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.
Ying I. Tsai
Dr. Ying I. Tsai has been a member of several scientific societies and organizations in Taiwan and Europe, especially the Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research (TAAR) and The Nordic Society for Aerosol Research, European Aerosol Assembly (EAA). He was the former chairman of the Department of Environmental Resources Management (2012-2014) and the Director of Environmental Safety and Hygiene Center (2007-2012), Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science.
He has been honored with an Annual Outstanding Industry-Academy Cooperation Award of the Ministry of Education, Taiwan and the Best Research Paper Award many times at Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science. Currently, he is working as a Professor at the Department of Environmental Engineering and Science and Director at the Indoor Air Quality Research and Service Center, Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science, Taiwan.
Dr. Tsai serves as an Editor, Associate Editor or Editorial Board Members for more than 15 international journals. He has been interested in the chemical properties of atmospheric aerosol and long-range transport of aerosol, but recently he extended his attention to the emission identification and health risk potential of allergy-/irritation- causing aromatic substances in aerosol from incense burning in the indoor environments.
Emanuel Tschopp
Emanuel Tschopp received his MSc in paleontology 2008 at University of Zurich, Switzerland, and his PhD in 2010 at Faculdade de Ciência e Tecnologia of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal, under the supervision of Prof. Octávio Mateus. After postdocs in Portugal, Italy, and the USA, he is now a Humboldt Fellow at University of Hamburg. His main research interests are the dinosaur and lizard systematics and phylogeny with a focus on sauropod dinosaurs from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in the USA, and extant and extinct lacertid lizards. Furthermore, he is an actively working on improving the methodology of phylogenetic analysis based on phenotypic data, and developing approaches to quantify intraspecific variability to use in species delimitation.
Shinya Tsuzuki
Shinya Tsuzuki is a researcher at National Center for Global Health and Medicine, Japan. Currently he leads several research projects related to infectious disease epidemiology, such as disease burden of antimicrobial resistance, COVID-19 epidemics, quantitative evaluation of vaccination policy in Japan, and so forth.

I research the carbon dynamics of peatlands. Specifically this addresses the impact of climate change on the functioning of the ecosystem, greenhouse gas emissions and vegetation.
Thomas D Tullius
Professor of Chemistry, and Director of the Program in Bioinformatics, Boston University. Elected Fellow of the AAAS. Recipient of the Herbert A. Sober Award of the ASBMB. Research interests include developing new chemical probe methods (in particular, hydroxyl radical footprinting) for determining the structure of DNA, RNA, and DNA-protein complexes.
Josep A. Tur
Professor of Physiology, University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). Director, Research Group in Community Nutrition and Oxidative Stress (UIB). Director of nutritional surveys in Spain & Argentina. Head, Department of Fundamental Biology & Health Sciences (UIB). Founding member of the Spanish Academy of Nutrition and Food Science, the Spanish Society of Community Nutrition, and the World's Public Health Nutrition Association. Member, the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition.
Cemal Turan
Cemal Turan is a Professor in the Department of Marine Sciences at Iskenderun Technical University, Turkey.
His primary research interests include Marine Biodiversity, Fisheries, Alien Species, Molecular Ecology and Biotechnology.
Andy J Turko
Assistant Professor, University of Guelph.
I am a comparative animal physiologist who integrates across disciplines and levels of biological organization to understand how animals cope with changing environmental conditions, and why some individuals and species are better able to tolerate these changes than others. Particular interests are understanding how animals sense environmental change, and how the phenotype is adjusted in response (i.e. plasticity). My research is focussed on fish functional morphology and respiratory physiology, but also includes evolutionary physiology, behavioural ecology, and conservation biology.
Jessica Turner
2CI in Neurogenomics Associate Professor, Georgia State University; Associate Professor, Translational Neuroscience, Mind Research Network (Albuquerque, New Mexico).
Konstantin K. Turoverov
Professor of Molecular Biology, Head of the Laboratory of Structural Dynamics, Stability and Folding of Proteins of the Institute of Cytology, Russian Academy of Science.
Jean Twenge
Jean M. Twenge, Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University, is the author of more than 100 scientific publications and the books The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement and Generation Me: Why Today’s Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled — and More Miserable Than Ever Before. She earned her BA and MA from the University of Chicago and her Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Michigan.
Abhishek Tyagi
I have been working on the molecular mechanisms of cancer progression and metastasis for the last ten years, identifying signaling pathways that promote cancer progression using various in vitro and in vivo models. During this time, I have published 30 articles with more than 2000 citations, and 12 papers have been cited as being in the top 10% of the field. They have mostly appeared in high-impact journals such as Sci. Adv., Nat. Comm., J. Exp. Med., Clinical Can. Res., Oncogene, Cancer Res., Cancer Letters. My research is primarily concerned with mechanistic and translational studies of tumor-initiating cells, the microenvironment, and non-coding RNAs in the context of cancer progression and metastasis. My long-term research goal is to conduct basic and translational research to elucidate the underlying mechanism(s) driving cancer metastasis and identify therapeutic targets, especially for highly aggressive metastatic cancers. In addition, I also serve on the editorial boards of three cancer-related journals. Before joining the department of Cancer Biology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, I was a senior research officer (SRO) at the Delhi State Cancer Institute, India (Govt. of India).
