With a master’s degree in information science and extensive experience as a teaching professor focusing on the production, dissemination, use and application of scientific and technological information, Regiane A. Bracchi’s main role as the ACS Publications Latin America Manager is to support the scientific community in the region. This work centers on the development and implementation projects and partnerships associated to the access, use, and application of all ACS resources and solutions, as well as the promotion of opportunities and programs for the benefit of science in Latin America.

Karla Juarez-Moreno received her PhD in Biotechnology from CICESE, after completing a degree in Biology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). During her doctoral studies, she was granted a DAAD scholarship to conduct research at the Institute of Immunology in Hamburg, Germany. She later carried out postdoctoral research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, funded by a Fulbright García-Robles Scholarship, and completed a second postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Nanosciences and Nanotechnology (CNyN, UNAM). She is currently an Associate Researcher at the Center for Applied Physics and Advanced Technology (CFATA, UNAM) in Juriquilla, Querétaro, Mexico. Her research focuses on Nanotoxicology, specifically investigating the cellular and molecular responses to nanomaterials and the effects of commercial and incidental nanoparticles on various cell models. Additionally, she is interested in the biomedical applications of engineered metallic and metal oxide nanoparticles. Dr. Juarez-Moreno is a Regular Member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences (AMC) and a Level 2 member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers (SNII). She has co-authored more than 65 scientific articles in her field.

Omar studied chemistry at the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) (Argentina), receiving his Ph.D. in 2004. His postdoctoral studies were carried out at the University of Cambridge (UK) (2004–2006, Marie Curie Research Fellow) and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (Germany) (2007, Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow). He was then appointed as Max Planck Partner Group leader from 2009 until 2013. He has served as Vice-Director of the Instituto de Investigaciones Fisicoquímicas Teóricas y Aplicadas (INIFTA) (2012–2015). He is currently a fellow member of CONICET and head of the Soft Matter Laboratory of INIFTA. Since 2009, he is also Adjunct Professor of Physical Chemistry at UNLP.

Karina S. B. Miglioranza holds a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the National University of Mar del Plata (UNMDP), Argentina. She is a Professor and Senior Researcher at the National Council of Scientific and Technological Research (CONICET) and leads the Ecotoxicology and Environmental Pollution Research Group in the Marine Sciences Department of the Institute of Marine and Coastal Research (IIMyC-CONICET-UNMDP). Dr. Miglioranza serves as the Regional Representative of Open-Ended Scientific Committee (OESG) of the Minamata Convention on Mercury: Effectiveness Evaluation, UNEP, Argentina. She is a member of the Persistent Organic Pollutant Review Committee (POPRC) under the Stockholm Convention, UNEP (2024-2028), and a member of the Global Monitoring Plan (GMP) for the Stockholm Convention, UNEP (2024-2029). Her main research fields include atmospheric pollution, ecotoxicology, environmental chemistry, Persistent Organic Pollutants, mercury, emerging contaminants, soil chemistry, marine pollution, remediation and biomarkers, among others. Dr. Miglioranza has published over 140 papers in specialized journals, supervised undergraduate and postgraduate fellows and researchers, and participated in numerous national and international projects. She has served as Editorial Advisory Boards of Environmental Science & Technology, ES&T Letters, and ACS Agricultural Science & Technology. She was the Associate Editor of the Journal of Hazardous Materials, Elsevier from 2022. In 2018, she received the Global Partner Capacity-Building Award from the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), and in 2024 she was awarded the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award.

Greco earned his Bachelor with Honors degree in Chemistry at the University of Zaragoza (Spain), and he studied Frustrated Lewis Pairs at the University of Münster (Germany). Greco received his Ph.D. from Stockholm University (Sweden) in mechanistic studies of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic systems. Later, he was a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Transformative bio-Molecules (ITbM) at Nagoya University (Japan), where his research focused on the synthesis of curved nanographenes. In Spring 2022, Greco joined the ACS Publications Division and is now the Managing Editor of the journals ACS Energy Letters, Energy & Fuels, Langmuir, and ACS Photonics, with responsibility over their strategic development and management.
