Chem. Chair of 2012 Gordon Research Conference of Sphingolipid and Glycolipid Biology (Italy) and 2013 FASEB Summer Research Conference of Lysophospholipid (Japan).
Mohammad Irfan
Dr. Mohammad Irfan is a plant biologist having research interests in abiotic stress biology of crop plants particularly horticultural crops. During his doctoral and postdoctoral projects, he studied the fruit quality traits affected by abiotic stresses. In his current projects, he investigates the molecular mechanism underlying plant-specialized metabolic pathways and biosynthesis of high-value phytochemicals, such as anthocyanins and carotenoids of horticultural crops under abiotic stresses using transcriptomics, metabolomics, glycomic and functional genomic approaches.
Łukasz Jaremko
Dr. Łukasz Jaremko is Associate Professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
Research in Dr. Jaremko's Molecular Diagnostics and Drug Discovery (MD3) group focuses on atomic-level insight into essential and topical questions from biochemistry and medicine.

Leny Jose
Dr. Leny Jose is an Assistant Research Professor in Dermatology at Indiana University School of Medicine. He obtained his PhD in 2014 from the University of Kerala and his research interests are focused on the pathogenesis of the human papillomavirus
Christine Josenhans
Christine Josenhans is Professor for Microbiology and Medical Microbiology at Max von Pettenkofer Institute of Ludwig Maximilians University Munich and an infectious disease specialist. Until 2017, she was Associate Professor at Hannover Medical School, Germany, also in the field of infection research and molecular and cellular microbiology. Her research foci are on infectious disease agents in general, with specialization in microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, and host-pathogen interactions. She performed her Post-doctoral studies on Yersinia host-pathogen interactions, more specifically on their type III secretion system pore proteins. Current research foci are in persistent bacterial and viral infections, host-pathogen crosstalk and immune interference, as well as in the causal link between infections and cancer.
She is on the board of several undergraduate and graduate teaching programs.

Natarajan Kannan
Dr. Natarajan Kannan is Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the Institute of Bioinformatics, University of Georgia.
Dr. Kannan's research group is an interdisciplinary research group using concepts and techniques from diverse disciplines including biophysics, biochemistry, and bioinformatics to understand how proteins, the molecular machines of life, work. Their current efforts are focused on protein kinases, a large and diverse family of enzymes that propagate cellular signals through the controlled phosphorylation of protein and small molecule substrates. They are additionally exploring other enzyme superfamilies, such as glycosyltransferases, critical in protein folding and metabolic pathways. They use a combination of computational and experimental approaches to understand how natural sequence variation contributes to functional variation in these enzyme superfamilies, and how non-natural variation contributes to disease.
