Molecular Omics welcomes new Editorial Board Member Xiaohua Shen

Molecular Omics is proud to welcome Professor Xiaohua Shen as an Editorial Board Member from 1st of October 2020.

Editorial Board Member Xiaohua Shen

Xiaohua Shen is an Associate Professor in the School of Medicine and an Associate Investigator in the Center of Life Sciences at Tsinghua University. After achieving her Bachelor’s degree at Nankai University (1996), she attended the University of Michigan for her PhD and joined Harvard Medical school for a postdoctoral position in 2004. In 2010, she left Harvard to join her current faculty at Tsinghua University. Xiaohua is a Changjiang Scholars Award Program Distinguished Professor.

The Shen lab’s main research interest is around understanding how noncoding portions of the genome, particularly noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and genomic repeats, act with their associated proteins to shape distinct epigenetic and cellular states during stem-cell differentiation and in development. In the past years, the research group has rigorously investigated novel aspects of ncRNAs, genomic repeats, and RNA-binding proteins and revealed important paradigms of noncoding RNA-mediated regulation in transcription, chromatin structure, and genome organization. Find out more about on Xiaohua’s webpage.

Scope

We welcome scientific research based on the application of any -omics technology and we encourage multi-omics approaches to solving important chemical or biological problems. This includes combining different types of omics platforms encompassing genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and other specialized areas such as glycomics and lipidomics, as well as innovative bioinformatics approaches.

To be eligible researchers should be roughly within 10 years of obtaining their PhD and they should be carrying out independent research.

How to submit

New research in Molecular Omics is published as Research Articles, which encompasses both Communication and Full Paper styles with no strict page limit. Review articles will also be considered. All submissions will be subject to an initial assessment by Editors and, if suitable for the journal, they will be subject to rigorous peer review to meet the usual high standards of Molecular Omics.

Spotlight on Molecular Omics Editorial Board member Professor Nicolle Packer

Molecular Omics is delighted to introduce Editorial Board member Professor Nicolle Packer.

Nicki Packer is a Professor of Glycoproteomics and Director of the Macquarie University Biomolecular Discovery & Design Research Centre, Australia. Over the course of her extensive career, she helped establish the Australian Proteome Analysis Facility, for which she is now a Consultant, and co-founded the biotechnology company Proteome Systems Limited.

Nicki’s research focuses on glycomics, the investigation of post-translational modifications of proteins by sugars.As sugars are present on the cell surface, they are involved in cell-cell contact and therefore play a key role in many intercellular processes such as blood coagulation, tumor growth and metastasis, immune recognition and response and cell-cell communication. Professor Packer’s main research interests lie in the role of glyosylation in different systems, glycoproteins in the innate immune system, cancer glycomics, and the advancement of glycomics technologies. You can find out more about Nicki and her research interests on her webpage.

Example publication:

Relative quantitation of multi-antennary N-glycan classes: combining PGC-LC-ESI-MS with exoglycosidase digestion

J. L. Abrahams, N. H. Packer and M. P. Campbell, Analyst, 2015, 140, 5444-5449
