Muotri, a professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Cellular & Molecular Medicine at the University of California, San Diego, is focusing his research on solving one of life's greatest mysteries: What is it that makes us uniquely human? Research tells us that one of the most influential characteristics of modern humans is our sophisticated brains, and all of the abilities that its complexity grants us. Our unique social brains are one of the key distinguishing factors between humans and other primates. We are even very different from our closest relatives, the Neanderthals, whose brains were limited in their ability to create technology, art, imagination and overall culture. Dr. Muotri is studying the brain from an evolutionary and developmental perspective, differentiating stem cells to recreate \"brain organoids\" in the controlled setting of a lab. This work has implications for the generation of human disease models by determining the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving neurological complex disorders, such as autism. It is also creating opportunities for identifying and testing novel therapeutic approaches; the nature of this work reduces the amount of time required for moving new drugs to clinical trials. Gaining a clearer understanding of human brain evolution is crucial for interpreting human genetic variants which lead to disease. Some of the evolutionary properties that make us uniquely human and allow us to live the advanced lifestyle we enjoy are also a root cause for a number of disorders. Our brain grants us far greater processing power than any other species, but a complex brain came with a cost: it increases the opportunity for neurological diseases. Thus, understanding the evolutionary path and the tradeoffs of the modern human brain will likely illuminate the origins of human disease. \n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1726021107/gesda-platform/person/alysson-muotri_photo__muotri-alysson_dse5tm.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1726021107/gesda-platform/person/alysson-muotri_photo__muotri-alysson_dse5tm.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1726021107/gesda-platform/person/alysson-muotri_photo__muotri-alysson_dse5tm.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1726021107/gesda-platform/person/alysson-muotri_photo__muotri-alysson_dse5tm.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1726021107/gesda-platform/person/alysson-muotri_photo__muotri-alysson_dse5tm.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b089","name":"Alysson Muotri","slug":"alysson-muotri","path":"/people/alysson-muotri","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad27","name":"University of California, San Diego","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7ba","name":"Engineering Human Biology","slug":"engineering-human-biology","path":"/topics/engineering-human-biology","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86b","name":"Human Augmentation","slug":"human-augmentation","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Professor, Departments of Pediatrics and Cellular & Molecular Medicine","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66dab0b560475bb85b1125aa","topic":{"color":{"value":"#078694"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Amrei Müller","description":null,"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1696892197/gesda-23/person/amrei-muller_photo__Amrei_Mu%CC%88ller_kl49ak.png","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1696892197/gesda-23/person/amrei-muller_photo__Amrei_Mu%CC%88ller_kl49ak.png","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1696892197/gesda-23/person/amrei-muller_photo__Amrei_Mu%CC%88ller_kl49ak.png"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1696892197/gesda-23/person/amrei-muller_photo__Amrei_Mu%CC%88ller_kl49ak.png","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1696892197/gesda-23/person/amrei-muller_photo__Amrei_Mu%CC%88ller_kl49ak.png"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b08c","name":"Amrei Müller","slug":"amrei-muller","path":"/people/amrei-muller","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":null,"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":{"value":"#F5A83B"},"openGraph":{"title":"Amy Ogan","description":null,"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668986917/gesda-22/person/amy-ogan_photo__Amy_Ogan_eucszl.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668986917/gesda-22/person/amy-ogan_photo__Amy_Ogan_eucszl.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668986917/gesda-22/person/amy-ogan_photo__Amy_Ogan_eucszl.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668986917/gesda-22/person/amy-ogan_photo__Amy_Ogan_eucszl.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668986917/gesda-22/person/amy-ogan_photo__Amy_Ogan_eucszl.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b08d","name":"Amy Ogan","slug":"amy-ogan","path":"/people/amy-ogan","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ac11","name":"Carnegie-Mellon University","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86e","name":"Science & Diplomacy","slug":"science-and-diplomacy","path":"/trends/science-diplomacy","__typename":"Trend"}],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Thomas and Lydia Moran Associate Professor of Learning Science","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2023","color":{"value":"#0AA288"},"openGraph":{"title":"Anders Meibom","description":{"plain":"Professor at EPFL and University of Lausanne for more than a decade, Meibom leads a research group in the field of biogeochemistry, with a focus on corals and related marine organisms that suffer dramatically from the impact of global warming and other environmental stressors.

Previous to this, Anne-Marie was Deputy Head of the Public-Private Partnerships Division at DCAF in Geneva where she worked for nearly 12 years. In this role she led, under a Swiss government mandate, the development of the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers (ICoC), a multistakeholder initiative which set out international human rights compliant principles and standards for the private security industry. She subsequently led the creation of the International Code of Conduct Association (ICoCA), the mutistakeholder oversight mechanism for the ICoC, where she also served as Interim Executive Director. She also led the development of the Zurich-London Recommendations on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism and Terrorism Online (2017), which sets out human-rights based recommendations for governments to prevent terrorist use of the Internet. Anne-Marie has also contributed to several other innovative approaches to (human) security sector governance, including the Montreux Document, the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights and the Global Network Initiative.\nAnne-Marie consults with governments and international organizations and develops and delivers capacity building in the areas of cyber (human) security policy, preventing violent extremist and terrorist use of the internet, multistakeholder approaches to security sector governance and security sector impacts of private commercial actors.

She earned a degree in Engineering at University of Genova (Italy) and a Ph.D. in Neuroinformatics at ETH Zurich, developing analog subthreshold circuits for emulating biophysical neuronal properties onto silicon and modelling selective attention on hierarchical multi-chip systems.\nShe is currently leading the Event-Driven Perception for Robotics group, with the aim of applying the \"neuromorphic\" engineering approach to the design of robotic platforms as enabling technology towards the design of autonomous machines.\nThis goal is pursued by inducing a paradigm shift in robotics, based on the emerging concept of Event-Driven (ED) sensing and processing. Similarly to their biological counterpart, and differently from traditional robotic sensors, ED sensory systems sample their input signal at fixed (and relative) amplitude changes, intrinsically adapting to the dynamics of the sensory signal: temporal resolution is extremely high for fast transitory signals and decreases for slower inputs.\nThis approach naturally leads to better robots that acquire, transmit and process information only when needed, optimising the use of resources, leading to real-time, low-cost, operation.\nChiara has participated to a number of EU funded projects, she is currently coordinating the European Training Network \"NeuTouch\", where 15 PhD students are studying how touch perception works in humans and animals, in order to develop artificial touch perception systems for robots and hand prosthesis. As leader of the educational activities of the coordination and support action NEUROTECH, she is co-organising the Neuromorphic Colloquium, a series of online events to build up educational material for the next generation of neuromorphic researchers.\nShe is an IEEE member, actively supporting the CAS and RAS societies.

