On behalf of the Board of Publications (BOP) of the Society of Toxicology (SOT), which includes Chair Janice E. Chambers, Co-Chair Matthew J. Campen, Douglas A. Keller, Patricia E. Ganey, Lois D. Lehman-McKeeman, with Norbert E. Kaminski, Council Liaison, it is a pleasure to announce that the new Editor-in-Chief for Toxicological Sciences (ToxSci) will be Gary W. Miller, PhD (pictured right).
Dr. Miller is the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Environmental Health and Associate Dean for Research in the Rollins School of Public Health. He also holds appointments in the Department of Neurology and the Department of Pharmacology in the School of Medicine. Dr. Miller received his PhD in Pharmacology and Toxicology (Rick G. Schnellmann, advisor) from the University of Georgia and completed postdoctoral fellowships at Emory University (Allan Levey, advisor) and Duke University (Marc G. Caron, advisor). He also is Director of the NIEHS-funded P30 Core Center Grant (HERCULES: Health and Exposome Research Center) and Emory’s NIEHS Training Grant. Dr. Miller’s honors include the SOT Achievement Award, Outstanding Mentor Award from the Emory Graduate Division of Biomedical and Biological Sciences, and the Georgia Research Alliance Distinguished Investigator Award. He also has served as the President of the Neurotoxicology Specialty Section and the Southeast Regional Chapter of SOT.
The BOP received a number of applications from highly qualified SOT members, and we appreciate their interest in the journal. Dr. Miller will officially start on September 1. We look forward to his vision and enthusiasm as he initiates his leadership of the journal and continues ToxSci's rise in prestige and significance to the toxicology community.
