Mark Connor
Professor of Pharmacology in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Macquarie University. I study the cellular basis of opioid and cannabinoid receptor/ligand actions, with with the aim of better understanding their acute effects and the adaptations that occur after prolonged administration. This work has taken me to the University of Washington, University of Bristol, University of Sydney and the Vollum Institute before arriving at Macquarie. At the moment my lab focuses on the pharmacology of illicit synthetic cannabinoids and the molecular effects of phytocannabinoids.
Thomas P. Conrads
Professor of Molecular & Cellular Biology and Obstetrics & Gynecology and Chief Scientific Officer of the Department of Defense-Funded Gynecologic Cancer Center of Excellence and the Women's Health Integrated Research Center at Inova Health System.
Gabriela Constantin
Professor of Pathology and Immunology at the University of Verona, Italy. Dr. Constantin has long-standing expertise in vascular inflammation and leukocyte trafficking with particular focus on the central nervous system. She has a M.D. degree and Residency in Neurology from the University of Milan, and Ph.D. degree from the University of Verona. For her neuroimmunology studies she received several national and international awards. She was elected in the AcademiaNet for excellent woman academics.
Perran L. M. Cook
Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry, Monash University. Previously at CSIRO Land and Water in Brisbane, and the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Germany.
The main focus of my research is nutrient cycling in coastal environments.
Graham Coop
I was a post-doc in the group of Jonathan Pritchard in the Department of Human Genetics, University of Chicago, while there I also work closely with Molly Przeworski. Before that I was a PhD student with Bob Griffiths in the mathematical genetics group in Statistics Department at Oxford. I’m now an associate professor in the Department of Evolution and Ecology at UC Davis.
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.
Hugo Corbí
Dr. Hugo Corbi is a marine geology researcher (micropaleontology and sedimentology) currently working at the University of Alicante (Spain). Highly motivated in developing scientific and outreach studies related to geological and paleontological heritage, sedimentology, reef environments, Messinian Salinity Crisis, paleoenvironment interpretation, biostratigraphy and foraminiferal taxonomy.
Erik E Cordes
Dr. Erik Cordes is a Professor and the Vice Chair of Biology at Temple University. He has worked on the ecology of deep-sea corals and hydrocarbon seeps for over 20 years. He studies these ecosystems at all levels of organization, from energy flow in ecosystems and patterns of community assembly, down to gene expression and microbial processes. Dr. Cordes worked on deep-sea corals for his Master’s thesis at Moss Landing Marine Labs, worked on cold-seep ecology for his Ph.D. at Penn State University, and studied the microbial communities within hydrothermal vent chimneys during his NSF Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Harvard. At Temple, his lab has continued to explore the deep Gulf of Mexico while working on the effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on deep-sea coral communities and the effects of ocean acidification on the reef-forming deep-sea coral Lophelia pertusa. Ongoing investigations in the Cordes lab include the seeps and corals off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the deep-sea corals of the Phoenix Islands, and the various deepwater habitats of the Atlantic coast of the US.
Luca Correale
Dr. Luca Correale is a Research fellow at the Department of Public Health, Experimental Medicine and Forensic Science, University of Pavia. His main research areas include physical activity for health and exercise in neurological conditions.
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.
