MBoC Establishes Early Career Board—Strengthening Peer Review Culture

ASCB Blog Graphics - MBoC

We’re excited to announce the formation of the Early Career Editorial Board (ECB) for Molecular Biology of the Cell (MBoC)

This new initiative brings together a dynamic group of early-career scientists who will contribute to the editorial process, gain valuable experience in scientific publishing, and help shape the future of MBoC. The ECB members will assist with manuscript evaluations, participate in peer review, and engage in outreach to the broader cell biology community. 

The launch of the ECEB reflects MBoC’s commitment to supporting the next generation of researchers and ensuring diverse perspectives in scientific publishing. We’re thrilled to welcome these talented individuals and look forward to their contributions.
