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.
Rajib Roychowdhury
Dr. Rajib Roychowdhury is a Visiting Scientist at the Department of Plant Pathology and Weed Research in Agricultural Research Organization (ARO) - The Volcani Center, Israel. His primary research interest is focused on crop genomics and genetics for abiotic stress response and disease resistance mechanism. Presently he is working on viral disease resistance of citrus and grapevine. Previously he worked on major cereals (wheat. Rice, barley) and berry fruits (strawberry, blueberry) for fungal disease resistance, yield and quality improvement, and osmotic stress (drought, heat, salinity) tolerance under challenging climate. He worked a lot on mutation breeding in carnation, which was a pioneer work on this floricultural crop in South-East Asia. He was elected as a Fellow Member of the Linnaean Society of London, UK. His biography was published in the Pearl Edition of Marquis Who’sWho of the World, USA. In 2019, he got the travel award by International Wheat Initiative (Germany) for presenting his research in 1 st International Wheat Congress, Saskatoon, Canada. He has a plenty number of impacted research papers, review articles, invited chapters and books in both international and nationally reputed journals and publishers. Currently he is serving in the editorial board of Frontiers in Genetics, Agronomy, South African Journal of Botany.

Rob Russell
Co-director of Bioquant and Professor of Protein Evolution at Heidelberg University. Previously Group Leader at EMBL, Heidelberg, Academic Editor at FEBS Letters at PLoS Computational Biology.
Aniello Russo
Senior Scientist at the NATO STO CMRE in La Spezia (Italy), Assistant Professor (on special leave) at the Polytechnic University of Marche (Italy) in the scientific sector Oceanography and Atmospheric Physics. Main research field concerns physical oceanography and relationships with atmosphere, clima, marine environment and biology. Participated in over 20 oceanographic cruises in the Mediterranean Sea and Polar areas.
Francesco Russo
I am a molecular and cellular biologist with a long experience in non-coding RNAs (in particular microRNAs). My main interest is about computational biology. Currently, I am a member of the Brunak lab at the NNF Center for Protein Research, University of Copenhagen and I'm also an affiliated member of the Computational Biology Lab at the Danish Cancer Society in Papaleo lab. I am working on data integration of omics data, electronic patients records, analysis of laboratory tests and drug effects in cancer patients.
I am also interested in non-invasive biomarkes. In 2012 I designed and developed the miRandola database (https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/46/D1/D354/4191335), the first extracellular circulating microRNA database.
