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.
Henrique Pereira Neiva
Henrique Pereira Neiva is a Professor in the Department of Sport Sciences at the University of Beira Interior and a member of the Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD). He concluded his degree in Sport and Physical Education in the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto and, in 2015, finished his PhD in Sport Sciences at the University of Beira Interior. In the last 5 years, more than 130 documents were produced, among books, book chapters papers in Journals indexed at the Web of Science Core Collection (n = 104) and in other international scientific journals, conference proceedings, and all peer-reviewed publications. The impact of the research in the last years was recognized: invitation for oral communications in national and international conferences, peer-reviews in high-ranked journals, supervision of Doctoral (6 completed), Master (33 completed) and Bachelor students. His investigation has focused on training control and evaluation, strength training, and endurance training in different populations.
Giribabu Nelli
Dr. Giribabu Nelli is a Senior Lecturer within the Department of Physiology at Universiti Malaya.
Hi primary research areas include, Reproductive Biology, Diabetes and their complications, and Natural Products Research.
Craig E Nelson
I am a microbial systems biologist specializing in the structure and function of natural bacterial communities in aquatic habitats such as coral reefs, lakes, streams, and the open ocean. My research broadly seeks to identify novel bacteria and understand their role in ecosystem processes and biogeochemical transformations. Much of my work centers around culture-independent phylogenetic and metagenomic characterization of natural microbial communities and measurement of biogeochemical processes and chemical constituents in the surrounding environment which regulate and are regulated by these microbes. I maintain ancillary projects understanding the microbiomes of eukarya (corals, humans, amphibians, macroalgae) and studying bacterial pathogens in natural waters in the context of water quality.
David M Nelson
David is a stable isotope ecologist. He studies diverse topics across various spatial and temporal scales, including the ecology and evolution of C4 grasses, bird and bat migration in the context of renewable-energy development, and forest and watershed biogeochemistry. He is also interested in the development of novel tools for isotopic analysis of small organic materials.
KoonGee Neoh
Professor of Chemical Engineering at the National University of Singapore. Recipient of the 1996 National Science Award of Singapore.
Bernd Neumann
Dr. Bernd Neumann is a German scientist in the field of microbiology. He has a Bachelor´s (B.Sc.) and Master´s (M.Sc.) degree in Human Biology from the University of Greifswald, Division Physiological Proteomics and Bioinformatics at the Institute for Microbiology (supervisor Katharina Riedel). He holds a PhD (Dr.rer.nat.) in Biology from the Technical University of Braunschweig. For his PhD and as PostDoc he worked at the Robert Koch Institute, Division of nosocomial pathogens and antibiotic resistances at the Department of infectious diseases.
Currently he is working as scientist at the Nuremberg General Hospital, Institute for hospital hygiene, medical microbiology and infectious diseases, that also is a university institute of the Paracelsus Medical University. He is working on antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ESKAPE-group) and resistance-mediating mobile genetic elements in the healthcare environment, mainly using molecular approaches as next-generation sequencing.
Jorddy Neves Cruz
Dr. Jorddy Neves Cruz is researcher in Federal University of Pará and Paraense Emílio Goeldi Museum. His research focuses on (1) Medicinal Chemistry, with a particular emphasis on natural products and drug discovery/ design; (2) Extraction and characterization of compounds of natural origin (isolated compounds, essential oils, and fixed oils); (3) molecular modeling approaches and (4) evaluation of biological activities and pharmacological potential of natural compounds.
