| Professor Eva Segelov |
Professor Eva Segelov has been
included in the inaugural IntechOpen “Women in Sciences 2018 Book Collection”,
celebrating and supporting women scientists worldwide.
Inclusion in the Collection was a
highly competitive process, with only ten successful book topics and co-editors
from almost 300 submissions.
Professor Segelov is Director of
Oncology and Monash University and Monash Health. Her book titled Molecular
Understanding of Colorectal Cancer is currently available on the
Open access platform for submissions for chapters from anyone in the world.
“As Editor, I am able to write the introductory chapter and one
full chapter, which my PhD student Daphne Day, along with others in my lab
group, will author, discussing our work studying ctDNA
for colorectal cancer recurrence and monitoring,” Professor Segelov said.
“I then review all the chapter submissions and select those I want
included in the book.”
Professor Segelov said she was very pleased to be included
in the Collection given there was a competitive environment covering all
aspects of science, not just medicine.
“Initiatives to support and focus attention on women in all fields
of science are welcome, particularly with the recognition now of the importance
of encouraging young women into STEM subjects at school and beyond,” Professor
Segelov said.
IntechOpen CEO and co-founder Alex Lazinica said he applauded all
women who submitted ideas on being proactive in their quest to publish.
