**Meet the editors**

Oana-Maria Boldura graduated in Genetic Engineering with a specialization in Molecular Biology (2005), Master of Science degree in Genetic Manipulation (2007) and Pharmacy (2014), and PhD degree in Biotechnology (2010). From 2015, she is an assistant professor at the Banat University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine "King Michael I of Romania" Timisoara, Fac-

ulty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology and a researcher at the "Horia Cernescu" Research Unit. Her main scientific interests are in the field of molecular biology, biotechnology, genomics, and biosecurity with technical aptitudes in manipulation and experimentation of nucleic acid and proteins (purification, sequencing, gene expression studies, SDS-PAGE analysis of proteins fractions, "Lab-onchip" electrophoresis, and immunological testing). Her areas of interest are molecular forensic methods and apoptotic process pathways.

Cornel Baltă is licensed in Veterinary Medicine and Ph.D. in Veterinary Medicine (2011) he is researcher at the Institute of Life Sciences, at "Vasile Goldis" Western University Arad, Romania. The main scientific competencies are in the field of Laboratory Animals, Molecular Biology, Physiology, Histology and Clinical Laboratory with competences and technical aptitudes in nucleic acid examination

by electrophoresis techniques, PCR and qPCR, qualitative and quantitative determination of proteins by Western Blot and microelectrophoresis. Area of interest - the study of molecular mechanisms involved in the evolution of liver and gastrointestinal diseases, study of molecular mechanisms involved in bone regeneration and remodeling using different types of polymers as the scaffold.
