Prof. Dr. Bruce J. Nicholson Appointed Section Editor-in-Chief of the Section "Biochemistry, Biophysics and Computational Biology" in Life
We are pleased to announce that Prof. Dr. Bruce J. Nicholson has been appointed as the Editor-in-Chief of the new section “Biochemistry, Biophysics and Computational Biology” in Life.
Dr. Nicholson is a Professor of Biochemistry and Structural Biology, where he served as Chair for 15 years, and Co-Director and Founder of the Center for Innovative Drug Discovery at the University of Texas Health San Antonio. He also serves as the Chief Scientific Officer of Hera Biotech, and has served as President of the Association for Medical and Graduate Departments of Biochemistry, on a number of advisory boards, as Editor-in Chief of Cell Communication and Adhesion and on the Fcaulty of 1000. He is a prior Pew Scholar and recipient of the Max Planck Prize.
His lab has been investigating the permeability characteristics of Connexin channels, which have proven surprisingly selective, and defining the molecular basis of this selectivity and regulation of these channels. Most recently, he has focused efforts on understanding the role of gap junctions in invasive processes in cancer metastasis and endometriosis, a disease affecting 10% of women, and a major contributor to infertility in the world.
We warmly welcome Dr. Bruce Nicholson as the Editor-in-Chief of the section "Biochemistry, Biophysics and Computational Biology", and we look forward to Life achieving many milestones under his leadership. For further information on the journal section, please click:
