Staff Editors

Sarah Jackson, Executive Editor, received her PhD in biochemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for her research on the function of a cullin-based ubiquitin ligase complex in cell cycle progression. Under the guidance of Dr. Yue Xiong, she uncovered a critical role for this complex in the development of T and B lymphocytes using conditional knockout mice. Dr. Jackson joined the JCI in 2012 and was one of the founding editors of JCI Insight in 2016. She provides operational management of the editorial board, handles manuscripts that present an institutional conflict interest for the editorial board, coordinates efforts between the JCI and JCI Insight, and oversees a team of professional editors in the development of Reviews and Commentaries for the JCI.

Corinne Williams, Senior Science Editor, earned her PhD in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and completed postdoctoral training at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She joined the editorial staff of the JCI in 2013 and was part of the editorial team that launched JCI Insight in 2016. Dr. Williams primarily provides operational support for the JCI Insight Editorial Board, including commissioning and editing journal frontmatter content, manuscript handing, and coordinating efforts with the JCI.

Lisa Conti, Social Media Manager, received her PhD in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. As a graduate student, she studied ion channel structure and protein trafficking in the laboratory of Carol Vandenberg, then went on to serve as a project scientist with the UC Santa Barbara Center for Stem Cell Biology and Engineering. In 2019, Dr. Conti joined the JCI as part of the editorial team and now leads social media and press communications for the JCI and JCI Insight.
