Research interests: protein and RNA transport, nuclear function and organization, stress, signaling, chaperones, nanobiology, stem cell biology, microscopy, quantitative image analysis, high-throughput screening.
Kenneth B. Storey
My research focus is biochemical adaptation and my lab studies the gene, protein and enzyme mechanisms used for animal survival in harsh environments including hibernation, freezing survival, estivation and anoxia tolerance. My lab has explored these topics in >800 research papers, reviews and book chapters. I am a graduate of the University of Calgary (BSc 1971) and University of British Columbia (PhD 1974), a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and 2010 recipient of the RSC Flavelle medal.
Anne Marie Strohecker
Assistant Professor Departments of Cancer Biology and Genetics and Surgery, The Ohio State University
We are interested in mechanisms of autophagy regulation, with a focus on discovering how to modulate the pathway for optimal therapeutic benefit. Current projects are focused on the identification of novel autophagy regulators and their functional relevance for lung tumorigenesis
William J. Sullivan Jr
Associate Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology, Microbiology & Immunology at Indiana University School of Medicine. Editorial board of Eukaryotic Cell. Counselor for Division AA (Free-Living, Symbiotic and Parasitic Protists), American Society for Microbiology.
Genlou Sun
Professor of Plant Molecular Genetics and Evolutionary Biology, Editorial Board members of Molecular Breeding, Frontier in Genetics, PLOS ONE, Acta Agronomica Sinica and Diversity
Terje Svingen
Assoc. Prof. Svingen is Head of Research group for Molecular & Reproductive Toxicology at the National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark (DTU Food). His research group focuses on how early life exposure to environmental chemicals, particularly endocrine disruptors, can adversely affect development and lead to disease. His research group conducts basic research alongside involvement in regulatory toxicology. Main focus is on the mechanisms of effects leading to reproductive and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Xiaotian Tang
Dr. Xiaotian Tang is now an assistant professor (ZJU100 Young Professor) at Zhejiang University. He was a postdoctoral associate at Yale School of Medicine. His research interests include vector-borne diseases of animals and plants, and arthropod-pathogen-host interactions. He is also interested in evolutionary biology of arthropods.
He has over 40 publications in high-quality peer-reviewed journals, including Cell, PLOS Biology, eLife, Cell Reports, and Science Translational Medicine. He has served as academic or review editor for 4 journals and reviewer for over 20 journals.
