We are delighted to welcome Dr Subhra Chakraborty to the Molecular Omics Editorial Board.

Dr Chakraborty is the Director of the National Institute for Plant Genome Research, India. Her research interests lie in nutritional genomics, plant immunity & stress genomics, and delayed fruit softening.

Starting her career at Jawaharlal Nehru University Dr Chakraborty obtained her PhD in plant molecular biology in 1997, joining the university as a Research Scientist for the following year. In 1998, she moved to the National Institute for Plant Genome Research as a staff scientist, before working her way to her current role as Director. Dr Chakraborty was involved in establishing plant proteomics and translational genomics research in India, and is currently serving as the President of PSI (Proteomics Society, India). She is a member of several other international proteomics societies, including a council member of the Human proteome Organization (HUPO).

Editorial Board Chair – Dr Robert Moritz

Dr Robert Moritz began his full-time career from 1983 to 2008 at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Melbourne, Australia.  He received his PhD from the University of Melbourne in Biochemistry during that time. Dr Moritz moved to the Institute for Systems Biology as faculty member in 2008. He is also currently the Vice-President of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) and plays a large role in growing the society.

His research interests in proteomics include the discovery of normal and disease markers using targeted quantitative mass spectrometry. He is active in teaching and dissemination of proteomics technologies, fosters education exchanges and create forums for collaborative relationships centered on the proteome.

Associate Editor – Professor Michael Washburn

Michael Washburn graduated from Grinnell College, Iowa in 1992.  He then received his PhD in Biochemistry/Environmental Toxicology from Michigan State University in 1998 under the direction of Professor William W Wells.  He was a post-doctoral fellow with Professor John Yates, III at the University of Washington from 1999-2000 and worked at the Torrey Mesa Research Institute until 2003.  In 2003 he joined the Stowers Institute for Medical Research where he is the Director of Proteomics.  He also is a Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Centre.

His research is focused on quantitative proteomic and systems biology analyses of protein complexes involved in chromatin remodelling and transcription.

Submit a manuscript for Michael to handle today.
