Editor-in-Chief Stephen W. Scherer, PhD, DSc, FRSC
Director, The Centre for Applied Genomics
The Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto McLaughlin Centre
Toronto, Canada
Dr. Scherer holds the GlaxoSmithKline-Canadian Institutes of Health Research Endowed Chair in Genome Sciences at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and University of Toronto (UofT), and he is Director of the UofT McLaughlin Centre, as well as The Centre for Applied Genomics at SickKids. His research is documented in over 500 scholarly publications, and the Database of Genomic Variants he founded facilitates hundreds of thousands of clinical diagnoses each year. He has won numerous awards and Honorary Degrees, including the Steacie Prize, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Scholarship and the Premier’s Summit Award for Medical Research. He is a Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Royal Society of Canada. In 2014, he was selected as a Thomson Reuters Citation Laureate in the field of Physiology or Medicine for “the discovery of large-scale copy number variation and its association with specific diseases.” Associate Editors Mohammed Al-Qahtani, PhD
Executive Director, Center of Excellence in Genomic Medicine Research
King Abdulaziz University
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Prof. Mohammed Al-Qahtani is the Founder and Executive Director of the Center of Excellence in Genomic Medicine Research (CEGMR, since 2007) at King Abdulaziz University (KAU), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Prof. Al-Qahtani's research interest lies within the area of the development of molecular cytogenetic based diagnostics for cancer and other diseases. Prof. Al-Qahtani has more than 255 published manuscripts. In 2017, Prof. Al-Qahtani founded a central genetic lab (GenaTi) which offers a wide range of high-quality and cutting-edge genetic laboratory testing and internships. Prof. Al Qahtani is currently deputy vice president of King Abdulaziz University for Research Centers.  Charis Eng, MD, PhD
Hardis/ACS Professor and Chairwoman, Genomic Medicine Institute
Cleveland Clinic
OH, USA
Dr. Eng's laboratory seeks to identify and characterize genes that, when altered, predispose to cancer, using a range of strategies including clinical genetic, integrative omic, in vitro functional interrogation and non-human models. She also seeks to understand modifiers of heritable cancer risk including genomic, epigenomic and metagenomic modifiers. At the clinical interface, she is acknowledged as one of the rare “go to” people on what is and how to implement genetic- and genomics-enabled personalized healthcare.  Pui-Yan Kwok, MD, PhD
Institute of Biomedical Sciences Academia Sinica (Taiwan)
Cardiovascular Research Institute
University of California, San Francisco
CA, USA
Dr. Kwok's research focuses on developing tools and strategies to study the human genome and the role of human variation in common diseases. He developed single molecule strategies for genome mapping and rare genetic disease diagnosis. In addition, he recently launched an effort to bring genetics into clinical practice and implement precision management of common diseases. Dr. Kwok is an Academician of Academia Sinica and the recipient of the 2017 Distinguished Service Award from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.  Dennis Lo, MD, PhD
Director, Li Ka Shing Institute of Health Sciences
The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Hong Kong, China
Dr. Lo is a key driver in the field of noninvasive prenatal testing. He discovered the presence of cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma, and his group has since remained at the forefront of this field. He has also pioneered a number of diagnostic applications of plasma DNA in other fields. He has received numerous awards, including the US National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry Distinguished Scientist Award (2006), a Croucher Senior Medical Research Fellowship, Sigi Zeiring Award from the American Association of Clinical Chemistry (2007) and Fulbright Distinguished Scholar (2009), among others.
 Stephen F. Kingsmore, MD, DSc
President and CEO
Rady Pediatric Genomics and Systems Medicine Institute
CA, USA
TIME magazine ranked Dr. Kingsmore and his team’s 2-day genome diagnosis method for NICU babies one of the top 10 medical breakthroughs of 2012. He was a MedScape Physician of the year in 2012, and received the 2013 Scripps Genomic Medicine award and 2013 ILCHUN prize of the Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In 2016 and 2018, Dr. Kingsmore became the official title holder of the Guinness World Records® designation for fastest genetic diagnosis, which he accomplished by successfully diagnosing critically ill newborns in 26 and then 19 hours.  Lisa Strug, PhD
Assoc. Director, The Centre for Applied Genomics Senior Scientist
The Hospital for Sick Children
Toronto, Canada
In addition to her role at The Centre for Applied Genomics, she is also an Associate Prof.of Biostatistics and Statistical Sciences at the University of Toronto. Prof. Strug’s research interests lie in the fields of statistical genetics and genetic epidemiology. Her statistical work focuses on the development of pure likelihood methods for genetic analysis, methods for the analysis of next generation sequencing data and on methodology tailored to the identification of modifier genes for mendelian disorders. Her research investigates the genetic epidemiology of cystic fibrosis and the neurodevelopmental phenotype of common genetic epilepsies. Dr. Strug's team aims to translate genetic findings to identify therapeutic targets, and to build diagnostic and predictive models for early intervention. Editorial BoardDr. Muhammad Abu-Elmagd, PhD
