Advisory Board and Editors Molecular Biology
Anne Marie Strohecker
Assistant Professor Departments of Cancer Biology and Genetics and Surgery, The Ohio State University
We are interested in mechanisms of autophagy regulation, with a focus on discovering how to modulate the pathway for optimal therapeutic benefit. Current projects are focused on the identification of novel autophagy regulators and their functional relevance for lung tumorigenesis
Genlou Sun
Professor of Plant Molecular Genetics and Evolutionary Biology, Editorial Board members of Molecular Breeding, Frontier in Genetics, PLOS ONE, Acta Agronomica Sinica and Diversity
Terje Svingen
Assoc. Prof. Svingen is Head of Research group for Molecular & Reproductive Toxicology at the National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark (DTU Food). His research group focuses on how early life exposure to environmental chemicals, particularly endocrine disruptors, can adversely affect development and lead to disease. His research group conducts basic research alongside involvement in regulatory toxicology. Main focus is on the mechanisms of effects leading to reproductive and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Duangjai Tungmunnithum
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Duangjai Tungmunnithum completed her Ph.D. at Chulalongkorn University in 2016, and won the DPST Postdoctoral Fellowship to conduct her Postdoctoral research in Japan at the National Museum of Nature and Science focusing on medicinal plant and phytochemistry in the same year. After completing her research in Japan, she obtained a lecturer position at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahidol University, Thailand.
Her expertise is in biochemistry, innovative green extraction methods, biological activity both antioxidant and anti-aging from plant extracts and pure phytochemical compounds for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications both in vitro, in vivo and in cellulo models.
According to her research profiles, she has received a large number of outstanding research both national and international levels e.g. the Junior Research Fellowship from French Government, Franco-Thai Mobility Programme 2020-2021 and LE STUDIUM Research Fellowship.
Konstantin K. Turoverov
Professor of Molecular Biology, Head of the Laboratory of Structural Dynamics, Stability and Folding of Proteins of the Institute of Cytology, Russian Academy of Science.
Rohit Upadhyay
Dr. Rohit Upadhyay is a Research Scientist in the School of Medicine at Tulane University.
He has skills and expertise in the following areas; Cancer Genetics, Cell and Molecular biology, Kidney Injury, Pharmacology, and Molecular mechanisms of complex diseases.
Vladimir N Uversky
Professor at the Department of Molecular Medicine of University of South Florida, College of Medicine, and Visiting Professor at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Physics from Leningrad State University in Russia in 1986, then, completed Ph.D. and Doctor of Sciences (D.Sc.) degrees in Physics and Mathematics (field of study - Biophysics) at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1991) and the Institute Experimental and Theoretical Biophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1998), respectively. I spent early career working on protein folding at Institute of Protein Research and the Institute for Biological Instrumentation (Russia). In 1998, I moved to the University of California Santa Cruz to study protein folding, misfolding, protein conformation diseases, and protein intrinsic disorder phenomenon. In 2004, I was invited to join the Indiana University School of Medicine to primary work on the intrinsically disordered proteins. Since 2010, I am with USF, where I continue to study intrinsically disordered proteins and analyze protein folding and misfolding processes.
I have authored over 950 scientific publications. I am an editor of several scientific journals and edited a number of books and book series on protein structure, function, folding, and misfolding. Since 2014, I am included by the Thomson Reuters to the Clarivate list of Highly Cited Researchers™.
Ece Uzun
Dr. Ece Uzun is the Director of Clinical Bioinformatics at Lifespan Academic Medical Center and Assistant Professor at the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Brown University Alpert Medical School. In her clinical work, Dr. Uzun focuses on building bioinformatics analysis pipelines, developing algorithms, tools and databases to aid in clinical variant detection and annotation. In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Uzun's research group develops novel algorithms to analyze big data and gene networks with a focus on complex disorders such as cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Yegor S Vassetzky
Yegor Vassetzky graduated from the Moscow State University. After a PhD thesis in molecular biology at the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology in Moscow, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in laboratories of Klaus Scherrer (Paris), Susan Gasser (Lausanne) and Marcel Méchali (Montpellier). Since 2002 he heads the laboratory of Nuclear Organization and Pathologies at Gustave Roussy Institute (Villejuif, France).
