Jose M Montoya
Senior Researcher at the Theoretical and Experimental Ecology Station, CNRS, at Moulis, France. Leader of the Ecological Networks and Global Change Research Group.
Martial Ndeffo
Dr. Martial Ndeffo is Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Texas A&M School of Public Health. His research uses transdisciplinary modeling approaches to address public health challenges for a wide range of infectious diseases.
Duc D Nguyen
Dr. Duc Nguyen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Kentucky. His research interests lie at the interface of data science, mathematical biology, and scientific computing. He has developed several popular online servers for drug design communities such as FRI, RI-Score, DG-GL, and AGL-Score. By integrating mathematics and deep learning, Dr. Nguyen won the most number of contests in the past three D3R Grand Challenges, an annual worldwide competition series in computer-aided drug design. That success has stimulated his partnerships with Bristol-Myers Squibb for developing quantitative systems pharmacological models and with Pfizer for drug de novo hit identification.
Qing Nie
Qing Nie is a Professor of Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering at University of California, Irvine. Dr. Nie's primary research areas include systems biology, stem cells, developmental biology, regulatory networks, stochastic dynamics, and computational mathematics.
Yonghong Peng
Dr. Peng is a Professor of Data Science at the University of Sunderland. He is a Principal Investigator in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology and Medicine, and Principal Data Scientist working on Big Data Integration, Data Mining and Computational Intelligence. Dr. Peng's Data Science and BioMedical informatics (DS & BMI) research group focuses on development of innovative data analytics approaches to enable systematical analysis of biological data, medical images, and healthcare data and to gain new knowledge and insights from the integrative analytics of diverse data sources.
Tomas Perez-Acle
Biologist, PhD in Biotechnology. Director of the Centro BASAL Ciencia & Vida. Head Researcher of the Computational Biology Lab (dLab) at Fundacion Ciencia & Vida, Santiago, Chile. Research Professor at Facultad de Ingeniería y Tecnología, Universidad San Sebastián.
Adam W Potter
Research Physiologist, US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM).
Part-time faculty, School of Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math (STEM), American Public University System (APUS).
Research portfolio spans across the applied sciences, from thermal manikin testing, to the cutting-edge of product development (computer-based decision aids, wireless communications, and wearable sensors). Current scientific work areas include: 1) individualized mathematical modeling of thermoregulatory responses to clothing, environment, activities, with the inclusion of components for rest and recovery, 2) studies of metabolic costs over complex terrain, 3) real-time assessments of ground reaction forces and energy demands during locomotion and load carriage, and 4) innovative approaches to data management and the application of mathematics in integrative physiology.
Nichole N Price
Nichole Price is a Senior Research Scientist and Director of a new center focused on securing sustainable, nutritious, and safe seafood for generations to come at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in East Boothbay, Maine. The center for Seafood Security seeks to translate cutting-edge marine science to bridge the gap between knowledge and action. Nichole’s research and partnerships with NOAA, the Nature Conservancy, the US Geological Survey, and US Fish and Wildlife have taken her SCUBA diving around the globe on coral reefs in Africa, Asia, and across remote islands in the Central Pacific. More recently, she has focused her work in Southern California and the Gulf of Maine where she has partnered closely with members of the seaweed and shellfish industries to develop remediation strategies for ocean acidification, nutrient loading, and low oxygen conditions.
Nichole earned her Ph.D. in marine ecology at the University of California, Santa Barbara and became a postdoctoral scholar and project scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography before moving to Maine. She has 10 years experience on the studying impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on marine ecosystems and uses this knowledge to help find evidence-based, local solutions to global challenges.
Sven Rahmann
