Vijayasaradhi Setaluri
Editor-in-Chief
Vijayasaradhi Setaluri is the Cripps-Ratcliff Professor in the Department of Dermatology at University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. Vijay received his BSc from Sri Venkateswara University and MSc degree from G. B. Pant University, India. After receiving a PhD in Biochemistry from the Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India, Vijay joined Dr. Alan Houghton’s laboratory at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. As a postdoctoral fellow in the Houghton lab, he characterized the immune response to melanosomal proteins tyrosinase and TYRP1 in melanoma and identified the sorting signals in melanosomal proteins.
Vijay has served as faculty at the Rockefeller University and the Wake Forest University. He is also a founding member of the Society for Melanoma Research and served on the council of International Federation of Pigment Cell Societies. He has served as an Associate Editor and a Section Editor and is currently an Editorial Consultant for the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. He received the Young Scientist award at the XV International Pigment Cell Conference, London, UK and The Pigment Cell Research Award at the III International Congress for Melanoma Research, Netherlands. His current research is focused on signaling mechanisms involved in melanocyte transformation and melanoma tumor progression.

Elizabeth Patton
Associate Editor
Liz Patton is an MRC Programme Leader at the MRC Human Genetics Unit, MRC Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine, University of Edinburgh, UK. Liz received a BSc Honours degree from King’s College at Dalhousie University, and a PhD from the University of Toronto, working with Mike Tyers to discover how E3 ubiquitin ligases control cell division. Following this, Liz received a Human Frontier Science Programme Postdoctoral Fellowship to work with Len Zon at Harvard Medical School, where she developed a zebrafish model for melanoma. Her lab uses chemical genetic approaches in zebrafish to investigate gene-drug interactions in melanocyte development and in melanoma. Liz is a Handling Editor at Disease Models and Mechanisms (Company of Biologists, Cambridge UK), and an Associate Editor for Pigment Cell and Melanoma Research. Liz was the founding President of the Zebrafish Disease Models Society (2013-2015) and currently serves as Treasurer and Board member, and is an elected member of the Young Academy of Scotland at the Royal Society of Edinburgh and Society for Melanoma Research Steering Committee. Liz’s research is funded by the Medical Research Council, the European Research Council, and a L’Oréal Paris USA–MRA Team Science Award for Women in Scientific Research.
Ashani Weeraratna Reviews Editor
Ashani Weeraratna is the Ira Brind Professor and Co-Program Leader for Immunology in the Microenvironment & Metastasis Program at the Wistar Institute. Born in Sri Lanka and raised in Southern Africa, Ashani first came to the United States in 1988 to study biology at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. She earned a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Oncology at the Department of Pharmacology of George Washington University Medical Center. From 1998 to 2000, she was a post-doctoral fellow at The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Oncology Center, before joining the National Human Genome Research Institute as a staff scientist. In 2003, she moved to the National Institute on Aging, where she started her own research program. Ashani joined The Wistar Institute in 2011.
Her primary research focus is on melanoma and how changes in the tumor cell’s microenvironment, which include changes in normal cells, blood vessels, and secreted molecules, might initiate the disease’s spread to other parts of the body and also make it resistant to treatment. She is specifically interested in how age-related changes drive the progression of cancer.
Through speaking engagements and social media, Ashani diligently promotes skin safety, from urging proper sunscreen use to regular mole checks, as well as the dangers of indoor tanning. She is also a fierce champion and mentor for women in science and girls pursuing a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education.
