Denys Wheatley is Editor of Oncology News, and is Director
of BioMedES. In 1998, Denys became editor of Cell Biology
International, and its reemergence
and success led to a new online open access journal called

a second highly successful online open access journal called
Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling. He has strong
research ties in Albany, Davis, Auckland, Valencia, Detroit,

cancer and cell biology teams worldwide, and initiate programmes
in the areas in which his expertise lies. His work in cancer
research, other scientific fields, with IFCB, and in publishing

in recent years from Budapest (Professor of the Semmelweis
Medical University), the Khwarizmi International Award
