Edited books and guest editorships.
Volumes that publishers asked me to edit, and collections that journals asked me to curate as guest editor.
Edited books
Three volumes edited with colleagues, each with the chapters I wrote inside it. Each was a single appointment, separate from a standing seat on a board.
Nanocarriers for Nucleic Acids and Proteins
Edited by Luis H. Reyes, Juan C. Cruz and Yashwant V. Pathak
Nanoscale delivery systems for nucleic acids and proteins: design principles, lipid, polymer, inorganic and bioinspired nanocarriers, gene therapy and cancer immunotherapy, and what it takes to carry a laboratory result into the clinic.
Author or co-author of six of its 16 chapters.
Chapters I wrote or co-wrote
- Introduction to Nanocarriers for Nucleic Acids and Proteins
- Design Principles of Nanocarriers: Size, Shape, and Surface Properties, Stimuli-Responsive Systems
- Polymer-Based Nanocarriers: Dendrimers, Polymeric Micelles, Hydrogels
- Inorganic Nanocarriers: Gold Nanoparticles, Iron Nanoparticles, Silica Nanoparticles, Quantum Dots
- Carbon-Based Nanocarriers: Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene Oxide, Fullerenes, and Carbon Dots
- Delivery of Nucleic Acids Using Nanocarriers: siRNA and miRNA Delivery, mRNA and DNA Delivery, CRISPR-Cas Systems
Antimicrobial Peptides
A Roadmap for Accelerating Discovery and Development
Edited by Luis H. Reyes, Juan C. Cruz and Gregory R. Wiedman
How emerging technologies can speed up the discovery, production and market entry of antimicrobial peptides: artificial intelligence and data science, molecular and fluid dynamics simulation, process simulation, microfluidics and 3D printing.
Author or co-author of seven chapters and of the introduction to the volume.
Chapters I wrote or co-wrote
- Introduction—Antimicrobial peptides: From the bench to the bedside
- Bioinformatic methods for the design of antimicrobial peptides
- Statistical analysis and data interpretation
- Biological platforms for the production of antimicrobial peptides: Bacterial, yeast, and cell-free systems
- Biological platforms for the production of antimicrobial peptides: Plants, insects, and mammalian cells systems
- Classical and emerging approximations for the screening of antimicrobial peptide libraries
- Downstream processing for antimicrobial peptide production
- Physicochemical and biochemical characterization of antimicrobial peptides
Synthetic Genomics
From BioBricks to Synthetic Genomes
Edited by Miguel Fernández-Niño and Luis H. Reyes
The state of synthetic genomics, the emerging field that sets out to build entire genomes out of pre-designed building blocks obtained by chemical synthesis and rational design.
Co-author of the introduction to the volume.
