**Meet the editors**

Dr Mahmoud ElHefnawi is the the Biomedical informatics and Chemoinformatics group leader at the Centre of Excellence for Advanced Sciences(CEAS) and Informatics and Systems Department, National Research Centre NRC). Also, he was a part-time Researcher and adjunct faculty at the American University in Cairo and Egyptian JapaneseUniversity for Science and Technol-

ogy (EJUST). He cofounded the Information Technology Institute (ITI) bioinformatics track. Many publications on topics including rational drug design, docking, and optimizing gene therapy for Influenza, Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and different cancers, structural bioinformatics and motif predictions applications in virology, and applications of phylogenetic analysis. These were in reputed journals like Bioinformatics (Oxford University Press), PLOS1 (Public library of science), journal of molecular recognition, European journal of medicinal chemistry, and Virology Journal.

Mr Mohamed Mysara, MSc graduate from the University of Nottingham, Dec/2010, acquiring the ITI prize for the best dissertation. Mr Mysara is working in the field of Bioinformatics and computational biology, has done various work in the field of post-transcriptional gene regulation and in chemoinformatics. Mr Mysara has several applications in the field of machine learning

and its application, either in RNA interference, as in MysiRNA-Designer software for siRNA prediction or in chemoinformatics classifiers. He has been working in National Research Center, Bioinformatics and Chemoinformatics group, as an assistant researcher; currently he is junior scientist at Nile University in Bioinformatics research group.