Subsequently, he spent four years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1987 until 2013, Koch was a professor at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, from his initial appointment as Assistant Professor, Division of Biology and Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 1986, to his final position as Lois and Victor Troendle Professor of Cognitive & Behavioral Biology. See here for Christof's academic pedigree and his students. Christof joined the Allen Institute for Brain Science as Chief Scientific Officer in 2011 and became President in 2015. \nChristof’s passion are neurons – the atoms of perception, memory, behavior and consciousness – their diverse shapes, electrical behaviors, and their computational function within the mammalian brain, in particular in neocortex. The Allen Institute for Brain Science is engaged in a major effort to identify all the different types of neurons in the brains of mice and humans – the cell census effort. See the papers below.\nChristof discovered that in vivo cortical neurons do not integrate over large number of small inputs given their spiking variability, how neurons can multiply, the relationship between intra- and extra-cellular potential, and how this gives rise to the local field potential and the large-scale current sinks and sources and how weak extracellular fields can entrain spiking activity via ephaptic effects. He postulated the attentional saliency map hypothesis for biological and computer vision according to which one or more topographic organized spatial maps summarize bottom-up salient information in the visual system, he co-discovered, with Itzhak Fried, an high-level, invariant and abstract single neuron representation of familiar individuals and objects in the human medial temporal lobe (the so-called “Jennifer Aniston” or concept neurons) and developed the ‘continuous flashed suppression’ masking technique.  In collaboration with Francis Crick, he initiated the modern search for the neuronal correlates of consciousness, a systematic experimental program to identify the minimal bio-physical mechanisms jointly sufficient for any one specific conscious percept. In collaboration with Giulio Tononi, he co-developed the Integrated Information Theory of consciousness.\nChristof writings and interests integrate theoretical, computational and experimental neuroscience with philosophy and contemporary trends, in particular artificial intelligence. His latest book, The Feeling of Life Itself – Why Consciousness is Everywhere But Can’t be Computed, was published by MIT Press in Autumn of 2019.\nHis previous book, Consciousness: Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist, blends science and memoir to explore topics in discovering the roots of consciousness. Stemming in part from a long-standing collaboration with the late Nobel Laureate Francis Crick, Christof authored the book The Quest for Consciousness: A Neurobiological Approach. Koch also authored the technical books Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons and Methods in Neuronal Modeling: From Ions to Networks, and served as editor for several books on neural modeling and information processing\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668987026/gesda-22/person/christoph-koch_photo__christof_koch_web.jpg__148x148_q75_crop_subsampling-2_tcnkd8.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668987026/gesda-22/person/christoph-koch_photo__christof_koch_web.jpg__148x148_q75_crop_subsampling-2_tcnkd8.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668987026/gesda-22/person/christoph-koch_photo__christof_koch_web.jpg__148x148_q75_crop_subsampling-2_tcnkd8.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668987026/gesda-22/person/christoph-koch_photo__christof_koch_web.jpg__148x148_q75_crop_subsampling-2_tcnkd8.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668987026/gesda-22/person/christoph-koch_photo__christof_koch_web.jpg__148x148_q75_crop_subsampling-2_tcnkd8.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b0d4","name":"Christoph Koch","slug":"christoph-koch","path":"/people/christoph-koch","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698abf9","name":"Allen Institute of Brain Sciences","location":null},"location":{"__typename":"Location","id":"65c55cfd9e947c438698abc8","slug":"seattle","name":"Seattle","latitude":47.6,"longitude":-122.3},"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7ad","name":"Future of Consciousness","slug":"future-of-consciousness","path":"/topics/future-of-consciousness","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86b","name":"Human Augmentation","slug":"human-augmentation","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":{"id":"65c55cca9e947c438698a457","name":"United States of America","slug":"united-states-of-america","__typename":"Economy","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"openGraph":{"title":"United States of America","image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668981939/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-states-of-america_thumbnail__US_St_Louis_Arch_ynkdxg.jpg","thumbnails":{"bubble":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_64/v1668981939/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-states-of-america_thumbnail__US_St_Louis_Arch_ynkdxg.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668981939/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-states-of-america_thumbnail__US_St_Louis_Arch_ynkdxg.jpg"}}}},"_schema":{"label":"Country","pluralLabel":"Countries"}},"linkedin":null,"position":"Global Expert","topicExpertise":[{"id":"65c55d5b9e947c438698b7de","topic":{"color":{"value":"#078694"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2025","color":{"value":"#0AA288"},"openGraph":{"title":"Nam-Hai Chua","description":{"plain":"Professor  Nam-Hai Chua is currently Andrew W.

With this experience in hand and with the Paris Climate Change Conference taking shape, she joined the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) to focus on global challenges, working closely with businesses, NGOs and governments to build transformative solutions for the 2030 Agenda. In 2018, Ms Robinson managed the leadership transition of the Antenna Foundation, bringing safe, affordable technology to developing countries in the areas of health, agro-ecology, water, hygiene, energy and nutrition. Ms Robinson still serves on several boards where her broad experience brings a unique perspective.

From a top down perspective, I use a multi-scale approach to understand the genetic and physiological controls systems that govern patterning, morphogenesis, and remodeling.  From the bottom up, I then use these control knobs in basic and biomedical science contexts, to direct specific anatomical and behavioral outcomes.\nA recent focus of this work has been the creation of engineered living systems - designed by a computer and then built from amphibian stem cells.  These \"biomachines\" have opened a whole new field of research, allowing us to move between simulated (in silico) and biological (in vivo) worlds and answer a number of fundamental questions about biological control systems, cellular communication, tissue plasticity, and self-assembly.  I received my Ph.D. from Georgetown University where I worked under Dr. Martha Weiss and Dr. Elena Silva on brain remodeling in lepidopteran species.  There I performed several innovative studies asking the question, can a larva (caterpillar) learn something a moth or butterfly can later remember?  The results of those studies were the first to demonstrate trans-metamorphic memory in lepidoptera and piqued my interest in how an organism responds to organization/patterning changes across developmental time-space.  This interest has remained central in my career and continues to drive all the projects in the lab\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668987069/gesda-22/person/douglas-blackiston_photo__blackiston-douglascrop2_7_lvloxq.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668987069/gesda-22/person/douglas-blackiston_photo__blackiston-douglascrop2_7_lvloxq.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668987069/gesda-22/person/douglas-blackiston_photo__blackiston-douglascrop2_7_lvloxq.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668987069/gesda-22/person/douglas-blackiston_photo__blackiston-douglascrop2_7_lvloxq.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668987069/gesda-22/person/douglas-blackiston_photo__blackiston-douglascrop2_7_lvloxq.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b0f0","name":"Douglas Blackiston","slug":"douglas-blackiston","path":"/people/douglas-blackiston","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad04","name":"Tuft University Department of Biology","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Senior Research Scientist","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Eduardo Schenberg","description":{"plain":"Eduardo is a Brazilian neuroscientist, with a degree in biomedicine, a masters in psychopharmacology and a doctorate in neurosciences.

