DEBOSE鈥揃OYD, Russell
Chair in biomedical science and professor, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Department of 麻豆传媒色情片 Genetics
Statement of interest
I have been a member of the ASBMB for the past 20 years, and my career has greatly benefited from the society through participation in the ASBMB annual meeting and the Deuel Conference on Lipids and as an author and member of the editorial team of ASBMB journals. I currently serve as an associate editor for the Journal of Lipid Research and as an editorial board member for the Journal of Biological Chemistry. I am particularly excited about my most recent role as a mentor for the ASBMB MOSAIC K99/00 program.
It has been an honor to contribute to the ASBMB as the interim treasurer since late fall of 2023; I am interested in continuing to serve the society in this capacity. I look forward to working with the Council, staff leadership and the Finance Committee to ensure the ASBMB remains on a solid financial foundation, allowing sustained growth of its journals and meetings as well as educational and professional-development programs for years to come.
