Aaron Kolski-Andreaco, Ph.D.
Editor, Director of Content
Aaron.Kolski-Andreaco@JoVE.com
Aaron Kolski-Andreaco produced his first video protocol in 2005, while visiting the laboratory of Robert H. Chow at the University of Southern California to learn how to isolate and culture adrenal chromaffin cells - a technique instrumental in his doctoral work. Convinced of the power of video for instruction in the sciences, he began contributing content to JoVE for it's second issue and officially joined the journal as an editor in April 2007. Aaron holds a PhD from the University of California, Irvine where he studied the role of potassium channel function in the regulation of the stress response and hypertension under the guidance of K. George Chandy. He has published in JBC, PNAS, Current Biology, and Current Medicinal Chemistry. |

Nandita Singh, Ph.D.
Science Editor
Nandita.Singh@JoVE.com
Dr. Singh holds a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from University of South Carolina, Columbia and a M.Sc. in Molecular Biology from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. Nandita completed her post-doctoral work at the Whitehead Institute and worked in the Biotech Industry for over two years. She has published in leading journals including Nature, Nature Genetics, Genes and Development and Current Biology. She is convinced that the power of the visual media far exceeds the written word especially when it comes to describing biological methods. In her opinion, video protocols are an invaluable tool to make challenging biological techniques more reproducible and accessible to the entire scientific community. |

Kerianne Crandall, M.A.
Associate Editor
Kerianne.Crandall@JoVE.com
Kerianne studied chemistry and biochemistry at The College of the Holy Cross conducting research under Dr. Richard Herrick. She then went on to the University of Texas at Austin to complete an M.A. studying pathogenic Burkholderia under Dr. Katy Brown of Imperial College. Kerianne has been published in Chemical Communications, Journal of Organometallic Chemistry and Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Her background in instructing at the high school and college level and frustrations with using poorly written methods papers has lead her to believe that JoVE is the next step in helping scientists to advance their work farther and more efficiently. Kerianne works closely with academics, guiding them through the publication process.
