She has opened up new andrology laboratories, trained many andrologists and embryologists. She is currently serving as the director of laboratory operations in many locations of IVF Michigan and IVF Ohio Fertility Centers. Dr. Dogan is a certified by ABB as Technical Supervisor in Andrology and Embryology, and as High Complexity Lab Director (HCLD). She has many publications in international journals, including many book chapters. Dr. Dogan has been serving as a reviewer for scientific journals and conferences since 2010.

He currently works to Assist Prof. Dr. at Underwater Technologies, Maritime Vocational School of Higher Education at Iskenderun Technical University. Also, he has expertise in population genetics, conservation genetics, marine biodiversity and alien species. Doğdu has published over 80 scientific papers, books and book chapters on these areas. Doğdu has worked on several national and international projects.
Jan Dolfing
PhD in Environmental Microbiology from Wageningen University in The Netherlands. Post-doctoral experience at Michigan State University (with Jim Tiedje) and EAWAG/ETH in Switzerland (With Rene Schwarzenbach and Joseph Zeyer).
My main interest is in the applicability and application of thermodynamic logic to microbial processes and interactions in methanogenic ecosystems. Ongoing projects include: Reductive dechlorination of chlordecone, a legacy compound used for pest control in the French West Indies.
Pascal Dollé
Associate Professor in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Group leader (Developmental Biology and Stem Cells Department), IGBMC, France. Member of the Institut Universitaire de France.
Douglas S Domingues
I am an Assistant Professor in Plant Molecular Genetics at the "Luiz de Queiroz" College of Agriculture, University of São Paulo, Brazil. My main interests are devoted to understanding gene and genome evolution in plants, working on genome-wide analyses, including transcriptional analyses of gene families relevant to plant metabolism, RNA-seq analyses in plants, as well as studies on non-coding RNAs and transposable elements.
Richard Dortch
Richard Dortch, PhD, is an associate professor of imaging research in the Neuroimaging Innovation Center in the Department of Translational Neuroscience at Barrow Neurological Institute.
Dr. Dortch’s expertise includes radiological sciences and biomedical engineering. He is a member of the American Academy of Neurology and the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.
Dr. Dortch earned his master’s and doctorate degrees in biomedical engineering from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in the Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he served as assistant professor before joining the faculty at Barrow in 2019. His research has been funded through the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense.
Dr. Dortch’s research interests include developing, optimizing, and validating quantitative MRI methods for neuroimaging applications beyond the brain. More specifically, Dr. Dortch focuses on developing MRI methods to overcome specific challenges of nerve and spinal cord imaging, translating these methods to clinical populations (e.g., to guide surgery, improve diagnostics, and serve as biomarkers of therapeutic response), and validating these methods in relevant preclinical models. He applies these methods to evaluate the pathological underpinnings (e.g., demyelination, axonal degeneration) of nerve and spinal cord trauma, peripheral neuropathies, and multiple sclerosis. Dr. Dortch was instrumental in Barrow gaining admission to the North American Imaging in MS Cooperative (NAIMS).
Antonina Dos Santos
Dr. Antonina dos Santos is a research scientist at the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) and leads the Plankton and crustacean Lab. Antonina has been studying taxonomy and ecology of crustacean larvae in Portugal seas.
Much of Antonina research has been the study of unexplored phase of living resources, focusing her studies on larval dispersal and recruitment to the origin population. Besides working on the dispersal and recruitment of crustacean larvae she has also done some work on the taxonomy of the adult phase of caridean shrimps (Decapoda). In 2016 she created the GelAvista citizen science project to monitor the stranding's of jellyfish in Portuguese coasts. Antonina research topics is to investigate how environmental conditions influence ecological patterns and processes, such as abundance and productivity, distribution, and size structure of plankton species. She has been involved in many scientific multidisciplinary projects subject to competitive tendering national and European, and she has been chief scientist on more than 15 multidisciplinary oceanographic surveys off the Portuguese coast. Since 2014 she is the Portuguese member of ICES Science Committee. Antonina has previously worked as Director of the Department of Sea and Marine Resources at IPMA.
Valerie C Doyere
CNRS Director of Research. PhD in Neuroscience, University of Paris 6 (France). CNRS tenured researcher since 1993. HDR in 2007. Team leader since 2010. Head of Cognitive & Network Neuroscience Department of Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience (France). Associate editor or review editor for several on-line access journals.
Tim L A Doyle
Dr Tim Doyle is a biomechanics and physical performance researcher at Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia. He has a broad network having studied within Australia (The University of Queensland, Edith Cowan University) and overseas at Ball State University in the USA. In addition to his academic qualifications he is also an accredited level 2 strength and conditioning coach (ASCA), an accredited level 2 sport scientist and exercise scientist (ESSA). He was awarded an Endeavour Executive Fellowship which provided the opportunity to spend time at The Mayo Clinic and Stanford University. His research involves neuromuscular biomechanics, injury prevention, and physical preparation in athletes and tactical populations.
Kenneth Drinkwater
Dr. Kenneth Drinkwater is a Senior Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University.
His research areas include the following:
- Cognition: perceptual processing, statistical processing, and memory.
- Parapsychology (anomalous experiences, general belief, parapsychology, conspiracy theories)
His other areas of interest are:
- Older Adults & Neuropsychology (TBI/Head injuries/parkinson’s/epilepsy)
- IQ/Intelligence and ability measurement/testing
- Projective methods - Rorschach/thematic apperception tests

Timothy P Driscoll
Associate Professor at West Virginia University Department of Biology. PhD in Genomics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology from Virginia Tech. Our research centers on the distribution, evolution, and design of interventions for zoonotic and vector-borne infectious diseases. I focus on Rickettsiales and other intracellular pathogens, using phylogenomics and related approaches to understand virulence and pathogenicity.
Szymon M Drobniak
I’m a scientist working at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland) and the University of New South Wales in Sydney (Australia). I study biological evolution, with particular interest in quantitative genetics, phenotypic plasticity, evolution of colour and colourful signals, and sexual selection. In my work, I use extensively complex statistical tools and multi-level modelling. Apart from empirical studies, I conduct meta-analyses and comparative analyses, synthesising existing evidence and developing new ways of summarizing empirical evidence.
