Editor-in-Chief

Brian Plosky

Brian has worked at Cell Press since 2006, spending the majority of his time on Molecular Cell with a brief stint working on Cell Symposia and other aspects of publishing. Brian enjoys hacking the editorial process for authors, reviewers, and editors via technical improvements and making the process more hospitable. He earned his Ph.D. from the Department of Biology at NYU and did postdoctoral work at the NIH. His thesis work with David Scicchitano focused on understanding transcription-coupled DNA repair, and his postdoctoral work with Roger Woodgate contributed to our understanding of the regulation of translesion DNA polymerases.

Deputy Editor

Allyson Evans

Allyson has been with Molecular Cell since 2010. She received her Ph.D. from UNC-Chapel Hill where she studied mechanisms of neuronal apoptosis, followed by postdoctoral work at MIT examining the roles of Sirtuins in aging and disease with Dr. Leonard Guarente. As an editor, the best part of her day is flipping through the newly submitted papers over a cup of coffee. She doesn’t mind that her “Eureka!” moments are now lived vicariously through others, and is passionate that science is seen as fashionable and mainstream by future generations.

Senior Editor

Miao-Chih Tsai

Miao completed her undergraduate studies in Taiwan and read for her Ph.D. in developmental biology with Dr. Julie Ahringer at the Gurdon Institute of the University of Cambridge. She then moved to sunny California to work with Dr. Howard Chang as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University to characterize the function of long noncoding RNAs. She joined Molecular Cell in 2011. She is interested in all aspects of biology, especially new technological innovations and their applications. She is also interested in learning about the people behind the science, and strives to help authors develop their stories as fully as possible.

Assistant Editor

Krista Bledsoe

Krista earned her Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology from Mayo Graduate School where she studied transcription factor fusion genes in Ewing sarcoma and sinonasal sarcoma with Dr. Jennifer Westendorf, followed by postdoctoral work at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia investigating epigenetic inhibitors in Ewing sarcoma with Dr. Margaret Chou. Krista worked as a science writer at Cancer Discovery before joining Cell Press in 2018 as an editor at both Molecular Cell and Cancer Cell. She is excited to work with authors at both journals to help them develop and share their science.

Assistant Editor

Megha Gulati

Megha completed her Ph.D. in genetics in the laboratory of Dr. Robert Britton, where she investigated the role of GTPases in ribosome assembly. She did her postdoctoral research with Dr. Clarissa Nobile at University of California, Merced, where she studied mechanisms of biofilm formation and infection in Candida albicans and several bacterial species, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium smegmatis. She enjoys interdisciplinary research and is interested in new tools and technologies to gain mechanistic insights into gene and protein regulation. She is passionate about the editorial process and helping authors present their research to the broader scientific community.
