Dr. Behnam Khatabi was recently featured on the front cover of a prominent scientific journal. Not his likeness, per se, but a part of him just the same.
The editors of Proteomics: Proteomics and Systems Biology invited Khatabi et al. to write the article he titled “Plant-Microbe Symbiosis: What has Proteomics Taught Us?” for inclusion in the August 2019 edition of the journal. Upon reviewing it, they chose the schematic he created that compares the effects of various types of symbiotic and non-symbiotic interactions on a host plant as the cover photo.
“I am very pleased to have my graphic on the front cover of one of the best journals in protein chemistry in the world,” said Khatabi.
Proteomics is published by Wiley VCH and has a 2018 ISI impact factor of 2.106. In 2015, the journal was ranked 13th out of 77 publications in “Biochemical Research Methods” by Thomson Reuters and reported an impact factor of 4.079. It was first published in 2001.
