Bioscience Reports Impact Factor Up!

The Bioscience Reports Editorial Board and its publishers Portland Press Limited are delighted to announce that the latest Impact Factor, released by Thomson Reuters in the 2011 Journal Citation Reports on 28 June 2012, has increased to 2.379

The Journal, now fully Open-Access, is owned by the Biochemical Society and is supported by an international Editorial Board headed by Professor Wanjin Hong (A*STAR, Singapore).


We are pleased to welcome Dr Nicola Gray (MRC Centre for Reproductive Health, University of Edinburgh), to the Bioscience Reports Editorial Board.

Dr Gray's work examines how mRNAs are regulated at the level of translation and the consequences of their mis-regulation. Her current projects in the laboratory investigate translational control events that contribute to reproductive health with a focus towards understanding normal and dysfunctional gametogenesis and early development.



Bioscience Reports welcomes Professor Des Richardson to the Editorial Board Des Richardson

We are delighted to welcome Professor Des Richardson, Professor of Cancer Cell Biology and NHMRC Senior Principal Research Fellow, to the Bioscience Reports Editorial Board. Working at the University of Syndey, Professor Richardson's major contributions to cancer research are focussed on understanding the role of iron in cancer cell proliferation and the development of novel anti-tumour agents known as iron chelators. Indeed, these studies have resulted in highly promising and potent anti-cancer drugs and are subject of a suite of active national patents.
