Christopher Cooper
Senior Lecturer in Biological Sciences at the University of Huddersfield, since 2015. Previously Junior Research Fellow, College Lecturer In Biochemistry and various postdocs at the University of Oxford (2013-15). Working on DNA replication, genome integrity and transcription factors in human cancers (and also in prokaryotes). Additional interests in phylogenomics and novel protein expression systems.
Ben Corry
I spend my time trying to understand the proteins known as ion channels that are responsible for electrical signalling in cells using simulation and fluorescence. I am fascinated by how organisms can survive despite the chaos taking place at the molecular level.
I received my PhD from the Australian National University in 2003. After 9 years in 'The Wild West' (Perth, WA) where I won the 2008 West Australian Young Scientist of the Year 2008, I have found my way back to work at the ANU.
Chris J Creevey
Prof. Chris Creevey is Professor for Computational Biology in the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen's University Belfast. His main interests are identifying the genomic factors influencing phenotypic changes in organisms from Bacteria to Eukaryotes with a focus on animal microbiomes. He received his Ph.D. in 2002 from the National University of Ireland for his work in the area of phylogenetics and comparative genomics. Following this he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in NUI Maynooth and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany. In 2009 he was awarded a Science Foundation Ireland Stokes lectureship in Teagasc Ireland and was awarded a Readership in Rumen Systems Biology in Aberystwyth University 2013. He started his current position in Queen's University Belfast in 2018.
William A Cresko
Professor of Biology and Associate Vice President for Research at the University of Oregon. Research focuses on the genetics and genomics of evolutionary change. Elected Fellow, AAAS.
Fabio Cumbo
Fabio Cumbo is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Computational Life Sciences of the Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute in Cleveland, OH.
He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Automation Engineering from the University of Roma Tre in 2019, and his BSc. and MSc. in Software Engineering from the same University in 2012 and 2014 respectively. From November 2018 to December 2021 he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology (CIBIO) of the University of Trento, Italy. Fabio
Cumbo's research mainly focuses on Bioinformatics, Metagenomics, Machine Learning, and Hyperdimensional Computing.
Daniele D'Agostino
Daniele D'Agostino, Ph.D., is associate professor at the University of Genoa (DIBRIS), Italy. His research interests are in the field of high performance computing and e-Science. In particular he cooperates with scientists of the astrophisics, physics, bioinformatics and earth science domains. In 2014 he was a co-chair of the 22nd Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and network based Processing. He co-authored more than 100 papers on international journals, books and conference proceedings. He acted also as co-guest editor of several special issues.
Markus A Dahlem
Currently Guest Scientist at the Department of Physics at the Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. Member of the Cardiovascular Physics Lab. Held formerly positions in the Department of Neurology at the University of Magdeburg (Germany) and in the Department of Psychology at the University of Stirling (Scotland, UK).
Melissa J Davis
Associate Professor Melissa Davis is a computational biologist and Laboratory Head in the Bioinformatics Division of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research. Her background is in genetics and computational cell biology with expertise in the analysis of genome-scale molecular networks, systems biology, and knowledge-based modelling of regulatory networks.
In 2014, Melissa was awarded a four year National Breast Cancer Foundation Career Development Fellowship, and took up a position as Senior Research Fellow in Computational Systems Biology at the University of Melbourne, before moving to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research as a Laboratory Head in 2016. Melissa specialises in the integration of genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data with knowledge-based network models to understand the regulatory logic of mammalian systems.
Charlotte M. Deane
Professor of Structural Biology and Director of the Systems Approaches to Biomedical Sciences Industrial Doctoral Centre at Oxford University.
Matthias Dehmer
Professor of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology. Head of the Insititute for Bioinformatics and Translational Research at UMIT, Hall in Tyrol, Austria.
Christophe Dessimoz
SNSF Professor at the University of Lausanne, Reader at University College London, and Group Leader of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
Douglas S Domingues
I am an Assistant Professor in Plant Molecular Genetics at the "Luiz de Queiroz" College of Agriculture, University of São Paulo, Brazil. My main interests are devoted to understanding gene and genome evolution in plants, working on genome-wide analyses, including transcriptional analyses of gene families relevant to plant metabolism, RNA-seq analyses in plants, as well as studies on non-coding RNAs and transposable elements.
