Josh received his Ph.D. from Harvard University’s Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology in 2004, working for Professor Gregory Verdine. After graduate school, he took a job at Nature as an editor, where he stayed for the next 12 years (first as an associate editor, and eventually as a senior editor and 'team leader' of the chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science team). His primary responsibility at Nature was to liaise with the chemistry, chemical biology, and structural biology communities – he solicited primary research manuscripts and review articles, evaluated those manuscripts, and shepherded the most significant ones through the peer review process. In 2016, he moved to Tufts University to become the Deputy Director of their nascent Allen Discovery Center (see http://allencenter.tufts.edu/). He works closely with the director of the center and other center faculty to develop and implement the center’s strategic plan and long-term goals. In addition, he oversees the day-to-day research and technology development operations of the center and is responsible for scientific communications, grant writing, IT and knowledge infrastructure, intellectual property, and business development efforts. In his spare time, Josh runs a STEM club at his daughters’ elementary school in Cambridge, reads voraciously (especially sci-fi and fiction), and attempts to play jazz guitar.
