Introducing Three New
Co-Editors-in-Chief for
Pathogens and Disease
We are extraordinarily excited to announce that there will be three new Co-Editors-
in-Chief of our journal Pathogens and Disease. We wish the very best to outgoing
Editor-in-Chief, Patrik Bavoil, and thank him for his commitment to the Journal.
The first of our new Co-Editors-in-Chief is Associate Professor Wilhelmina (Willa)
Huston, research group leader at the School of Life Sciences, University of Technology
Sydney (UTS), Australia. Her research is focussed on
molecular microbiology of the intracellular pathogen
Chlamydia, particularly how proteases function in the
organism’s pathogenesis. She is especially interested in
research into infectious diseases linked to infertility and
pelvic inflammatory disease in women.
The second of the three new Co-Editors-in-Chief is
Associate Professor Alfredo Garzino-Demo from the
Institute of Human Virology, and the Department of
Microbiology and Immunology of the University
of Maryland School of Medicine, USA; and at the
University of Padova. Alfredo’s research program is
focused on the pathogenesis of HIV infection, and on
novel therapeutic approaches to treatment and cure
of the infection.
The final addition to the team of three is Associate Professor Jörn Coers, Director
of the Center for Host Microbial Interactions at Duke University Medical Center,
USA. Dr Coers’ research focuses on the function of Interferon-stimulated host
defence programs and the regulation of inflammation
in response to bacterial infections.
