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.
Camillo Rosano
A physicist; in 1996 Camillo Rosano started his studies in Macromolecular Crystallography at the Advanced Biotechnology Center, Genova (I). In 1997 he achieved the Advanced Certificate in Principles of Protein Structures (PPS), Birkbeck College, University of London, UK, and in 1998 he spent a period at the “York Structural Biology Laboratory” York University, York, UK for a Macromolecular crystallography traineeship. He participated to the NASA expeditions STS100/ISS6A and STS110/ISS7A by designing experiment of protein crystallization on-board the International Space Station (ISS). Director of different Courses and Workshops, he is the author/coauthor of more than 100 peer-reviewed scientific publications.
Dr. Rosano is a Full Professor in Biochemistry and Full Professor in Applied Biology. Italian Ministry for University, Education and Research (MIUR), 2012.
Angela Rösen-Wolff
Study of Medicine at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universiy in Heidelberg, Germany; Habilitation in Experimental Virology. Head of Clinical Research at the Department of Pediatrics, University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus at TU Dresden, Germany, since 1995. Speaker of Clinical Research Unit 249 "Defects of the Innate Immune System in Autoinflammation and Autoimmunity" since 2010
Thomas Rosenau
Dr. Thomas Rosenau received his doctorate from Dresden University of Technology, Germany, and North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA, and his habilitation in organic chemistry from BOKU University Vienna, Austria. He is currently professor at BOKU University, holding the Chair of Wood, Pulp and Fiber Chemistry and heading the Division of Chemistry of Renewable Resources. He is also adjunct professor of fiber science at Shinshu University, Japan and adjunct professor at the Johan Gadolin Process Chemistry Center at Abo Akademi Turku, Finland.
Until 2017, Dr. Rosenau has published more than 320 scientific articles, several book chapters, and 14 patents. His research interests are in chemistry of renewable resources, green chemistry and biorefineries, with a focus on cellulose and lignin analysis, chemistry and utilization.
Gary Rosenberg
Pilsbry Chair of Malacology, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and Professor, Department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Science, Drexel University. Commissioner, International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Editor for Mollusca, World Register of Marine Species and MolluscaBase.
His research focuses on the origins and magnitude of diversity of the Mollusca, with active research currently in the Philippines (marine and terrestrial mollusks) and Jamaica (land snails). He uses biodiversity databases to better document the known diversity of mollusks and to estimate their total diversity.
Cheryl S Rosenfeld
Prof. Cheryl S. Rosenfeld is a Professor of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Missouri Columbia. Prof. Rosenfeld specializes in studying the effects of maternal diet on offspring, exploring how the in-utero environment can shape risks for later disease. Her research with mice has yielded major breakthroughs. She has determined that an energy-rich maternal diet will result in more male mouse pups, while a restricted-calorie diet produces daughters more frequently. She also established a relationship between a certain hair-coat color and obesity and diabetes in mice. Most recently, the Rosenfeld lab has identified spatial learning disabilities in male deer mice whose mothers consumed a diet supplemented with bisphenol A, (BPA), a known endocrine disruptor and a common pollutant. This disability is expected to hinder the males in navigating to find mates; the finding has implications for deer mice populations exposed to BPA in the wild.

Mauro Rossi
Mauro Rossi is an expert on mapping, modeling and forecasting of landslides, floods and erosion processes in different geo-environmental and anthropic contexts. He has developed (i) new methodologies for statistical and deterministic analysis of the susceptibility and hazard posed by different geo-hydrological phenomena and for the estimation of their impacts, (ii) new statistical approaches to the definition of rainfall thresholds for triggering Landslides, (iii) early warning systems, (iv) approaches to the design optimal models for estimating landslide susceptibility and for the assessment of social risk posed by landslides and floods. He has also developed specific softwares for the landslide susceptibility modelling, for the landslide magnitude modelling and for the joint modeling of landslides and erosion processes in relation to different scenarios of geomorphological, climatic, vegetational and anthropic changes, in order to adequately characterize the hillslopes and the hydrological basins dynamics.

Nicolas P Rougier
I’m a full-time research scientist at Inria. This is a public scientific and technological establishment (EPST) under the double supervision of the Research & Education Ministry, and the Ministry of Economy Finance and Industry. I’m working at the frontier between integrative and computational neuroscience in association with the Institute of Neurodegenerative Diseases, the Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique, the University of Bordeaux and the CNRS. My research deals with decision-making, self-organization, spatial computing, artificial neural networks & open science.
Karine Rousseau
Associate Professor of Comparative Neuroendocrinology at Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, in Paris; PhD in Reproductive Physiology
Ulrika Rova
Besides current research activities in pre-treatment and biochemical conversion of lignocellulose Rova has a background in recombinant protein expression, protein crystallization, biochemical characterization of catalytical properties of enzymes.
Barry S Rowlingson
I've worked in GIS and Spatial Statistics since 1990, first in the Maths and Stats and the Geography department, and now in the Lancaster Medical School as part of a research group looking at spatial data in health applications. We have a focus on tropical disease epidemiology but also look at wider spatial statistical health research.
