Carmelo La Rosa
Carmelo La Rosa is a Professor of Physical-Chemistry at the University of Catania, Italy. He received a master’s degree in Chemistry and Ph.D. in Physical-Chemistry from the University of Catania (Italy), working on lyotropic liquid crystals. After completing postdoctoral training on thermodynamics and kinetics of protein folding-unfolding at the University of Catania and Leiden University (The Netherland), he joined the department of Chemical Sciences, University of Catania. His current research focuses on the biophysics of amyloidogenic proteins and their interaction with model membranes.
Gerrick E Lindberg
I am a physical chemist with expertise in statistical thermodynamics. My interests include enhanced sampling methods, liquid structure and dynamics, soft matter interfaces, astrochemistry, ion transport, and biophysics. I earned degrees from Oregon State University (BSc) and Boston University (MS, PhD), performed postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago, and I am an associate professor at Northern Arizona University.
Jinghui Luo
Dr. Jinghui Luo is a Scientist at the Paul Scherrer Institute, switzerland.
His research group is focused on understanding the structure and function of amyloid aggregates in neurodegeneration with two objectives:
(1) Optimizing stoichiometry-defined amyloid oligomers towards a new understanding of neurodegeneration.
(2) Characterizing the structure and function of amyloid condensates with the disease-related molecules in neurodegeneration.
Daniel Horacio Murgida
Daniel H. Murgida, PhD, is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences, and Principal Investigator of the National Research Council, CONICET, Argentina. His laboratory investigates structural, dynamics and mechanistic aspects of natural and chimeric electron transferring proteins and redox enzymes, with basic and applied purposes. This includes a variety of heme and copper metalloproteins that are investigated using spectroscopic, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical methods in combination with protein engineering and computational simulations.
Ho Leung Ng
Principal Scientist, Atomwise. Adjunct associate professor of biochemistry and biophysics at Kansas State University. Research in computational/AI and structure-based drug design, biophotonics, machine learning for chemistry and drug discovery, protein crystallography.
Anoop Rawat
Dr. Anooop Rawat is a Research Associate at the University of Southern California.
His primary research is focused on understanding biophysical and structural basis of misfolding and aggregation of huntingtin protein which is implicated in Huntington's disease.
Stephan E Wolf
Dr. Stephan E. Wolf received his doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) in inorganic chemistry from Johannes-Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany (2009). In 2020, after accomplishing a junior professorship, he received his Venia legendi (Priv.-Doz.) from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU, Germany).
He holds a Heisenberg Fellowship granted by the German Research Foundation and leads a research group on bioinorganic and bioinspired materials chemistry at the Department of Materials Science of FAU. His research revolves around the biosynthesis and process-structure-property relationships of biological materials, the underlying physicochemical intricacies of phase separation, and the translative adaptation of these concepts towards novel approaches in bioinorganic solid-state chemistry.
Norifumi Yamamoto
Norifumi Yamamoto received his PhD from Kyushu University in 2004. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) at the University of Tokyo from 2004 to 2007. He was an Assistant Professor at Gifu University from 2007 to 2010, and at Nagoya University from 2010 to 2012. He moved to Chiba Institute of Technology in 2012, where he is currently a Professor of computational chemistry.
Haibo Yu
Dr Haibo Yu completed his undergraduate study at the University of Science and Technology of China and his Ph.D. at the ETH Zürich, Switzerland. He then conducted postdoctoral training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Chicago in the United States. He joined the School of Chemistry and Molecular Bioscience at the University of Wollongong in July 2010.
Research in his group is focused on developing and applying theoretical and computational tools to understand the structure-dynamics-function relationship in complex (bio)molecular and nanoscale systems.
