MANSFIELD – Mansfield University Assistant Professor of Biochemistry
Dr. Maegen Borzok has accepted an invitation to join the Editorial Board of
Frontiers in Physiology: Striated Muscle Physiology as a Review Editor.
Frontiers in Physiology: Striated Muscle Physiology is an
open-access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research. The
journal provides a forum for the dissemination of the newest knowledge of
skeletal and cardiac striated muscle function to the broadest possible
readership.
“This is a real honor as only leading experts and
established members of the research community are appointed to the Frontiers
Editorial Board,” explained Borzok. “With this new role comes the added
responsibility of ensuring the high-quality and rigorous content in published
works. I am ready and willing to take on this responsibility.”
Borzok’s research and teaching lab at Mansfield University
focuses on the biochemistry involved in cardiovascular diseases, which works to
understand the mechanisms important for cellular attachments. Borzok came to
Mansfield in 2018 from the Ohio State College of Medicine. Prior to OSU, Borzok
taught and received her doctoral degree from the University of Maryland School
of Medicine.
“I see this as a wonderful opportunity to expose budding
young scientists to the peer-review process, an essential aspect to the
scientific field,” said Borzok. “I am excited to embark in this new role and
involve our students in something they don’t yet have access to.”