Under his leadership, the Global Commission on the Future of Work was established in 2017. Subsequently, the International Labour Conference adopted the Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work in 2019.

Her research focuses on answering the question of how automated systems can achieve this by being aware of people as social beings. So much of our lives revolve around face-to-face communication. It affects our relationships with others, the influence they have over us, and how this can ultimately transform into decisions that affect a single person or many more people. However, we know relatively little about how to automate the perception of social behaviour and recent research findings only touch the tip of the iceberg.

She holds a Ph.D. in developmental neurobiology from the University Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg, France for a doctoral thesis conducted at the Friedrich Miescher Institute in Basel. She trained as postdoc in the lab of Eric Kandel at the Center for Learning and Memory at Columbia University in New York and then established her own lab as assistant professor in neurobiology at ETH Zurich. \nI. Mansuy initially conducted research in molecular cognition and made landmark discoveries on the mechanisms of forgetting by identifying memory suppressors in the mammalian brain. In parallel, in early 2000s, she started to work on epigenetic inheritance and is one of the pioneers and founders of this new research discipline. I Mansuy is studying the epigenetic basis of heritable traits induced by life experiences. \nHer work demonstrated that adverse conditions in early life such as traumatic stress can alter behavior, physiology and metabolism across multiple generations in mice, and that inheritance depends on non-DNA factors in germ cells, particularly sperm RNA. \nThis discovery established the existence of an RNA-based form of heredity in mammals independent from the DNA sequence, …(text continues on next page)...\nsimilarly to what’s known in plants and invertebrates. The fundaments of these findings in mice are being validated by translational studies in trauma patients in humans. This research provides important mechanistic advances about the influence of the environment on brain and body functions and is highly relevant for heritable environmental diseases. It has a major impact on evolution and offers an alternative to classical genetics for rapid organismic plasticity. It also has important societal and ethical  implications. I. Mansuy co-authored >200 research articles, reviews and book chapters in neurosciences and epigenetics. She also published a book on epigenetics for the lay public in French and German “Reprenons le contrôle de nos gènes”, Larousse (April 2019) and “Wir können unsere Gene steuern” Berlin Verlag (Aug 2020). She is active in multiple scientific and research funding boards, is member of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences, the European Academy of Sciences (EURASC), and the European Molecular Biology Organization.

M. Henderson, M.D. is director of the Stanford program in Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery. Following his residency at St. Louis University and fellowship training at Loma Linda University, he started the functional neurosurgery program at St. Louis University, where he remained on staff for 6 years. He then moved to the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in 2001, joining their world-class functional neurosurgery program which at the time was the busiest in the US. He has directed the Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery program at Stanford since 2004.\nDuring his residency in the early 1990’s, Dr. Henderson was intimately involved with the development of the new field of image-guided surgery. This innovative technology has revolutionized the practice of neurosurgery, allowing for safer and more effective operations with reduced operating time. Dr. Henderson remains one of the world’s foremost experts on the application of image-guided surgical techniques to functional neurosurgical procedures such as the placement of deep brain stimulators for movement disorders, epilepsy, pain, and psychiatric diseases. His major research focus is in brain-machine interfaces for the restoration of movement and communication for people with severe neurological disorders, co-directing the Stanford Neural Prosthetics Translational Laboratory along with engineer / neuroscientist Krishna Shenoy for the past 13+ years.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1695011696/gesda-23/person/jaimie-henderson_photo__Jamie_Henderson_hqfj8o.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1695011696/gesda-23/person/jaimie-henderson_photo__Jamie_Henderson_hqfj8o.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1695011696/gesda-23/person/jaimie-henderson_photo__Jamie_Henderson_hqfj8o.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1695011696/gesda-23/person/jaimie-henderson_photo__Jamie_Henderson_hqfj8o.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1695011696/gesda-23/person/jaimie-henderson_photo__Jamie_Henderson_hqfj8o.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b149","name":"Jaimie Henderson","slug":"jaimie-henderson","path":"/people/jaimie-henderson","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ace9","name":"Stanford University","location":null},"location":{"__typename":"Location","id":"66f3b4a39d6d53bba1628abe","slug":"palo-alto","name":"Palo Alto","latitude":37.468319,"longitude":-122.143936},"trends":[{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86b","name":"Human Augmentation","slug":"human-augmentation","path":"/trends/human-augmentation","__typename":"Trend"}],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7aa","name":"Cognitive Enhancement","slug":"cognitive-enhancement","path":"/topics/cognitive-enhancement","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86b","name":"Human Augmentation","slug":"human-augmentation","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Director of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, School of Medicine / Co-Director Stanford Neural Prosthetics Translational Laboratory (NPTL)","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66daad8660475bb85b1124b4","topic":{"color":{"value":"#078694"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2024","color":{"value":"#F5A83B"},"openGraph":{"title":"Jake Sotiriadis","description":{"plain":"Jake Sotiriadis is Director of the Center for Futures Intelligence at the National Intelligence University (NIU) in Washington, DC.

