eLife welcomes 70 new editors in 14 subject areas

eLife is pleased to announce 70 new editors joining our Board of Reviewing Editors (BRE) in 2016.

We are delighted to announce the newest members of the eLife Board of Reviewing Editors (BRE), bringing expertise in: Biochemistry, Biophysics and Structural Biology, Cancer Biology, Cell Biology, Computational and Systems Biology, Developmental Biology and Stem Cells, Epidemiology and Global Health, Genes and Chromosomes, Genomics and Evolutionary Biology, Human Biology and Medicine, Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Disease, Neuroscience, and Plant Biology.

The Reviewing Editors are responsible for reviewing articles, at the request of the Senior Editors, and recruiting additional reviewers as needed. Once reviews are in, the participating reviewers consult with one another to finalise their decision and form a consolidated set of comments for the author – this is what sets eLife’s editorial process apart from others.

eLife editors are invited to join eLife by the Editor-in-Chief, after consultation with appropriate Deputy, Senior, and Reviewing Editors. The newest members of the eLife BRE include:
