I'm pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Dennis Wall to the position of Editor in Chief of Evolutionary Bioinformatics, a peer reviewed open access electronic journal published by Libertas Academica.

Dr Wall is a member of the faculty at the Center for Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School where he runs a research lab in translational and evolutionary bioinformatics. He has published on a diverse set of topics in the areas of evolutionary biology and network analysis of disease, and has created widely used resources for both evolutionary and translational research, most notably Roundup and Autworks.

He has received numerous grants and awards, including an NSF postdoctoral fellowship in biological informatics, the Fred R. Cagle Award for Outstanding Achievement in Biology, the Vice Chancellor's Award for Research, several awards for excellence in teaching, and a Harvard Leadership award.

I look forward to working with Dr Wall to further strengthen this already highly successful journal.

I also thank the founding Editor in Chief, Dr Mark Pagel, for his support and assistance following the launching of the journal in 2005. Dr Pagel remains on the Editorial Board as Founding Editor in Chief.
