Subrata Deb

Dr. Subrata Deb is Chair & Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Larkin University, United States. Previous to this, he held positions at the Roosevelt University, The University of British Columbia and Tripura University.

Dr. Deb received his Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from the Berhampur University and his Master of Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Mumbai. He received his Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from The University of British Columbia and subsequently completed his postdoctoral fellowship from the Vancouver Prostate Centre, a National Centre of Excellence.

Dr. Deb’s primary research interests include Pharmacology, Toxicology, Pharmacogenomics, and Pharmacokinetics with special emphasis on Drug Metabolism and Drug Interactions.

Sushanta Deb

Dr. Sushanta Deb earned his Ph.D. in Evolutionary Microbial Genomics. During his early postdoctoral research, he focused on microbial ecology, microbiomes, probiotics, and comparative genomics. He later served as a Project Scientist at AIIMS Delhi, India. Currently, as a Postdoctoral Associate at Washington State University (WSU), USA, his research primarily centers on comparative genomics and metagenomics.

Damien P. Debecker

Damien P. Debecker is Associate Professor at the UCLouvain (Belgium), teaching physical chemistry, process engineering, principles of biorefining, and industrial waste treatment. His research group aims at developing new heterogeneous catalysts and biocatalysts, paving the way to the design of more sustainable chemical processes. At the interface between green chemistry, materials chemistry, biochemistry and chemical engineering, his expertise lies in the preparation of innovative solid (bio)catalysts and in their evaluation in relevant reaction conditions. Catalyst preparation methods include the aerosol-assisted sol-gel, emulsion-templating, non-hydrolytic sol-gel, colloidal methods, enzyme immobilization. Targeted applications cover biomass upgrading, volatile organic compounds total oxidation, biocatalyzed organic synthesis, CO2 methanation, olefin metathesis, etc.

Lisa DeBruine

Lisa DeBruine leads the Face Research Lab (facelab.org), which investigates the social perception of faces, voices and bodies. Her meta-scientific interests include team science (especially the Psychological Science Accelerator), open documentation, data simulation, web-based tools for data collection and stimulus generation, and teaching computational reproducibility. Her projects and tutorials are available at debruine.github.io
