Statement of interest
I welcome the opportunity to join the ASBMB Publications Committee. It would be a great honor to dedicate my efforts in order to advocate for excellence in our scholarly publishing activities, promote the highest standards for publication in ASBMB journals, and advise on editorial matters.
As an established scientist in the signal transduction field, I have had the chance to serve on multiple editorial boards, including the Journal of Biological Chemistry’s, and I understand emerging challenges to keep disseminating our scientific discoveries in a highly competitive environment.
I aim to support efforts toward facilitating communication between editors, authors and readers, with the ultimate goal of promoting high-impact science while affirming strong ethical publishing values.
