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.
Bruce S Lieberman
Dr. Bruce Lieberman is a paleontologist and evolutionary biologist interested in macroevolution and the evolutionary history of invertebrates.
Mathieu Lihoreau
Dr. Mathieu Lihoreau is CNRS researcher based at the Research Center on Animal Cognition (CRCA) / Center for Integrative Biology (CBI) of the University Paul Sabatier - Toulouse III. His research interests focus on the evolutionary relationships between brains, cognition and sociality.
Kyoung Jae Lim
Professor of the Department of Agricultural Engineering, Kangwon National University in Korea.
Vice President of Korean Society of Agricultural Engineers from 2018 - 2019
Brenda B Lin
Dr Lin's research examines how natural systems or components of natural systems can be maintained or integrated into an increasingly developed landscape to provide ecosystem services that optimise both environmental and human well-being.
One specific focus has been the development of integrated agricultural landscapes that provide ecosystem services that mitigate climate change impacts on agricultural food production. More recently, this research has moved into the built environment context to understand how ecosystem services may be helpful in protecting urban environments from projected climate change impacts.
After completing her doctoral research, Dr Lin joined the Earth Institute at Columbia University as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow working on interdisciplinary issues of sustainable development and food security in agricultural systems under climate change. Prior to joining CSIRO, Dr Lin was a Science & Technology Policy Fellow with the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington DC. During this time she worked for the US EPA in the Office of Research and Development.
Dr. Lin joined CSIRO in November 2010 working within the Land & Water Division.
Dr Lin’s work is inherently interdisciplinary, as the interactions between humans and their environment are complex to manage. Much of the research is highly applied with the hope that the research will inform on future public policy and help create resilient socio-ecological systems.
Annika Lindblom
Professor in medical genetics, senior consultant at the department of Clinical Genetics Karolinska University Hospital.
Rafael Linden
M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil, and currently a Full Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Neurogenesis, and former Director of the Institute of Biophysics Carlos Chagas Filho at UFRJ. Research work directed at mechanisms of development of the central nervous system, neurodegeneration, and gene therapy. Best known for contributions to the understanding of the control of programmed cell death in the central nervous system, and more recently, for studies of the functional properties of the prion protein, involved in the pathogenesis of both spongiform encephalopathies and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Charlotte Lindqvist
Assistant Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, University at Buffalo 2010-present; Postdoctoral Fellow/Research Associate, University of Oslo 2003-2008; PhD, University of Copenhagen 2003.
Bernt Lindtjorn
Pror Bernt Lindtjorn is a Professor in International Health. By training, he is a medical doctor with long and extensive experience in hospital work, research, disease control, management, research, research management, and teaching and work in developing countries.
His professional profile includes surgery in developing countries, population studies, and control of malaria, tuberculosis, HIV and AIDS, and malnutrition.
Anja Linstädter
Anja Linstädter is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Cologne and head of the Range Ecology and Management Group. Her research focuses on global change impacts on managed terrestrial ecosystems. She is particularly interested in the interactive effects of global change agents - such as grazing and drought - on the functioning of African drylands, and in consequences for ecosystem service delivery. Ultimately, her research aims at designing ecosystem-based management strategies.
Carl P. Lipo
A Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Environmental Studies Program at Binghamton University in New York.
Stuart A. Lipton
Adjunct Professor of Neurosciences; Professor and Director, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute; Professor (adjunct), Salk Institute for Biological Studies and The Scripps Research Institute.
Neurologist/neuroscientist Stuart Lipton, MD, PhD is a renowned expert in dementia. He was trained at Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University. In addition to running a basic-science laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute, he has an active clinical neurology practice at UC San Diego focusing on dementia and general neurology. Lipton completed his PhD thesis research with John Dowling at Harvard, followed by clinical residency and a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard with Torsten Wiesel during the time that Wiesel won the Nobel prize. He was then on the Harvard faculty for over 20 years before moving to La Jolla as founding director of a new neuroscience center in 2000.
Dominique Lison
Professor of Toxicology and Occupational Medicine at the Catholic University of Louvain and Director of the Louvain Centre of Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology in Brussels, Belgium.
