DeBose–Boyd, Russell
Professor, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center
Statement of interest
I have been a member of the ASBMB for the past 20 years and currently serve as an associate editor for the Journal of Lipid Research and an editorial board member for the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
I am deeply invested in efforts to enhance diversity within basic science. At UT Southwestern, I co-direct the Provost’s Initiative for Diverse Emerging Scholars (PROVIDES), which was conceived to support qualified postdoctoral fellows from underrepresented groups.
I am particularly excited about my most recent role as a mentor for the ASBMB MOSAIC K99/00 program.
As a member of the ASBMB Nominating Committee, I will strive to ensure that the ASBMB leadership remains inclusive and continues to be represented by scientists from an array of racial, ethnic, gender, sexual, class and scientific backgrounds.