He was already enthusiastic about space travel at the age of 8 and was all the more pleased to get in touch with DLR during his doctorate. For the first time he was able to test organisms from alpine permafrost under simulated space conditions at the Institute for Aerospace Medicine in the Department of Radiation Biology in Cologne. After completing his doctorate, he remained connected to DLR during various research stays in Italy, England and Spain. During this time, he was already involved as a co-investigator in various space experiments such as BIOPAN 6 on the FOTON M3 satellite and LIFE on the EXPOSE-E exposure platform on the Columbus module of the ISS. Since 2009 he has been employed at the DLR at the Institute for Planetary Research in Berlin as part of the Helmholtz Alliance \"Planetary Evolution and Life\", where he worked as a topic leader on the topic of the physics of water on other planets and its importance for life. At the same time he took over the management of the Mars simulation laboratory from Prof. Dr. Moehlmann. In 2009/10 he took part in the first Antarctic expedition GANOVEX 10, where he collected samples for the ESA space experiment BIOMEX, which he has also been leading as chief scientist since 2010. BIOMEX was launched into space with a wealth of biological samples on July 24, 2014 with a Soyuz rocket and was mounted on the EXPOSE-R2 outside of the Russian Zvezda module with the help of two outboard missions by Russian cosmonauts, whereby after a successful space exposure these samples will return to the laboratories of his international cooperation partners and his laboratory for further analysis in 2016. Jean-Pierre de Vera and his international colleagues are currently preparing a new ESA space experiment called BIOSIGN, which is intended to simulate the environmental conditions of Mars and the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn in close Earth orbit. For this he needs new samples from the deep sea and also new samples from Antarctica. He will collect the samples during the GANOVEX 11 Expedition (2015/16) under the direction of the BGR in the Antarctic. The deep-sea samples are contributed by GEOMAR as part of the Helmholtz Alliance ROBEX.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668987229/gesda-22/person/jean-pierre-de-vera_photo__deVera_306_fwhtru.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668987229/gesda-22/person/jean-pierre-de-vera_photo__deVera_306_fwhtru.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668987229/gesda-22/person/jean-pierre-de-vera_photo__deVera_306_fwhtru.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668987229/gesda-22/person/jean-pierre-de-vera_photo__deVera_306_fwhtru.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668987229/gesda-22/person/jean-pierre-de-vera_photo__deVera_306_fwhtru.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b15b","name":"Jean-Pierre de Vera","slug":"jean-pierre-de-vera","path":"/people/jean-pierre-de-vera","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ac2e","name":"Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR)","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7b2","name":"Science of the Origins of Life","slug":"science-of-the-origins-of-life","path":"/topics/science-of-the-origins-of-life","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86c","name":"Knowledge Foundations","slug":"knowledge-foundations","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Head of Department","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66fa142a509e3a5f0784de96","topic":{"color":{"value":"#292929"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2022","color":{"value":"#693973"},"openGraph":{"title":"Jennifer Chayes","description":{"plain":"Jennifer Chayes is Associate Provost of the Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society, and Dean of the School of Information.

After high school, he moved across the language boarder to the French-speaking University of Lausanne, where he completed his undergraduate studies. During those, he spent one year at the University of British Columbia (UBC), in Vancouver, Canada, where he started to become interested in neuroscience and psychology. His M.Sc. thesis, conducted with Laurent Keller in 2005, then focused on the genetic causes of aging in ants. Intrigued by how genes can influence behavior – and vice versa – he started a Ph.D. thesis in the lab of Isabelle Mansuy at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETHZ) to specialize on the neuroepigenetic mechanisms that regulate learning and memory. He obtained his Ph.D. in 2009, and stayed on for a short while as a postdoctoral fellow. In 2009, he moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA, USA to start his postdoctoral work under the supervision of Li-Huei Tsai. During this time, he could for the first time show that the epigenetic machinery is causally involved in cognitive decline associated with neurodegeneration, as well as with updating long-term traumatic memories in a mouse model of post-traumatic stress disorder. Since 2013, Johannes Gräff is a tenure-track assistant professor at the Brain Mind Institute of the School of Life Sciences, and the Nestle Chair for Neurosciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL).

Douglas Bremner, MD, is  Professor of Psychiatry and Radiology and Director of the Emory Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, and a Staff Psychiatrist at the Atlanta VAMC in Decatur, Georgia. Dr. Bremner moved to Emory from Yale in November of 2000 where he spent the first 12 years of his career.\nDr. Bremner’s research has used neuroimaging and neurobiology measures to study the neural correlates and neurobiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to combat and childhood abuse, as well as the related area of depression. His more recent work is expanding to look at the relationship between brain, behavior, and physical health including studies of heart disease and the brain. Dr. Bremner has worked continuously throughout his career as a physician scientist, with the support of funding from two successive VA Career Development Awards, VA Merit Review, NIH, DOD, and various private sources. His research included studies of the neurobiology and assessment of PTSD, hippocampus and memory in PTSD and depression, neural correlates of declarative memory and traumatic remembrance in PTSD, PET measurement of neuroreceptor binding in mood and anxiety disorders, neural correlates of myocardial ischemia, and the effects of treatments on the  brain including psychotropic medication, mindfulness training, and Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS).\nFollowing obtaining a bachelors degree in literature, Dr. Bremner attended medical school at Duke University where he graduated in 1987, followed by residency in Psychiatry (1991) and Nuclear Medicine (1997) at Yale School of Medicine, leading to a double board certification. Dr Bremner was a VA Biological Psychiatry Fellow at the West Haven VA and Yale from 1990-1993, Assistant and Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Radiology from 1993 to 2000, Director of the Yale Trauma Research Program and Associate Director of the Yale PET Center, before moving to Emory in 2000.

He then matriculated as an MD-PhD student at Cornell and Rockefeller Universities and worked with Peter Model and Norton Zinder on how restriction enzymes recognize specific DNA sequences and how bacteria respond to and repair DNA breaks and nicks. Dr. Heitman moved as an EMBO long-term fellow to the Biocenter in Basel Switzerland where, in studies with Mike Hall and Rao Movva, pioneered the use of yeast as a model for studies of immunosuppressive drug action. Their studies elucidated the central role of FKBP12 in forming complexes with FK506 and rapamycin that inhibit cell signaling and growth, discovered Tor1 and Tor2 as the targets of rapamycin, and contributed to the appreciation that immunosuppressive drugs inhibit signal transduction cascades that are conserved from yeasts to humans.\nDr. Heitman moved to Duke University in 1992, and is a member of the Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology where his studies focus on microorganisms addressing fundamental biological questions and unmet medical needs.  Dr. Heitman and colleagues focus on model and pathogenic yeasts including Cryptococcus neoformans and other diverse species from the fungal kingdom. Their studies with fungi as genetic models have revealed biological and genetic principles that can be generalized as models for eukaryotic cell and organism function. These include discovering FKBP12 and Tor1/2 as the targets of the immunosuppressive anti-proliferative natural product rapamycin, elucidating central roles of the calcium activated phosphatase calcineurin governing fungal virulence and morphogenesis and antifungal drug action, deciphering how cells sense and respond to nutrients via permeases, G protein coupled receptors, and the Tor signaling cascade, and illustrating how both model and pathogenic fungi sense both the environment and the infected host. In parallel, their studies address the evolution, structure, and function of fungal mating type loci as models for gene cluster and sex chromosome evolution.  The discovery of an ancestral sex determining locus in the basal fungal lineages involving two HMG domain proteins, SexM and SexP, homologous to the mammalian Sry sex determinant provides insights into both the origins of sex specification and its plasticity throughout the radiation of the fungal and metazoan kingdoms from their last shared common ancestor.  Their discovery of unisexual mating in fungi and subsequent analysis of its impact on the evolution of eukaryotic microbial pathogens provides insights into both microbial evolution and pathogenesis and how sexual reproduction may have first evolved.  Recent studies have unveiled novel mechanisms of antimicrobial drug resistance involving epimutations that silence drug-target genes via RNAi, functions of RNAi in genomic integrity of microbial pathogens, and loss of RNAi in hypervirulent outbreak lineages.\nDr. Heitman is a recipient of the Burroughs Wellcome Scholar Award in Molecular Pathogenic Mycology (1998-2005), the 2002 ASBMB AMGEN award for significant contributions using molecular biology to our understanding of human disease, and the 2003 Squibb Award from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) for outstanding contributions to infectious disease research, the 2018 Korsmeyer Award from the American Society for Clinical Investigation, and the 2018 Rhoda Benham Award from the Medical Mycological Society of the Americas.  He is the recipient of an NIH/NIAID MERIT award 2011-2021 in support of studies on fungal unisexual reproduction in microbial pathogen evolution, a Duke University translational research mentoring award in 2012, and a Dean’s Award for Excellence in Mentoring from the Duke Graduate School in 2018.  He has served as an instructor in residence since 1998 for the Molecular Mycology Course at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, MA. Dr. Heitman is an editor for the journals PLOS Genetics, Genetics (2012-2017), PLOS Pathogens (Pearls review editor), Current Genetics (2001-2014), mBio, and Fungal Genetics and Biology; a member of the editorial boards of PLOS Biology, Current Biology, Cell Host and Microbe, and PeerJ; former editor for PLOS Pathogens (mycology section editor, 2008-2011) and Eukaryotic Cell (2002-2012); an advisory board member for the Fungal Genome Initiative at the Broad Institute, the Fungal Kingdom Genome Project at the Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, the NIAID Genomic Sequencing Centers for Infectious Diseases, and for the Integrated Microbial Biodiversity Program at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR); co-chair for the Duke Chancellor’s Science Advisory Council (2009-2010); and co-chair/chair for the FASEB summer conference on Microbial Pathogenesis: Mechanisms of Infectious Disease (2011, 2013).

