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.
Maria Paula M Marques
Maria Paula Marques (October 1960, Portugal) received her MSc in Physical-Chemistry (1987), her PhD (1995) and her habillitation (2018) from the University of Coimbra (Portugal). M.P.M. Marques is currently an assistant professor at the Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra, assistant-coordinator of the R&D Group “Molecular Physical-Chemistry” and head of the “Chemoprevention, -Therapy & -Toxicology” laboratory. M.P.M. Marques has authored 140 scientific papers, 8 book chapters and co-edited 3 books. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a member of the Clinical Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy for Medical Diagnosis (CLIRSPEC), the portuguese delegate for the COST Action Raman4Clinics, an associate editor of RSC Advances and a member of the editorial board of Recent Patents on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery.
Her research is centred on the development of metal-based antitumour agents and on the early diagnostics of cancer, using vibrational spectroscopy, including neutron techniques and synchrotron-based methods.

Emily Hollister
Situated at the interface of microbial ecology, bioinformatics, and biostatistics, my research group is dedicated to the study of the structure and function of mixed microbial communities. Our work includes the study of the human microbiome and microbiome-environment interactions, as well as the development and improvement of bioinformatics approaches for microbiome analysis. I am an assistant professor in the Department of Pathology & Immunology at Baylor College of Medicine and serve as the Director of Microbial Ecology for the Texas Children's Microbiome Center at Texas Children's Hospital.
Victor Mougel
Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, ETH Zürich.
Elected board member of the European Young Chemists Networks.
Hai Yu
I’m Project Scientist at University of California, Davis. My research interests focus on developing novel chemoenzymatic methods for efficient synthesis of biologically important complex carbohydrates and glycoconjugates; exploring substrate specificities of glycosyltransferases and other carbohydrate biosynthetic enzymes; as well as analyzing, purifying, and characterizing carbohydrates and glycoconjugates.
Duc D Nguyen
Dr. Duc Nguyen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky. His research interests lie at the interface of data science, mathematical biology, and scientific computing. He has developed several popular online servers for drug design communities such as FRI, RI-Score, DG-GL, and AGL-Score. By integrating mathematics and deep learning, Dr. Nguyen won the most number of contests in the past three D3R Grand Challenges, an annual worldwide competition series in computer-aided drug design. That success has stimulated his partnerships with Bristol-Myers Squibb for developing quantitative systems pharmacological models and with Pfizer for drug de novo hit identification.
Marylène Poirié
Professor of Evolutionary Biology and Genetics, Nice Sophia Antipolis University (France). Co-Head of the Sophia Agrobiotech Institute (INRA-CNRS-University of Nice Sophia Antipolis). Recipient of the Integrative Biology prize of the French Academy of Sciences (Balachovski prize). Member of the excutive committee of the Signalife Labex. Past member of the excutive committee of the European Doctoral School "Insect Science and Biotechnology".
Mahamudur Islam
Dr. M. Islam, M.Sc., Ph.D. studied M.Sc. (Chemistry) and carried out doctoral research at National Institute of Technology, Rourkela. Associate Professor at Purushottam Institute of Engineering & Technology, Rourkela, India.
Carla Minoia
Dr. Carla Minoia is a MD at IRCCS Istituto Tumori "Giovanni Paolo II" Bari (Italy). Her PhD involved clinical research on lymphoma, survivorship, and quality of life.
Anders J Hansen
Anders J. Hansen (AJH) has extensive experience working with characterization of genetic material in difficult samples either being aDNA, eDNA, forensic genetics or degraded DNA. AJH was one for the first to use DNA technology to characterize species contents in ancient environmental samples like ice and permafrost. Currently AJH’s research interests predominant focus on forensic genetics as well as genetic identification and discovery by metagenomic analysis of DNA and RNA in complex tissue samples, recent and ancient sediments including permafrost with the aim of describing the composition, regulation and distribution of genes, microorganism, phage’s, viruses and more.
Sylvain Deville
My background and training is materials science, mostly in the field of technical porous and dense ceramics. My current research interest right now is focussed on freezing pretty much anything I can get my hands on, and see how it applies to domains beyond materials science.
