Meet the new Access Microbiology Editors in Chief: Helina Marshall
November 4, 2021
With Access Microbiology currently undergoing an exciting transformation into an open research platform, the Microbiology Society has appointed two new Editors-in-Chief for the platform, Dr Georgios Efthimiou (University of Hull, UK) and Dr Helina Marshall (Queen’s University Belfast, UK). Both of these Society members have been involved since the conception of the journal, developing their editorial skills as Editor Mentees and eventually Editors handling a host of diverse papers across microbiology. They have been deeply involved all through our consultation process over the future direction of the new open research platform and are longstanding members of the Microbiology Society. We are excited to see what the future brings with them at the helm. We spoke to Helina about her career and aspirations for the platform.