He earned his PhD from Stanford University, was awarded over 300 patents for VR, AR, and AI technologies, and founded a number of successful companies including Unanimous AI,  Immersion Corporation, Microscribe, and Outland Research.\nRosenberg began his career at Air Force Research Laboratory in the early 1990’s where he created the first functional augmented reality system. Known as the Virtual Fixtures platform, it enabled users to interact with a mixed reality of real and virtual objects for the very first time.\nRosenberg then founded the early VR company Immersion Corp (1993) and brought the company public in 1999 (NASDAQ: IMMR). Immersion pioneered many technologies from the first VR simulators for medical schools to the first haptic devices for consumer markets including the first haptic mice and joysticks and touchscreens.\nRosenberg also founded Microscribe, maker of 3D digitizers used in the production of video games and feature films, including major 3D films such as Shrek, Ice Age, and Bugs Life (acquired in 2009)\nRosenberg also founded Outland Research in 2004, a developer of augmented reality and mobile media technologies (acquired in 2011).\nRosenberg was also a Professor at California State University (Cal Poly) teaching engineering, design, ed-tech, and entrepreneurship.\nMost recently, Rosenberg founded Unanimous AI (2014) to amplify the intelligence of networked human groups using the biological principle of Swarm Intelligence.  The idea panned out, resulting in Swarm AI, an award-winning technology used by a wide range of organizations from Fortune 500 corporations to the United Nations.\nIn addition, Rosenberg writes often for VentureBeat and Big Think on a wide range of topics from artificial intelligence and biological swarms, to virtual reality, augmented reality, and the dangers the metaverse.\nTo help push for safe metaverse technologies, Dr. Rosenberg also volunteers as the Chief Scientist of the Responsible Metaverse Alliance and as the Global Technology Advisor to the XR Safety Initiative (XRSI).

at Tufts and the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. Recent honors include the Scientist of Vision award and the Distinguished Scholar Award. His group’s focus is on understanding the biophysical mechanisms that implement decision-making during complex pattern regulation, and harnessing endogenous bioelectric dynamics toward rational control of growth and form. The lab’s current main directions are:\n• Understanding how somatic cells form bioelectrical networks for storing and recalling pattern memories that guide morphogenesis;\n• Creating next-generation AI tools for helping scientists understand top-down control of pattern regulation (a new bioinformatics of shape); and\n• Using these insights to enable new capabilities in regenerative medicine and engineering.\nPrior to college, Michael Levin worked as a software engineer and independent contractor in the field of scientific computing. He attended Tufts University, interested in artificial intelligence and unconventional computation. To explore the algorithms by which the biological world implemented complex adaptive behavior, he got dual B.S. degrees, in CS and in Biology and then received a PhD from Harvard University. He did post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School (1996-2000), where he began to uncover a new bioelectric language by which cells coordinate their activity during embryogenesis. His independent laboratory (2000-2007 at Forsyth Institute, Harvard; 2008-present at Tufts University) develops new molecular-genetic and conceptual tools to probe large-scale information processing in regeneration, embryogenesis, and cancer suppression.\nAt the Wyss Institute, he collaborates with Donald Ingber and James Collins on a program focused on development of a highly multiplexed, microfluidic, Xenopus embryo culture system that will enable discovery of new drug targets and development of therapeutics when combined with multi-omics and an integrated bioinformatics pipeline. The team’s initial focus is on development of therapeutics that enhance host tolerance to infections, as part of a DARPA-funded THoR research program.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668987409/gesda-22/person/michael-levin_photo__120716_8672_levin092-e1490124168395_fnrg7e.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668987409/gesda-22/person/michael-levin_photo__120716_8672_levin092-e1490124168395_fnrg7e.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668987409/gesda-22/person/michael-levin_photo__120716_8672_levin092-e1490124168395_fnrg7e.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668987409/gesda-22/person/michael-levin_photo__120716_8672_levin092-e1490124168395_fnrg7e.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668987409/gesda-22/person/michael-levin_photo__120716_8672_levin092-e1490124168395_fnrg7e.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b1bf","name":"Michael Levin","slug":"michael-levin","path":"/people/michael-levin","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad04","name":"Tuft University Department of Biology","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Distinguished Professor, Vannevar Bush Chair","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Michael Møller","description":{"plain":"Mr Møller spent 40 years as an international civil servant in the United Nations.

