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.
Craig L Moyer
My specialty is the marine microbial ecology and geomicrobiology of hydrothermal vent systems. I also maintain interests in terrestrial and aquatic microbial ecology, microbe-macrobe symbiotic relationships, bioremediation and microbial cycles that impact global climate change. My focus has been the study of microbial mats in and around hydrothermal vents, this includes the biodiversity and biogeography of the Zetaproteobacteria.

Feng Liu
Feng Liu received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Life Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and went on to work in the Department of Radiology and Tianjin Key Laboratory of Functional Imaging, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, China. Now he is an associate professor and his current research interests include Brain and Cognition, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Imaging Genetic and Multivariate Pattern Analysis.
Current research focuses on investigating the impact of the environmental factors (e.g., green space, PM 2.5, etc) on human brain measured by magnetic resonance imaging.

Mohammad Irfan
Dr. Mohammad Irfan is a plant biologist having research interests in abiotic stress biology of crop plants particularly horticultural crops. During his doctoral and postdoctoral projects, he studied the fruit quality traits affected by abiotic stresses. In his current projects, he investigates the molecular mechanism underlying plant-specialized metabolic pathways and biosynthesis of high-value phytochemicals, such as anthocyanins and carotenoids of horticultural crops under abiotic stresses using transcriptomics, metabolomics, glycomic and functional genomic approaches.

Henkjan J. Huisman
Dr. H.J. Huisman received his Ph.D. in quantitative medical ultrasound in 1998 at the Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. He continued his research in quantitative MR and ultrasound in breast and prostate resulting in several publications, clinical applications and a patent on a Pharmacokinetic DCEMR processing. He started a research group in 2004 on Computer Aided Diagnosis and Intervention of prostate cancer focussing on computerized support systems for interpretation of multiparametric MR and MRL as well as image guided biopsy and intervention. Since June 2017 he is an Associate Professor in Pelvic Imaging Biomarkers. He has published over 100 papers and book chapters and has co-organized several workshops/challenges on prostate MR image analysis.
Alberto Davalos
Group leader of the Epigenetics of Lipid Metabolism Group, IMDEA Food Institute, Dr. Alberto Dávalos holds a degree in Pharmacy and Biochemistry by San Marcos University (Lima) and a PhD in Pharmacy by Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Madrid).
He has conducted postdoctoral research at the Hospital Ramón y Cajal (Madrid), at Yale University School of Medicine, (New Haven), and at New York University School of Medicine (New York). Dr. Dávalos’s research program focuses in identifying and characterizing new noncoding RNAs (miRNAs, lncRNAs and other type of regulatory RNAs) that regulate lipid metabolism and the effects of minor dietary components (micronutrients) on their expression.
Camillo Rosano
A physicist; in 1996 Camillo Rosano started his studies in Macromolecular Crystallography at the Advanced Biotechnology Center, Genova (I). In 1997 he achieved the Advanced Certificate in Principles of Protein Structures (PPS), Birkbeck College, University of London, UK, and in 1998 he spent a period at the “York Structural Biology Laboratory” York University, York, UK for a Macromolecular crystallography traineeship. He participated to the NASA expeditions STS100/ISS6A and STS110/ISS7A by designing experiment of protein crystallization on-board the International Space Station (ISS). Director of different Courses and Workshops, he is the author/coauthor of more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications.
Dr. Rosano is a Full Professor in Biochemistry and Full Professor in Applied Biology. Italian Ministry for University, Education and Research (MIUR), 2012.
