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.
Alexander Bolshoy
Dr. Bolshoy has completed his PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 1993. He is the author of the book "Genome Clustering: from linguistics models to classification of genetic texts", Springer-Verlag, 2010, and many scientific articles. He is serving as an editorial member of several reputed journals like Bioinformatics and Biology Insights, Computational Biology and Chemistry, ISRN Bioinformatics; and Linguistic Frontiers.
Paula Bona
I am a researcher and teacher in reptile anatomy and macroevolution, particularly crocodiles. I work as a professor at the National University of La Plata (UNLP Buenos Aires, Argentina) and as a researcher at the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET, Buenos Aires, Argentina). My interests are crocodyliforms, their evolutionary and biogeographical history. My research is based on systematics and paleobiology. My team and I develop lines of research in osteohistology, neuroanatomy, ontogeny and functional anatomy, in different institutions in our country. For this, we study the anatomy and osteohistology of fossil and living crocodiles, including embryos
Dario T Bonetta
Associate professor in Faculty of Science at Ontario Tech University. Co-founder Metasys Genomics Corp. Interests include: biologically based materials derived from plant and bacterial sources; plant and animal development; inter-kingdom signalling and cell communication.
Luis L. Bonilla
Professor of Applied Mathematics. Past President European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry. Current research in soft condensed matter, biological transport in tissues, nonlinear electronic transport in semiconductor nanostructures.
Stefanos Bonovas
Clinical epidemiologist, biostatistician and research methodologist with special interests in study design and methods, clinical research, and evidence synthesis (by means of systematic reviews, classic and network meta-analyses) to inform health care decisions.
Associate Professor at Humanitas University, Milan, Italy.
Glen M Borchert
Dr. Glen Borchert holds joint appointments as an Assistant Professor in Biology and Pharmacology at the University of South Alabama. He originally received a B.S. in Biology from the University of Tennessee then completed a Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Iowa. Dr. Borchert’s research focuses largely on identifying novel genetic regulators and defining their roles in oncogenesis, microbiology and speciation. Since starting his laboratory at South Alabama in August 2012, Dr. Borchert has published dozens of papers in peer reviewed journals and had numerous grant applications funded including a highly prestigious NSF CAREER award (2014-2019).
Giovanna Bosica
Giovanna Bosica graduated cum laude from the University of Camerino, Italy, in 1993 with a Laurea degree, equivalent to M.Sc.(Hons), in Chemistry and obtained her Ph.D. degree in Chemical Sciences, in the field of organic synthesis, in 1997 from the same institution. In 1995 during her Ph.D. she spent a six months research period at the University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands, as an Erasmus Fellow.
In 1999 she was appointed Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Camerino.
In October 2008 she moved to the University of Malta where she was appointed Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and subsequently obtained the promotion to full Professor in March 2014. She lectures for different courses in the field of organic chemistry/synthesis and natural products.
She is member of the Royal Chemical Society (MRSC) since 2011 and of the American Chemical Society (ACS) since 2015. In March 2016 she has joined the European COST Association, participating at the COST Action CA15106, C-H Activation in Organic Synthesis (CHAOS), as a MC member from Malta [CA15106 MT].
Bettina Böttcher
Professor for Biochemistry with Focus on electron Cryo Microscopy at the Julius Maximilians University Würzburg
Holly A Bowers
My research interests have focused on molecular detection of harmful algal bloom (HAB) species and diversity in estuarine systems, including Chesapeake and Monterey Bays. HABs have become a recurring nuisance along the world’s coastlines and inland lake systems, affecting local economies through impacts on food/drinking water supplies and recreation. Tools that provide rapid, high-resolution data on species presence and abundance are key to ongoing monitoring programs to protect these areas. Taking it a step further, it is just as important to uncover information on how HAB species fluctuate with respect to population structure in between bloom events. Myriad factors can influence species composition, toxin production, and duration of bloom events - molecular fingerprinting plays a key role in untangling this complicated picture.
Dawn E Bowles
Dr. Dawn Elizabeth Bowles, PhD is Assistant Professor in Surgery within the Division of Surgical Sciences at Duke University School of Medicine. She obtained her Ph.D. in Microbiology from Louisiana State University.
Mark Boyes
Professor in the Curtin enAble Institute and School of Population Health, Curtin University.
Interests span health, developmental, and clinical psychology, with the overarching aim of understanding how both individual difference and social/community variables are related to psychological, social, and educational outcomes across the life-span. I am particularly interested in individual differences in cognitive and self-regulatory processes (such as appraisal, coping, and emotion regulation) and their potential links with emotional vulnerability.
Erika M Braga
Erika Braga has a BA in Biology and a Ph.D in Parasitology from Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil, where she is a Professor of Parasitology. Head of Malaria Laboratory at UFMG. Her research is focused on two distinct approaches: study of immune response in human malaria and study of avian malaria in wild birds. Academic Editor of PeerJ and PLOS ONE.