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights was established in 1993 and Ms. Bachelet is the seventh Commissioner.\nMs. Bachelet was elected President of Chile on two occasions (2006 – 2010 and 2014 – 2018). She was the first female president of Chile. She served as Health Minister (2000-2002) as well as Chile’s and Latin America’s first female Defense Minister (2002 – 2004).\nDuring her presidential tenures, she promoted the rights of all but particularly those of the most vulnerable. Among her many achievements, education and tax reforms, as well as the creation of the National Institute for Human Rights and the Museum of Memory and Human Rights stand out, as do the establishment of the Ministry of Women and Gender Equality, the adoption of quotas to increase women’s political participation, and the approval of Civil Union Act legislation, granting rights to same sex couples and thus, advancing LGBT rights.\nSince the early 1990s, Ms. Bachelet has worked closely with many international organizations. In 2010 she chaired the Social Protection Floor Advisory Group, a joint International Labor Organization (ILO) and World Health Organization (WHO) initiative, which sought to promote social policies to stimulate economic growth and social cohesion.\nIn 2011, she was named the first Director of UN Women, an organization dedicated to fighting for the rights of women and girls internationally. Economic empowerment and ending violence against women were two of her priorities during her tenure. She has recently pledged to be a Gender Champion, committing to advance gender equality in OHCHR and in international fora.\nAfter finishing her second term in March 2018, she was named Chair of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, an alliance of more than 1000 organizations in 192 countries from the sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health communities. As Co-Chair of the High-Level Steering Group for Every Woman Every Child, Ms. Bachelet launched Every Woman Every Child Latin America and the Caribbean, the first platform for tailored, regional implementation of the EWEC Global Strategy.\nMichelle Bachelet has a Medical Degree in Surgery, with a specialization in Pediatrics and Public Health. She also studied military strategy at Chile's National Academy of Strategy and Policy and at the Inter-American Defense College in the United States.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668987423/gesda-22/person/michelle-bachelet_photo__RTCKBD_K_400x400_spudzj.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668987423/gesda-22/person/michelle-bachelet_photo__RTCKBD_K_400x400_spudzj.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668987423/gesda-22/person/michelle-bachelet_photo__RTCKBD_K_400x400_spudzj.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668987423/gesda-22/person/michelle-bachelet_photo__RTCKBD_K_400x400_spudzj.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668987423/gesda-22/person/michelle-bachelet_photo__RTCKBD_K_400x400_spudzj.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b1c6","name":"Michelle Bachelet","slug":"michelle-bachelet","path":"/people/michelle-bachelet","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad0f","name":"United Nations","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"High Commissioner for Human Rights","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2022","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Mike Harfoot","description":{"plain":"Mike is an earth system scientist with a strong interest in the biological world and his work primarily involves developing mechanistic models to project biodiversity futures.

As a PhD student, under the supervision of Prof. Daniel Segal and Prof. Ehud Gazit, she studied the role of protein glycosylation in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease, and in collaboration with Prof. Shai Rahimipour from Bar-Ilan University, she synthesized glycopeptides to study the effect of glycans on peptide self-assembly. Moran then became a NASA postdoctoral fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta and, subsequently, a research scientist in its School of Chemistry. As a member of the Center for Chemical Evolution and team leader at the NASA Center for Origins of Life, Moran focused on elucidating mechanisms that lead to the formation of proto-peptides that can spontaneously polymerize, fold, and interact with nucleic acids under prebiotic conditions. Moran grew up in a moshav in northern Israel called Aviel.

Core to the Co-Impact model is deep, ongoing support to partners to execute their vision and generate political will for systemic change in the sectors of health, education, and economic opportunity.\nPrior to Co-Impact, Olivia served as founding director of the Giving Pledge, an effort launched by Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett to help address society’s most pressing problems by encouraging wealthy families from around the world to commit the majority of their wealth to philanthropy. She led the development of the strategy from inception, including the design of learning opportunities and other engagements, grew the community to more than 130 families (now more than 200), and built the core team. In an earlier role at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, she led several cross-foundation initiatives focused on grantmaking approaches, public-private partnerships, and organizational effectiveness.\nOlivia has extensive experience in working with governments to structure and support large-scale programs. At the Millennium Challenge Corporation, she developed a series of multimillion-dollar projects aimed at reducing poverty and supporting economic growth in the areas of financial services and private sector development – working closely with civil society and in-country teams in Benin, Ghana and Morocco to determine the best use of US government funds and support implementation. Through her own consulting practice, Olivia also advised on a dissemination strategy for the Business Linkages Challenge Fund, a DFID-funded £17 million cost-sharing grant scheme promoting private sector partnerships within the agriculture, healthcare, manufacturing, and tourism sectors.\nGender equality and women’s leadership have been core themes running throughout Olivia’s career including focusing her undergraduate and postgraduate dissertations around gender equity in relation to education and microfinance; working on a campaign against teen dating violence in the United States; advising institutions such as Women’s World Banking, and microfinance NGOs such as Mi-Bospo in Bosnia; serving on the Board of the International Center for Research on Women; and ensuring the adoption of a gender lens throughout all aspects of Co-Impact’s work.\nOlivia also serves as Senior Vice President at The Rockefeller Foundation and sits on the Board of the Full Frame Initiative. In 2014, she was distinguished as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. She and her work have been featured in media outlets including the Financial Times, Bloomberg, Barron’s, and Forbes, and she speaks regularly on the role of philanthropy in supporting large-scale change.\nOlivia received an AB in Social Studies from Harvard University and an MSc in Development Management with a focus on gender and development from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Having obtained a master in physics at Lausanne University, he moved to astrophysics and get interested in the dynamics of spiral galaxies.\nThe PhD of Michel Mayor was devoted to the search of evidence of spiral structure in the Milky Way in the velocity distribution of stars close to the Sun. To test that possibility, at the end of his PhD he decided to develop a new specific spectrograph to measure stellar radial velocities. This was the start of his interest in stellar kinematics. This research led to various fields of interest, among which the dynamics of globular clusters and the study of statistical characteristics of solar-type binary stars (Duquennoy, Mayor, 1991). He was naturally driven to study small mass companions to stars analogous to our Sun. By the end of the 1980’s the evolution of technology was such to allow for the development of a new spectrograph. This spectrograph, built at the Haute-Provence Observatory, reached a level of precision permitting to detect extra-solar planets.\nPart of a large survey, with Didier Queloz, one of his graduate students, they have detected, in 1995, the planetary companion to the solar-type star 51 Pegasi: this was the first detection of an exoplanet. This discovery has resulted in the advent of an exciting new research field “exoplanets”. As a result of constant improvements to his high dispersion spectrographs Mayor’s work has significantly contributed to the discovery of “super-Earth” planets with mass greater than that of Earth.\nIn 2000, Michel Mayor took the lead for the construction of a new spectrograph: HARPS, optimized to search for very low mass planets. This spectrograph revealed the large occurrence of the subpopulation of super-Earths on tight orbits, challenging the scenarios of planetary formation. Apart from his research activity, Michel Mayor initiates a series of advanced level courses of Astrophysics since 1971, the “Saas-Fee courses”. He was a co-organizer for nine of these courses. From 1984 to 2007, he was teaching astrophysics at Geneva University for undergraduate courses at the department of physics as well as post-graduate ones at the department of astronomy. From 1998 to 2004, Michel Mayor was Director of the Geneva Observatory. He was also active in ESO (the European Southern Observatory), being the Chairman of the Scientific and Technological Committee of that organization (1990-92) and the Swiss delegate to the Council of ESO (2003-2007).\nIn the frame of the IAU (International Astronomical Union) Michel Mayor chaired the Commission on the “Structure and Dynamics of the Galactic System” (1988-1991), as well as the new Commission devoted to “Extra-solar planets” (2006-2009).\nTwenty years after the discovery of 51Peg b, Michel Mayor is still very active to detect and characterize exoplanets, devoting a large fraction of his time as a member of his group of research as well as inspiring other teams. For example, Michel Mayor was at the origin (with D. Latham) of the development of a northern copy of the overwhelming HARPS spectrograph to measure the mass of rocky planets detected by the Kepler space mission.

