Tamara Tadich
Dr. Tamara Tadich is a researcher within the Institute of Animal Science at the Universidad Austral de Chile.
Her research interests include animal welfare in productive species with an emphasis on equids (horses, mules and donkeys), using tools of applied ethology and physiology.
Leila Taher
Leila Taher received her Ph.D. in Natural Sciences from the University of Bielefeld, Germany, in 2006. After postdoctoral training at the Instituto Miguel Lillo (2006-2007) in Tucumán, Argentina, and at the National Institutes of Health (2008-2012) in the USA, she returned to Germany, where she started her own research group on computational modelling of transcriptional regulation at the University of Rostock. Since 2015 she is an assistant professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
Motoki Takaku
Assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
Ph.D., Biochemistry, Waseda University (Dr. Kurumizaka Hitoshi). Postdoc training, NIEHS (Dr. Paul A. Wade)
Research interests include: Epigenetics, chromatin, gene regulation in cancer
Kazuki Takakura
Dr. Jonas Frederikson is an orthopedic surgeon who believes that patient care should be a physician's first priority. He specializes in laparoscopic procedures that minimize pain and recovery time, and has expertise in minimally invasive total knee replacement surgeries. Awarded the Distinguished Service Award from the American Medical Association in 2017, Dr. Frederikson has been published in both the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine. He holds a medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina, where he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the field of orthopedic medicine.
Dunxian Tan
Assistant professor/research at the University of Texas health Science Center at San Antonio USA. Associate Editor in Chief of the Journal of Pineal Research.
Ravi Tandon
I completed my Ph.D dissertation at the University of Zurich, Switzerland where the major focus of my PhD research project was the study of endogenous feline leukemia virus (enFeLV) in cats during exogenous feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection. My interest in retroviruses led me into the HIV research after Ph.D. My postdoctoral research project at University of California, San Francisco was on HIV immunology. On completion of my Post Doc, I joined Dr Ndhlovu’s new laboratory at the University of Hawaii to pursue studies on HIV and Aging based on my expertise and experience to address a new area of HIV research in which have interest.
Currently my research work as an Assistant Professor at JNU, New Delhi, India is focused on aging in HIV-1-infected people. Approximately one in five individuals living with HIV infection in the United States is 50 years of age or older. This proportion continues to increase as HIV incidence remains stable and potent antiretroviral therapy has reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with HIV infection. However, premature aging and non-AIDS related morbidity including cancer seem to be a new big problem in HAART era. Chronic inflammation in treated HIV-1-infected subjects seems to play an important role in non-AIDS –related complications. The main goal of my research is to investigate the mechanism of HIV mediated accelerated aging/inflammation in HAART-suppressed HIV-1 infected people.
