Luciano Di Croce, senior group leader and ICREA Research Professor of the Epigenetics Events in Cancer laboratory at the CRG, has just been appointed member of the Editorial Board of the new scientific journal Science Advances.

Science Advances is an open access journal launched by AAAS (publisher of Science). It is the first online fully open-acess journal of this publishing group. This new journal covers, like Science, all scientific disciplines, from biology to engineering and social sciences. Their aim is to publish quickly to allow new science with potential global impact to be rapidly distributed, discussed and built upon.

As a member of the Editorial Board, Luciano Di Croce will be responsible for overseeing the review process for submissions to this journal. As the Editor-in-Chief Marcia McNutt states in the Science Advances website, “all the members of the Editorial Board have been selected from an international pool of candidates not only for their reputations in their own fields of research, but also for their acknowledged breadth in recognizing and promoting interdisciplinary collaborations”.
