Academic Editors
The following people constitute the Editorial Board of Academic Editors for PeerJ. These active academics are the Editors who seek peer reviewers, evaluate their responses, and make editorial decisions on each submission to the journal. Learn more about becoming an Editor.
Claire M Wells
Dr. Wells completed her PhD in 1998 from Kings College London and completed postdoctoral studies in the laboratory of Prof. Anne Ridley at University College London before returning to King's in 2003. Dr. Wells is now a Senior lecturer in the Division of Cancer Studies. She has published more than 20 papers in reputed journals serves as an editorial board member for a number of international journals and is currently associated with Cancer Research Technology’s PAK drug discovery programme.
Henrike Heise
Since 2007 based at the Institute for Physical Biology at Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf and Research Center Jülich. Professor, and head of the Solid-State NMR group.
Richard Ramsey
Associate Professor of Human Neuroscience, Macquarie University. Primary research interests are cognitive and social neuroscience, experimental psychology, and meta-science.
Shujiro Okuda
Associate Professor of Niigata University, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences
Research Professor of Institute for Research Promotion, Niigata University
Miguel Angel Morales Maqueda
Degree in Fundamental Physics from the Complutense University of Madrid. PhD in ocean modelling Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium, and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Ocean and Climate research fellow at University of Keele, UK, Postdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany, and New York University, USA. Higher scientific officer at the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory and National Oceanography Centre. Senior Lecture at University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Barbara Zambelli
Barbara Zambelli graduated cum laude in Biotechnology in 2002 at the University of Bologna. She carried out her pre-doctoral research activity at the Department of Agro-Environmental Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof. S. Ciurli, studying the biochemical and structural properties of proteins involved in intracellular nickel trafficking. She obtained the Ph.D. degree at the University of Bologna in 2006. As a Ph.D. student, she spent few months working at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Gent (Belgium), under the supervision of Prof. Jozef Van Beeumen. In 2005 she was awarded an EMBO (European Molecular Biology Organization) Short Term Fellowship, to visit the EMBL of Hamburg and to do research - crystallization experiments of metallo-proteins - under the supervision of Dr. Paul Tucker. From 2006 to 2008 she carried out a post-doctoral work within the project “Intracellular nickel trafficking through the interactions with specific nickel-chaperones”. From November 2008, she is Assistant Professor at the Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology of the University of Bologna.
Her research work is focused on the structural and molecular properties of proteins involved in metal homeostasis. In particular, she is interested in the proteins involved in the regulation of nickel metabolism, at the level of transcription and of post-translation.
Nicky McCreesh
Dr McCreesh is an Assistant Professor in Infectious Disease Modelling at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
She is interested in understanding Mtb transmission patterns, and in how contact data can be used to develop a better understanding of potential M.tb. transmission sites, and to inform intervention strategies. She also works on the calibration and analysis of complex individual-based stochastic models, and is involved with a project to develop a history matching and model emulation R package.
Previous research includes HIV and schistosomiasis modelling, and work on respondent-driven sampling.
Chris Wallace
I am a statistician who works with biological and genomic datasets to understand the mechanisms underlying human disease and identify possible treatments. My main focus is on autoimmune diseases.
Evan D Muse
Cardiologist, Scripps Clinic; Assistant Professor, Scripps Translational Science Institute; Visiting Scholar, University of California - San Diego. Judge, Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE; Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. M.D., PhD. - Albert Einstein College of Medicine; M.C.T.I.- The Scripps Research Institute.
Angela Giangrande
Angela Giangrande is a full professor (DR1 CNRS) at the Institut de Génétique et de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire, Strasbourg, FRANCE. She is a member of the Society of Neuroscience and of the Genetics American Society. She is also a USIAS fellow (University of Strasbourg Institute for Advanced studies).
Fredolin Tangang
Professor of Climatology and Oceanography in the School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences, National University of Malaysia. Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia. Past IPCC WG1 Vice-Chair (AR5 cycle, 2008-2015). Obtained his PhD from University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
Graham Coop
I was a post-doc in the group of Jonathan Pritchard in the Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, while there I also work closely with Molly Przeworski. Before that I was a PhD student with Bob Griffiths in the mathematical genetics group in Statistics Department at Oxford. I’m now an associate professor in the Department of Evolution and Ecology at UC Davis.
