Dr. Chongli Yuan, Associate Professor in the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University, has recently been selected as an Associate Editor of the Science Advances Editorial Board. Editors are chosen from a high achieving international pool of researchers who have made tremendous advancements in their field and strive to promote the importance of interdisciplinary collaborations.

As part of the Editorial Board, Dr. Yuan will be responsible for peer-reviewing scientific articles through the selection and publication process in order to maintain the high-level quality of content produced. Current editorial board members are also responsible for selecting the next group of editors.

Science Advances, a digital-only extension of Science Magazine, was launched in 2015 and has since then grown to be a preeminent publisher of scientific papers. With over 20,000 papers submitted from over 90 countries world-wide, it takes a well-composed team to keep the magazine running.

“It is a great honor to serve this important role”, says Dr. Yuan, “I hope to advocate for inter-disciplinary research work by serving on the Editorial Board.”

Dr. Yuan joined the Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue in 2009. Her research focuses on the development of engineering tools to better understand biological processes. Her recent work focuses on developing biosensors for tracking chromatin dynamics in situ and engineer cells using a bottom-up approach.
