Bernd Pulverer (Chief Editor) Following undergraduate studies in Cambridge, Bernd received his PhD in 1992 from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, London, for uncovering posttranslational regulation of the transcription factors c-Jun and c-Myc by the JNK and MAP kinases. He carried out postdoctoral research at the Ontario Cancer Institute, Toronto, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle and at the University of Innsbruck. Bernd was associate and then senior editor at Nature from 1999 until 2002 and subsequently chief editor of Nature Cell Biology. Prior to his editorship of EMBO Reports, Bernd had been the chief editor of The EMBO Journal for a decade. He is also Head of Scientific Publications at EMBO. Bernd Pulverer was a co-founder of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and serves on its Steering Committee. He is a member of the advisory boards of bioRxiv, Review Commons, ASM publications and a member of the STM Image Integrity Working Group. He is a founding director of the journal Life Science Alliance, co-published by EMBO Press, Rockefeller University Press and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press.

Achim Breiling (Senior Scientific Editor) Responsible for: Cancer; Immunology; Microbiology, Virology & Host-Pathogen Interaction; Molecular Biology of Disease; Signal Transduction; Stem Cells Achim Joined EMBO Reports in January 2016. Achim received his PhD at the Center for Molecular Biology (ZMBH) in Heidelberg 1998, working on the functional characterisation of epigenetic modifiers in Drosophila. He then moved as postdoctoral researcher to Milan and Naples (Italy), further studying the regulation and maintenance of epigenetic silencing. Since 2007 he worked at the Division of Epigenetics at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, focussing on the role of dynamic DNA methylation during differentiation.

Holger Breithaupt (Senior Features Editor) Responsible for: Science & Society Holger joined EMBO Reports in 2000. He currently handles Science & Society content for the journal. Holger earned his PhD at the University of Düsseldorf’s Institute of Enzyme Technology and then studied science journalism at New York University's Science and Environmental Reporting Program. He worked as a freelance journalist before joining EMBO reports as Features Editor at the journal’s inception. [email protected] |

Ioannis Papaioannou (Scientific Editor) Responsible for: Evolution & Ecology; Microbiology, Virology & Host-Pathogen Interaction; Cell Cycle Ioannis received his MSc and PhD from the University of Athens (Greece), where he worked on vegetative non-self recognition systems of pathogenic fungi in the laboratory of Milton Typas. During his postdoc in the same lab, he studied the diversity of lignocellulose-degrading microbial communities and their peroxidases. He then moved for a second postdoc to the laboratory of Michael Knop at the University of Heidelberg (Germany), where he focused on meiotic and parasexual recombination mechanisms and their impact on genome evolution, as well as on mechanisms of fungal pathogenicity and development. Ioannis joined EMBO reports in August 2022. [email protected] |

Martina Rembold (Senior Scientific Editor) Responsible for: Ageing; Autophagy; Cell Death; Channels, Membrane & Intracellular Transport; Developmental Biology; Post-translational Modifications & Proteolysis; Protein Quality Control; Systems and Computational Biology Martina joined EMBO Reports in September 2015. After her undergraduate studies in Vienna, Martina worked on histone modifications during mouse embryonic development in the lab of Christian Seiser. She received her PhD from EMBL Heidelberg where she studied optic vesicle morphogenesis in medaka fish with Jochen Wittbrodt. For her postdoctoral work she went to Maria Leptin's lab at University of Cologne and focussed on Drosophila gastrulation and on the role of Snail family genes in mesoderm and neuroblast development using genome-wide technologies.

Esther Schnapp (Senior Scientific Editor) Responsible for: Chromatin & Epigenetics; Genomics; DNA Replication, Repair & Recombination; Neuroscience; Plant Biology; Protein Biosynthesis; RNA Biology; Transcription Esther joined EMBO Reports in October 2008. She was awarded her PhD in 2005 at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, where she studied tail regeneration in the axolotl. As a post-doc she worked on muscle development in zebrafish and on the characterisation of mesoangioblasts at the Stem Cell Research Institute of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, Italy.

Deniz Senyilmaz Tiebe (Scientific Editor) Responsible for: Cell Adhesion, Polarity & Cytoskeleton; Metabolism & Cell Biology; Vascular Biology Deniz received her PhD from the University of Heidelberg. During her PhD work in the laboratory of Aurelio Teleman at the DKFZ, she uncovered a dedicated signaling pathway through which stearic acid regulates mitochondria. During her post-doc in Aurelio Teleman’s lab, one of her projects focused on the effects of dietary stearic acid on human physiology. Deniz joined EMBO Reports in November 2018. [email protected] |
