About the Editors:

Acting Chief Editor: Katharine Barnes

Katharine joined Nature Protocols in January 2006 and leads the editorial team of Nature Protocols. Before joining Nature Protocols Katharine was Editor of Trends in Pharmacological Sciences. A graduate of the University of Durham, UK, she completed her PhD in cancer pharmacology at the Institute of Cancer Research, London. Her postdoctoral research, based in the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Pharmacology, was focused on the phosphatase CDC25 and its potential as a target for anti-cancer drug development.

Senior Editor: Dorothy Clyde

Dorothy Clyde obtained her PhD from the University of Edinburgh, where she investigated sex-specific gene expression in Drosophila under the guidance of Prof. Mary Bownes. Dot began her post-doctoral career with Prof. Stephen Small at New York University, where she studied pattern formation in the early Drosophila embryo. On her return to the UK, she continued her studies on Drosophila embryonic development, this time focusing on the molecular and cellular events involved in the process of dorsal closure. Dorothy joined Nature Protocols in January 2006. Contact Dorothy at d.clyde@nature.com.

Associate Editor: Bronwen Dekker

Bronwen Dekker did a masters in Natural Product Chemistry (under Dulcie Mulholland, University of Natal) and worked in the toxicology section of a forensic science laboratory before doing a PhD under Jamal Zweit and Alastair Watson in the Radiochemical Targeting and Imaging group at the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research. After a radiochemistry post-doc in Steve Mather's laboratory at St Bartholomew's hospital, she joined Nature Protocols in February 2006. Contact Bronwen at b.dekker@nature.com.

Associate Editor: Hannah Clark

Hannah obtained her MA in Biological Sciences from the University of Oxford (St. Hilda's College) before undertaking a Ph.D. in Equine Parasitology, investigating the molecular mechanisms of benzimidazole resistance in equine small strongyles. This was completed under the supervision of Dr. Jane Hodgkinson at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, University of Liverpool. Hannah joined Nature Protocols as an Assistant Editor in July 2006 and can be contacted at hannah.clark@nature.com.

Assistant Editor: Katie Ridd

Katie did her PhD in in vitro Toxicology at Liverpool John Moores University before carrying out two post-doctoral research projects focussing on skin cancer. Her most recent studies under the supervision of Professor Boris Bastian at the UC San Francisco Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center investigated non-melanoma skin cancer in organ transplant recipients. Katie joined Nature Protocols in November 2008. Please contact her at k.ridd@nature.com.
