SACSIS is delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Ron van Noorden as new member of The All Results Journals: Biol Editorial Board.


Prof. van Noorden was born in 1951 and is the chairman (1993-present) of the Department of Cell Biology and Histology of the Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam.  He obtained the PhD in 1983 at the University of Amsterdam. After that, he got appointments as a  lecturer (1983-1986), associate professor (1986-1997) and full professor in cell biology and histology (1997-present). He was selected by the students as lecturer of the year twice in the curriculum Medical Informatics (in 1998 and 1999) and twice in the curriculum Medicine (in 2003 and 2004) at the AMC.