His primary research tools are the interpretation and analysis of observational data coupled with the use of models ranging in complexity from simple box models to general circulation models.\nCurriculum Vitae\nNicolas Gruber has been Full Professor of Environmental Physics at the Department of Environmental Sciences at ETH Zurich since July 2006.\nDr. Gruber was born in Peru in 1968, and moved to Switzerland at the age of 6.\nAfter his Matura in 1989, he was among the first students to enter the new Environmental Sciences degree program at ETH Zurich. As part of his undergraduate studies, he spent one year at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California, where he worked with the late Charles D. Keeling, sparking his interests in the human perturbation of the global carbon cycle. After earning his diploma degree in 1993, Dr. Gruber went to the University of Bern for his Ph.D. studies, which he completed in 1997. He then worked for three years as a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University. In 2000, he joined the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles, first as an assistant professor, and from 2005 until 2007 as a tenured associate professor. In 2006, he was appointed as a full professor at ETH Zurich.\nDr. Gruber has written over 170 peer-​reviewed publications, with more than 20 having appeared in Science, Nature, and the offsprings of Nature. \nDr. Gruber, together with Jorge Sarmiento from Princeton University, is author of the textbook \"Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics\" that has become a standard text in the field. In recognition of his outstanding contribution to Marine Sciences, Dr. Gruber received the Rosenstiel Award from the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences of the University of Miami in 2004. In 2012 he was elected fellow of the American Geophysical Union.

He is the Ingeborg and Ira Leon Rennert Chair of Aging Research, professor in the Departments of Medicine and Genetics, and member of the Diabetes Research Center and of the Divisions of Endocrinology & Diabetes and Geriatrics.\nDr. Barzilai’s research interests are in the biology and genetics of aging. One focuses on the genetic of exceptional longevity, where we hypothesize and demonstrated that centenarians have protective genes, which allows the delay of aging or for the protection against age-related diseases. In a Program he is leading we take full advantage of phenotypes, DNA, and cells from the Ashkenazi Jewish families with exceptional longevity and the appropriate controls and his group have established at Einstein (over 2600 samples of which ~670 are centenarians) and discovered underling genomic differences associated with longevity. Longevity Genes Project (LGP) is a cross-sectional, on-going collection of blood and phenotype from families with centenarian proband. LonGenity is a longitudinal study of 1400 subjects, half offspring of parents with exceptional longevity, validating and following their aging in relationship to their genome. The second direction, for which Dr. Barzilai is holding an NIH Merit award that focuses on the metabolic decline of aging, and his team hypothesize that the brain leads this decline. His lab has identified several central pathways that specifically alter body fat distribution and insulin action and secretion by intraventricular or hypothalamic administration of several peptides that are modulated by aging including: Leptin, IGF-1, IGFBP3 and resveratrol.\nHe has received numerous grants, among them ones from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), American Federation for Aging Research, the Ellison Medical Foundation and The Glenn Medical foundation. He has published over 280 peer-reviewed papers, reviews, and textbook chapters. He is an advisor to the NIH on several projects and serves on several editorial boards and is a reviewer for numerous other journals. Dr. Barzilai is in the Scientific Director and on the board of the American Federation for Aging Research, is its co-scientific director, and has served on several NIA study section. He is also a founder of CohBar Inc., a biotech that develops mitochondrial derived peptides as therapy for aging and its diseases and of Lifebioscince biotech. Dr. Barzilai has been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Beeson Fellow for Aging Research, the Ellison Medical Foundation Senior Scholar in Aging Award, the Paul F. Glenn Foundation Award, the NIA Nathan Shock Award, the 2010 Irving S. Wright Award of Distinction in Aging Research and the IPSEN Longevity Prize (2016).\nHe is currently leading an international effort to approve drugs that can target aging. Targeting Aging with METformin (TAME) is a specific study designed to prove the concept that multi-morbidities of aging can be delayed by metformin, working with the FDA to approve this approach which will serve as a template for future efforts to delay aging and its diseases in humans.\nBorn in Israel, Dr. Barzilai served as chief medic and physician in the Israel Defense Forces. He graduated from The Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa and completed his residency in internal medicine at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. He served in a refugee camp during the war in Cambodia (1979-1980) and built a nutritional village in the homeland of the Zulu (1983 – Kwazulu). He has completed 2 fellowships at Yale (metabolism) and Corenell (Endocrinoology and molecular Medicine). He was an invited speaker to the 4th Israeli President Conference (2012) and a Vatican conference on efforts to enhance cures (2013, 2016). He has also taken part in Global initiatives and spoke at The Milken Global Institute, Asian Megatrends and is an advisor for the Prime Minister of Singapore on Aging. Dr. Barzilai has been on the ‘Forward 50, top 50 influence Jews in the US (2011). His work has been profiled by major outlets, including the New York Times, the BBC and PBS' NOVA science now, TEDMED and several TEDx talk is the leading feature on the Ron Howard/Jonathan Silberberg/National Geographic film about the Age of Aging.

