Dr. Xinxin Ding Selected as Journal Editor
Jan. 16, 2021
The University of Arizona Superfund Research Center (UA SRC) is pleased to announce that Dr. Xinxin Ding has been selected as editor of Drug Metabolism and Disposition (DMD), one of the journals put out by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET). Beginning on January 1, 2021, he will serve a three-year term, after which he will be eligible for a second term.
Dr. Ding is not a newcomer to ASPET or to DMD. He has been a member of ASPET since 1997, and one of DMD’s associate editors since 2010.
As editor, he will be at the helm of a renowned publication for the fields of pharmacology and toxicology. The journal is a valuable resource for medicinal chemists and biochemists involved in drug design and metabolism, expression of drug metabolizing enzymes, and regulation of drug metabolizing enzyme gene expression. Outgoing journal editor Jeffrey C. Stevens said of Dr. Ding’s appointment, “His scientific accomplishments and long association with ASPET Journals will lead to improvements” for DMD.
A leader in the pharmacology/toxicology communities, Dr. Ding has published close to 170 articles and 27 book chapters, review articles, and other publications. His intensive research experience makes him well-qualified to serve as DMD’s editor. At the College of Pharmacy, Dr. Ding serves as Professor and Head of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology. Dr. Ding is the Project lead for the UA SRC Project 2: “Role of CYP2A and Hmox1 in the Diabetogenic Effects of Arsenic in Mine Tailings”.
When asked about his appointment, Dr. Ding said, “I am honored to have the opportunity to lead the journal in the next few years. DMD is the most authoritative publication of original research in the field of drug metabolism and disposition. I am looking forward to working closely with the associate editors, members of the editorial board, and the editorial team to maintain the reputation of DMD as the leading international journal in this field.”
Congratulations to Dr. Ding!
