Editor’s Bio

• Nele Hug , Senior Editor, Nature Communications, (molecular biology & genetics team)

Nele joined Nature Communications in October 2021. She obtained her PhD at the EPFL studying DNA replication at telomeres. During her postdoctoral work at the MRC Human Genetics Unit, Edinburgh she studied posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression with a focus on RNA processing and quality control mechanism. Nele handles submissions on the molecular biology of DNA replication and repair, non-coding RNAs, as well as various aspects of RNA metabolism. Nele is based in the London office.

• Bart Verberck, Senior Editor, Nature Physics

After 10 years in academia, Bart joined Nature Physics in 2013, where he handled topics including condensed-matter physics and plasma physics. He also launched a column called ‘Measure for Measure’ on aspects of metrology. In 2017, Bart moved to Berlin to become Regional Executive Editor for the newly established Nature Portfolio office in Germany, which he helped develop as an editorial and publishing hub. Since 2021, he combines that capacity with the role of Senior Consulting Editor at Nature Physics, where he covers soft-condensed-matter physics, amorphous materials and glasses. Bart is based in the Berlin office.
