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.
Alexandra Moreira
Alexandra Moreira obtained her D.Phil in Molecular Biology from Wolfson College at the University of Oxford in 1997. Her doctorate studies were conducted under Nick Proudfoot supervision at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford where she investigated the mRNA 3’ end formation mechanism of the human C2 complement. She was a postdoctoral fellow with Claudio Sunkel at the IBMC, and in 2003 formed the Group of Cell Activation and Gene Expression. She is currently a Professor in Molecular Biology and holds a Principal Investigator position at ICBAS, University of Porto. Together with her research activities, Alexandra Moreira is a member of the Scientific Board of the Molecular and Cell Biology PhD Program, University Porto. Since 2012 Alexandra Moreira is the Leader of the Group Gene Regulation at IBMC-i3S. The objective of her research group is to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the integration between RNAPII transcription and alternative pre-mRNA processing, with a focus on polyadenylation, and on those events that are physiologically relevant in Eukaryotes.
Paula I. Moreira
Paula I. Moreira is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Principal Investigator at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra. Moreira published more than 100 scientific peer-reviewed articles and she is on the editorial board of over 10 journals. Paula Moreira won the Stimulus to Research prize, in 2003, supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and, the L’Oreal for Women in Science, in 2008, supported by L'Oreal Portugal/UNESCO/ FCT.
Daniel C Moreira
My research interests lie in the area of redox processes in biology and medicine. My main line of work investigates the role and underlying mechanisms of redox metabolism (i.e., reactive species and endogenous antioxidants) in animals during the depression of metabolic rate induced by environmental stresses, including projects that examine the modulation of antioxidant systems in animals exposed to oxygen deprivation and during other situations of metabolic depression. More recently and concurrently, I am also involved in the prospection of bioactive natural compounds (e.g., peptides from amphibians, plant extracts and phytochemicals) for health applications, with emphasis on antioxidant molecules.
Eduardo Moreno
Eduardo Moreno received his PhD in 2000 for research performed with Ginés Morata at the CBMSO, Spain. He stayed there for another 18 months as a postdoc before moving to Zurich, Switzerland, to continue his postdoc with Konrad Basler. From 2004 to 2010, he was a group leader at the CNIO in Madrid, where he received an ERC Starting Grant Award in 2007. Eduardo is at the Institute of Cell Biology in Bern, Switzerland, since 2011. He received the prestigious Dr. Josef Steiner Cancer Award in 2011.
Silvia N. J. Moreno
Professor of Cellular Biology and member of the Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases of the University of Georgia. Former recipient of a Burroughs Welcome New Investigator Award. Undergraduate Coordinator of the Department of Cellular Biology.
Boyd A Mori
Assistant Professor of Agricultural and Ecological Entomology in the Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science, University of Alberta.
Research in our lab focuses on varying aspects of insects in agricultural systems. Our focal areas of research include chemical ecology, population genetics, and insect-plant interactions. We use a variety of techniques from field and laboratory bioassays to transcriptomics and genomics to examine basic and applied ecological questions.
Ludmilla A Morozova-Roche
Professor of Medical Biophysics, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Umea University, Sweden. Editor of journal "Diseases".
John H. Morrison
Dean of Basic Sciences and the Graduate School of Biological Sciences and Professor of Neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Former President of the Cajal Club and The Harvey Society, and current member of Council for the Society for Neuroscience. Merit Award recipient from NIH.
Dr. Morrison is also the Willard T.C. Johnson Professor of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine in Neurobiology of Aging, and Professor in the Friedman Brain Institute.
Juan J Morrone
Full professor of Biogeography, Systematics and Comparative Biology at the Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Mexico. He works on phylogenetic systematics of weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and evolutionary biogeography and regionalization of the Neotropical and Andean regions.
Monika Mortimer
Senior Researcher at the National Institute of Chemical Physics and Biophysics, Tallinn, Estonia. Research interests and experience include ecotoxicology, environmental effects of engineered nanomaterials, fate and transport of contaminants of emerging concern, and microbiology.
