Howy Jacobs - Senior Editor
Howy is Academy Professor and Professor of Molecular Biology at the Institute of Medical Technology, University of Tampere, Finland. His research interests focus on mitochondria, but cover a wide portfolio of topics, ranging from the replication mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA to the roles that mitochondria play in both disease and ageing. He concerns himself also with several areas of science policy, notably the application of molecular biology to global health.
Barbara Pauly - Science Editor
Coordinates and edits Scientific Reports section content
Barbara completed her PhD at the University of Munich, focusing on signal transduction in the fresh water polyp Hydra. She then went to the University of California at Berkeley as a post-doctoral researcher to work on the role of the actin cytoskeleton in endocytosis in mammalian cells. Barbara joined EMBO reports as an editor in September 2008.
Esther Schnapp - Science Editor
Coordinates and edits Scientific Reports section content
Esther studied signaling pathways underlying tail regeneration in the axolotl, a mexican salamander, at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, where she was awarded her PhD in 2005. She then performed her post-doctoral work on muscle development in the zebrafish and on the characterisation of mesoangioblasts at the Stem Cell Research Institute of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, Italy. Esther joined EMBO reports as scientific editor in October 2008.
Nonia Pariente - Science Editor
Coordinates and edits Reviews section content
Nonia studied Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Madrid's Autónoma University, where she also completed her PhD on new antiviral strategies that exploit the error-prone replication of RNA viruses. She then worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California Los Angeles from 2004 to 2007, where she focused on the development of lentiviral vectors for gene therapy. Nonia joined EMBO reports as Reviews Editor in August 2007.
Holger Breithaupt - News Editor
Coordinates and edits Science & Society articles
Holger studied biology and computer sciences at the University of Cologne where he received his undergraduate degree from the Institute of Botany. After he earned his PhD at the University of Düsseldorf's Institute of Enzyme Technology, he studied science journalism at New York University's Science and Environmental Reporting Program. Holger worked as a freelance journalist before he joined EMBO reports as News Editor in March 2000.
Samuel Caddick - Assistant Editor
Edits Reviews and Science & Society articles, and coordinates the journal
Samuel read molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology and ecology at the University of East Anglia for his BSc (Hons), which he completed in 2001. He was awarded his PhD in plant molecular biology and biochemistry by the same institution in 2005, and continued his research into inositol phosphate kinases and pathways of inositol hexakisphosphate metabolism as a post-doctoral researcher in the same laboratory. Samuel joined EMBO reports as Assistant Editor in April 2007.
