Member of the Advisory Board of the journal "Green Chemistry" (Royal Society of Chemistry, UK) and the Editorial Advisory Board of the journal "ACS Sustainable Chemistry and Engineering" (American Chemical Society, USA).
I obtained my PhD from the Institute of Cancer Research in London spent a further 10 years there as a postdoctoral fellow and Staff Scientist. I am currently a Lecturer in Molecular Biology at the University of Stirling in Scotland. My principal research interest is translational oncology, with a focus on epigenetics.

I grew up in the south Brazil, alternating times between Montevideo (Uruguay) and Porto Alegre (Brazil). Crossing the Pampas several times made me deeply interested in nature and biology. After, I joined my passion for sports and movement to the area of biology. Last year, after 17 years as Assistent and Associate Professor in the UFRGS (Brazil), I moved to Pavia, and currently I am Professor UniPV, Italy. I am interested in minima, maxima and others optima in terrestrial locomotion & Sports Sciences. The pathological gait is a very interesting area to apply basic concepts of human locomotion. I am very proud to study and principally, to change life in the Parkinson projects. Also, and most important, the study on mechanical determinants of locomotion performance and economy is my passion.

Dr. Worradorn Phairuang is a Lecturer at Chiang Mai University, Thailand. His main research focuses on the chemical and physical characteristics of airborne nanoparticles. His interests cover all the natural and anthropogenic sources, particularly biomass burning including forest fire and agricultural residue burning. He is very interested in emission inventory from biomass burning in Thailand and Asian countries.
Programme Director of Circular Engineering, Maastricht University.
Dr. Paripok Phitsuwan is Assistant Professor in the Division of Biochemical Technology at King Mongkut's Univeristy of Technology, Thonburi.
Dr. Phitsuwan's research focuses on biomass conversion and processing, particularly lignin valorization. He is interested in carbohydrate and lignin active enzymes and their applications in biotechnology-relevant industries and environmental remediation.
Dr. Brett Pickett is an Assistant Professor in the Microbiology and Molecular Biology Department at Brigham Young University. He completed his B.S degree in Microbiology from BYU in 2005, his Ph.D. training in Microbiology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and his postdoctoral training in Pathology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. He then obtained additional experience in industry, and at the J. Craig Venter Institute, where he led investigative studies in viral comparative genomics and the human transcriptional response during viral infection. His research develops data mining methods, applies machine learning techniques, and use advanced statistical workflows to better understand how human cells respond during infection.
Associate Professor of Zoology, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil.
Roberta Pierattelli graduated in Chemistry at the University of Florence and received a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1995. After a postdoctoral year at the University of Southampton, she was appointed at the University of Florence. Since 2017 she is Full Professor of Chemistry. Her research interests are mainly related to applications of NMR spectroscopy to the study of the structure and function of proteins and their interactions.
Assistant Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University.
Stephanie E. Pierce is a trained paleontologist, anatomist, functional morphologist and evolutionary biomechanist. She completed a BSc degree in paleontology at the University of Alberta, Canada, which included an honors thesis on the anatomy and evolution of hadrosaurian dinosaurs. Directly following this, Stephanie pursued a MSc degree by research in Systematics and Evolution at the University of Alberta studying the anatomy and evolutionary relationships of extinct marine lizards. Her love of vertebrate evolution brought her to the University of Bristol, UK where she embarked on a PhD degree which focused on assessing the interplay between skull shape variation and biomechanical performance in extant and extinct crocodiles. Since finishing her studies, Stephanie has focused her main efforts on examining and reconstructing the 3D anatomy and locomotion potential of early tetrapods (Devonian and Carboniferous) to test hypotheses of limbed movement across the water-land transition.
