A new associate editor is joining GENETICS. We’re excited to welcome Chun-Liang Pan to the editorial team.

Chun-Liang Pan
Associate Editor

Chun-Liang Pan is a Distinguished Professor at the Institute of Molecular Medicine, National Taiwan University (NTU), in Taipei, Taiwan. He received an MD and completed residency in clinical neurology at NTU, and then obtained a PhD in neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley, under the mentorship of Gian Garriga. After postdoc training with Steve McIntire at the University of California, San Francisco, he established his own lab at NTU in 2010. Using C. elegans as a model, his lab studies the genetic and circuit basis of learning, memory, and other behaviors. He is particularly interested in understanding how the nervous system integrates internal states of the animal to enable behavioral plasticity and regulate physiological homeostasis.

Bo Zhang
Associate Editor

Bo Zhang is a Professor in Developmental Biology and Genetics at Peking University in China. She received her BS and PhD degrees in Cell Biology from Peking University in 1989 and 1995, respectively, and pursued her post-doctoral training in the Institute of Molecular Biology at University of Zürich, Switzerland. She has been a visiting scholar at University of Wisconsin, Madison, as well as University of California, Los Angeles. Her group is interested in dissecting molecular and cellular mechanisms of vertebrate development through genetic approaches, using zebrafish as the major model with a focus on heart development and regeneration, as well as on developing genome editing techniques in zebrafish based on engineered endonucleases, including TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9.
