Both Komaravolu and Aherrahrou previously served on the Early Career Editorial Board for ATVB and will now serve on the full Editorial Board for a two-year term. Adil Rasheed, Ph.D., an assistant professor also in IMMCG, recently rotated off the Editorial Board.
The Immunology Center of Georgia at Augusta University congratulated both in a post on X.
“Serving on editorial boards is key for building up name recognition for young researchers,” said Klaus Ley, M.D., co-director of the Immunology Center of Georgia, Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar and professor of physiology.
“For our center to have two currently serving and one recently rotating off emphasizes the level of expertise we have recruited to Augusta University and the Immunology Center of Georgia. This experience will serve both Dr. Aherrahrou and Dr. Komaravolu well as they continue to advance in their careers.”
