recipients of the JLR Junior Investigator Award. One won the Journal of Biological Chemistry/Herb Tabor Young Investigator Award. Another is on the Deuel Conference board.
The new editors also will contribute a new type of article to the journal - commentaries on exciting lipid research published elsewhere.
The new associate editors and their research areas include: Raymond Blind, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nuclear lipid signaling and structure; Gissette Reyes-Sofer, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Regulation and metabolism of Lipoprotein(a); Brandon Davies, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, Lipid metabolism in endothelial cells; and Rotonya Carr, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Lipid metabolites and lipid droplets in liver disease.
