Chief Editor: Mina Razzak, PhD ORCIDFollowing her degree in biomedical science from Victoria University of Wellington, NZ, Mina received her PhD in organic chemistry from the University of Cambridge, UK, where she researched the synthesis of numerous polyketide natural products with anticancer properties. Following a postdoctoral research position at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Texas, USA, she returned to the UK to serve as an Assistant Editor for Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology and Nature Reviews Urology. She became an Associate Editor in 2013 and, following a locum role as Chief Editor of Nature Reviews Nephrology, Senior Editor in 2014. She is the launch editor of Nature Reviews Disease Primers. Mina primarily handles papers on oncology, urology, nephrology and respiratory medicine. Senior Editor: Louise Adams, PhD ORCIDFollowing the completion of her master’s in neuroscience at the University of Manchester, UK, Louise commenced her PhD at Queen Mary University of London, UK, where she researched adhesion molecules and the extracellular matrix in spinal cord injury. She joined the Nature Reviews Disease Primers team in March 2016. Louise primarily handles papers on neurology, psychiatry and sleep medicine. Senior Editor: Lucia Brunello, PhD ORCIDLucia completed her PhD in Biosciences at the University of Padova, Italy, where she studied the mechanisms of calcium dysregulation in familial Alzheimer’s disease. She then spent five years as postdoctoral researcher at the Ohio State University, where she specialized in confocal live imaging of myocardial tissue, researching the role of calcium in cardiac arrhythmias. She joined the Nature Reviews Disease Primers team in July 2016. Lucia primarily handles papers on cardiology, infectious diseases and haematology. Associate editor: Deepitha Maennich, PhD ORCIDAfter finishing her undergraduate studies in biotechnology at PSG College of Technology, India, Deepitha received her PhD in neuroscience from Heidelberg University, Germany. Her research focused on delineating the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer-induced pain. As a postdoctoral fellow, she shifted her focus to understand the neural circuitry changes involved in the development of chronic neuropathic pain using combinations of behavioural, molecular, pharmacological, chemogenetic and imaging techniques. Deepitha joined the Nature Reviews Disease Primers team in October 2019. Deepitha primarily handles papers on gastroenterology, endocrinology, hepatology, nutrition, orthopaedics, ophthalmology and rheumatology. Associate Editor (Cross journal): Grant Otto, PhD ORCIDGrant gained his BSc and MSc at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, before moving to the United States, where he studied for his PhD in Cellular, Molecular and Biophysical Studies at Columbia University, New York, under the leadership of Richard Kessin. He then headed to London where he was a Postdoctoral Scientist, first at Cancer Research UK (with Sharon Tooze), second at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK (with Ben Nichols) and finally at Royal Holloway University of London, UK (with Robin Williams). As well as researching his way around several countries, Grant’s work involved various model systems, including Dictyostelium discoideum, plants, mammalian cells and mice. Grant joined the Nature Reviews Cross-Journal Editorial Team as an Associate Editor in July 2017. Grant primarily handling papers in gastroenterology, endocrinology, hepatology, nutrition, orthopaedics, ophthalmology and rheumatology. The editors of Nature Reviews Disease Primers are based in London, UK.
