I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.

Norbert A.R. Maïonchi-Pino

Since 2012, I am an Associate Professor in Cognitive and Developmental Psychology at Université Blaise Pascal. I work on learning and reading disorders (e.g., developmental dyslexia), psycholinguistics and reading acquisition.

Ian J Majewski

My research group is working to identify genetic mutations that contribute to the development of leukaemia, and studying how these mutations influence a patient’s response to therapy. The cancer landscape is both complex and dynamic and we're using genomic approaches to study how cancer cells evolve in response to treatment.

Thulani P Makhalanyane

Thulani Makhalanyane is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry, Genetics and Microbiology and undertakes research at the Centre for Microbial Ecology and Genomics. His research has focused almost entirely on understanding the ecology of microbial communities in extreme environments.

Safarina G Malik

Safarina G. Malik is a Principal Investigator at the Genome Diversity and Disease Division of the Mochtar Riady Institute for Nanotechnology, Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia, since January 2022. From 2011 to 2021 she lead the Lifestyle Diseases Research Group at the Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology, Jakarta, Indonesia. Her key research topics and expertise include genetic diversity, microbiome, mitochondrial genetics and dysfunction, medical genetics, lifestyle disease association, nutrigenetics-nutrigenomics, population genetics and evolution.

Brendan P Malone

My research focus is in using quantitative methods to precisely understand how soils function and change- spatially, and through time.

I research methods for comprehensive digital soil mapping aiming to characterize soil both in the lateral and vertical dimensions.

I research methods for quantifying (and validating) measures of uncertainty for these comprehensive soil information systems.

I investigate innovative systems for soil measurement, which includes that associated with remote and proximal and soil sensing instrumentation. I have particular interest in infrared and x-ray spectroscopy.

Julin N Maloof

Professor of Plant Biology and member of the Genome Center, University of California, Davis.

Elected Fellow, AAAS

Postdoctoral training at The Salk Institute. Doctoral Training at UCSF

Gerald T Mangine

Dr. Mangine recieved his doctorate from the University of Central Florida under the guidance of Dr. Jay Hoffman and Dr. Jeffrey Stout. Currently, he is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Exercise Science and Sport Management at Kennesaw State University. His primary research focus is on resistance training adaptations and predicting sports performance.

Javier Manjarrez

He received a B.S. in Biology, M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Ecology from the
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico (UNAM). He is currently a Professor of Biological Sciences at the Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Mexico. Most of his research interests have centered on the behavioral ecology of snakes and evolutionary processes that shape ecological diversity in sympatric species. Although he prefers working with snakes, his research has involved a variety of animals ranging from hylid frogs to domestic birds and mammals. Javier teaches courses in ecology, animal ecology, and statistics.

Isabelle Mansuy

Isabelle Mansuy is Professor in Neuroepigenetics at the Medical Faculty of the University of Zürich (UZH) & the Department of Health Science and Technology of the ETHZ.

Dr. Mansuy is a member of the Swiss Academy of Medical Science, the European Academy of Sciences (EURASC), the Research Council of the Swiss National Foundation, of the Research Council of the Fyssen Foundation and of EMBO, and is elected Knight of the Legion of Honour in France after being elected Chevalier dans l'Ordre National du Mérite in 2011. She is acting in multiple review boards including the European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, CNRS, etc. She is chief co-editor of BioMolecular Concepts, and member of the editorial board of Hippocampus, Neurobiology of Diseases, Frontiers in Behavioral Neurosciences, Biology of Mood and Anxiety Disorders, and Frontiers in Epigenomics. She co-authored several reviews and books in the field of molecular cognition and neuroepigenetics.

Jingqiu Mao

Atmospheric chemistry modeler and experimentalist. Research interests include: Biosphere-atmosphere interactions, biomass burning emission and chemistry, oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heterogeneous chemistry of aerosols and cloud, secondary organic aerosol formation, chemistry-climate interactions, remote sensing of atmospheric trace gases.

Denis J. Marcellin-Little

Dr. Marcellin-Little is a veterinary orthopedic surgeon who has been doing research for approximately 20 years in the field of joint replacement, limb deformities, physical rehabilitation, and biomodeling/biomanufacturing. He has a particular interest in the interface between computers and orthopedics. He is a member of the Center of Additive Manufacturing and Logistics at North Carolina State University and an adjunct in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering (at NCSU), Industrial and Systems Engineering (at NCSU), and Physical Therapy (at UT-Chattanooga).
