Hossein Khiabanian
Hossein is an Associate Professor of Pathology in the Division of Medical Informatics at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. His group develops novel analytical methods to understand the underlying genetics of human diseases and the molecular epidemiology of disease-causing organisms using high-throughput genomic data. The group is especially interested in studying tumor clonal evolution, and identifying prognostic markers in cancer, particularly in hematological malignancies. Hossein received his Ph.D. in Physics from Brown University, where he studied galaxy clusters and dark matter structures, using weak gravitational lensing. Prior to joining Rutgers, he was a member of the faculty in the Department Biomedical Informatics at Columbia University.
Elizabeth G King
Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, University of Missouri. The goal of our research is to explain the diversity of life history strategies among organisms. We primarily, though not exclusively, use insect model systems for our research.

Theerapong Krajaejun
Professor of Clinical Pathology, Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
Rahul Kumar
Dr. Rahul Kumar is an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. He is a computational biologist working in the field of computational cancer genomics.
Imren Kutlu
Dr. Imren Kutlu received her Ph.D. in quantitative genetics from Eskisehir Osmangazi University of Eskisehir- Turkey, in 2012. She worked as a research assistant in the Agricultural Faculty in Eskisehir Osmangazi University–Turkey between 2007-2019. Following this, Dr. Kutlu became Associate Professor of Plant Breeding and Genetics at Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Agricultural Faculty, Field Crops Department.
During her Ph.D. she was skilled with quantitative genetics of cereals crops and applying in breeding of cereal yield and quality. In addition, she studied about agronomical techniques of cereals and legumes cultivation. In her postdoctoral studies, she focused on molecular genetics techniques, which helped her study molecular breeding of cereals crops, particularly for abiotic stress tolerance.
Since 2019. Dr. Kutlu has been researching plant molecular genetics, breeding for cereals crops under the different abiotic stress and supervising graduate/undergraduate researchers.
Generally, her research interests focus on the expression of abiotic stress-responsive genes and proteins, physiological and molecular mechanisms of the abiotic stress response, and tolerance. She also studies the effects of organic and inorganic molecules required for plants to coordinate stress responses under various abiotic stresses.
Daniel J. G. Lahr
I am interested in an array of questions regarding protistan evolution and diversity. I have worked in protistology since my 1st undergraduate year, then did a masters in taxonomy of testate amoebae and a PhD in evolutionary biology, focusing on amoebozoans. My research focuses on constructing phylogenetic trees to answer broad questions in the evolutionary biology of microbes.
