Dr Donkin's PhD thesis was entitled "The Effects of the Neuropeptide Substance P on Outcome Following Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats". His research interests include developing novel pharmacotherapeutic agents for the treatment of neurotrauma and neurodegeneration using rodent animal models. He has completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of British Columbia, Canada, investigating potential prophylactic and therapeutic compounds in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Dr Donkin has published several peer-reviewed journal articles and currently works as a scientific writer. Dr Donkin joined the Edanz Group as a science editor, writer and reviewer in 2011.

Featured Editor

Expert in the molecular genetics of psychiatric illness

Patel是一名神经科学家，专注于中枢神经系统退化和精神疾病的研究。在博士课题下，他开发了一个小鼠基因剔除模型，用于人类脑神经紊乱失调铜蓝蛋白缺乏症的研究。之后在哈佛大学医学院细胞生物学系担任研究员，研究神经细胞迁移中的分子信号通路。Patel近期一直在蒙特利尔道格拉式心理健康研究所担任助理，专注于精神疾病分子基因的研究。研究重点是严重抑郁症和自杀中的 microRNA信号网络microRNA的信令网络参与严重抑郁症和自杀。以第一作者的身份在很多有影响力的期刊上发表了多篇文章，包括《生物化学期刊》和《神经科学期刊》。2011年开始在理文编辑从事编辑工作。

Dr Patel is a neuroscientist interested in central nervous system degeneration and mental illness. For his doctoral thesis he developed a mouse gene-knockout model for the human neurological disorder aceruloplasminemia. Subsequently, as a research fellow at the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School he studied the molecular signaling cascades involved in nerve cell migration. Dr Patel has recently focused his research on the molecular genetics of psychiatric illness as an associate at the Douglas Mental Health Institute in Montreal. His studies center on microRNA signaling networks involved in major depression and suicide. Dr Patel has published a number of first-author articles in high-impact journals, including The Journal of Biological Chemistry and The Journal of Neuroscience. He began editing for the Edanz Group in 2011.

从牛津大学动物学获得学士学位和博士学位后，Dr Prosser进入位于英国阿宾登医学出版公司（现隶属于Elsevier Health Sciences），担任医疗教育出版物的专职编辑。1998年起出任Medicine杂志总编，直至2006年。之后开始自由职业生涯，担任医学撰稿人和手稿编辑人。Dr Prosser是一位在生物医学和健康科学领域颇有成就和经验丰富的编辑和作家，于2006年开始供职理文集团。

After obtaining a BA and PhD in zoology from the University of Oxford, Dr Prosser joined the Medicine Publishing Company, Abingdon, UK, (now part of Elsevier Health Sciences) as a Staff Editor of medical educational publications. In 1998, she became Managing Editor of the journal Medicine, a position she held until 2006, when she began as a freelance science and medical writer and manuscript editor. Dr Prosser, an accomplished and highly experienced biomedical and health sciences editor and writer, began working with Edanz Group in 2006.