B. Tauris, 2013), I argued for the creative strategies, resilience and enduring strengths of the seemingly 'weak' Philippine state in successfully keeping itself intact. The completion of this project was only possible with the generous help of the Filipino people, the Philippine government and the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines. \nThrough a series of dialogues within an international networks of theologians and scholars, 'Discerning the Powers in Post-Colonial Africa and Asia: A Treatise of Christian Statecraft' (Springer Nature 2016) was an intended contribution to the inter-connected fields of political sociology/science, political theology and post-colonial studies. The book also depicts the larger intellectual context and project of 'Bandung: Journal of the Global South', which I founded with a group of distinguished scholars, senior policy-makers and forefront practitioners since 2013. Having published by Springer Nature from 2015 to 2018, 'Bandung: Journal of the Global South' has been published by Brill Publishers (Leiden & Boston) since 2019. \nThrough the researh and writing of the book 'Destined Statecraft: Eurasian Small Power Politics and Strategic Cultures in Geopolitical Shifts' (Springer Nature 2018), I was privileged to have participated in and contributed to the research projects of not just in the academia, but also to the policy-making discussions and processes in a number of think-tanks, NGOs, governments, foreign service/affairs ministries and the Church, especially in the Global South. \nIn 'Logics of the Powers: Towards an Impact-driven Practice of Futurist Statecraft' (Routledge 2022) and 'Techno-Geopolitics: U.S.-China Tech War and the Practice of Digital Statecraft' (Routledge 2022), apart from outlining a new research strategy which aims to shape and co-create the global future with policy-makers and practitioners across the world, I devised new concepts including the 'non-human agency', which captures the agency of such non-human entities as artificial intelligence and robotics for preparing for a more sustainable and interstellar future of human mankind. \nMy hearts and thoughts are often with the weak, the small and the inarticulated. Tears and sorrows can be sacred. \n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668987494/gesda-22/person/pak-nung-wong_photo__Screenshot_2022-09-09_at_11.29.15_dpwefx.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668987494/gesda-22/person/pak-nung-wong_photo__Screenshot_2022-09-09_at_11.29.15_dpwefx.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668987494/gesda-22/person/pak-nung-wong_photo__Screenshot_2022-09-09_at_11.29.15_dpwefx.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668987494/gesda-22/person/pak-nung-wong_photo__Screenshot_2022-09-09_at_11.29.15_dpwefx.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668987494/gesda-22/person/pak-nung-wong_photo__Screenshot_2022-09-09_at_11.29.15_dpwefx.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b1ed","name":"Pak Nung Wong","slug":"pak-nung-wong","path":"/people/pak-nung-wong","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad1d","name":"University of Bath","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Senior Lecturer","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Pascal Lamy","description":{"plain":"Pascal Lamy is currently President of the Paris Peace Forum representing the Mo Ibrahim Foundation in the Executive Committee.

He is also very much involved in the production of MOOCs in Global Health at the Faculty of Medicine and directs now in collaboration with Institut Pasteur his third project on Global Health and the Human-Animal-Ecosystem Interface.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668987547/gesda-22/person/rafael-luis-ruiz-de-castaneda_photo__Rafael_Ruiz_de_CastaC3B1eda_fozgrw.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668987547/gesda-22/person/rafael-luis-ruiz-de-castaneda_photo__Rafael_Ruiz_de_CastaC3B1eda_fozgrw.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668987547/gesda-22/person/rafael-luis-ruiz-de-castaneda_photo__Rafael_Ruiz_de_CastaC3B1eda_fozgrw.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668987547/gesda-22/person/rafael-luis-ruiz-de-castaneda_photo__Rafael_Ruiz_de_CastaC3B1eda_fozgrw.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668987547/gesda-22/person/rafael-luis-ruiz-de-castaneda_photo__Rafael_Ruiz_de_CastaC3B1eda_fozgrw.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b20c","name":"Rafael Luis Ruiz De Castaneda ","slug":"rafael-luis-ruiz-de-castaneda","path":"/people/rafael-luis-ruiz-de-castaneda","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad30","name":"University of Geneva","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7b8","name":"Pathogen Biology","slug":"pathogen-biology","path":"/topics/pathogen-biology","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86a","name":"Eco-Regeneration & Geoengineering","slug":"eco-regeneration-geoengineering","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Researcher and Lecturer","topicExpertise":[{"id":"65c55d5b9e947c438698b846","topic":{"color":{"value":"#0AA288"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Raffaela Kunz","description":null,"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1696891780/gesda-23/person/raffaela-kunz_photo__affaela_Kunz_c4ndmy.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1696891780/gesda-23/person/raffaela-kunz_photo__affaela_Kunz_c4ndmy.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1696891780/gesda-23/person/raffaela-kunz_photo__affaela_Kunz_c4ndmy.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1696891780/gesda-23/person/raffaela-kunz_photo__affaela_Kunz_c4ndmy.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1696891780/gesda-23/person/raffaela-kunz_photo__affaela_Kunz_c4ndmy.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b20d","name":"Raffaela Kunz","slug":"raffaela-kunz","path":"/people/raffaela-kunz","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698aca9","name":"Max Planck Inst. for Comparative Public Law and International Law","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Lecturer","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":{"value":"#F5A83B"},"openGraph":{"title":"Raluca Csernatoni","description":{"plain":"Dr. Raluca Csernatoni is fellow at Carnegie Europe, where she specializes on European security and defense, as well as emerging disruptive technologies.

temperature. His work has two broad themes:\n\nEvaluating the climate response to solar geoengineering. Using state of the art Earth system models, he analyses the climate response to stratospheric aerosol geoengineering and other solar geoengineering proposals. He is particularly interested in finding ways to understand and effectively visualize this climate response. \nConsidering the broader implications of solar geoengineering. Collaborating with colleagues from a range of disciplines, he seeks to draw out the implications of the scientific findings on solar geoengineering for the broader questions that this proposal raises.\n\nSolar geoengineering describes a set of proposals to modify the Earth's radiation budget which may offer a means of reducing the impacts of climate change. Through his research, he seeks to understand the potential risks and benefits of solar geoengineering and to explore its broader implications.\nIn his interdisciplinary work he seeks to connect the scientific findings on solar geoengineering to the broader questions that this proposal to control the climate raises. He works with ethicists, economists and lawyers to better understand the potential harms and benefits of solar geoengineering and how they could be addressed through compensation. He also works to understand the implications that the technical requirements of solar geoengineering would have on its governance.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668987519/gesda-22/person/peter-irvine_photo__peter-irvine2020_dfeupj.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668987519/gesda-22/person/peter-irvine_photo__peter-irvine2020_dfeupj.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668987519/gesda-22/person/peter-irvine_photo__peter-irvine2020_dfeupj.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668987519/gesda-22/person/peter-irvine_photo__peter-irvine2020_dfeupj.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668987519/gesda-22/person/peter-irvine_photo__peter-irvine2020_dfeupj.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b1fa","name":"Peter Irvine","slug":"peter-irvine","path":"/people/peter-irvine","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad17","name":"University College London","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7bd","name":"Solar Radiation Modification","slug":"solar-radiation-modification","path":"/topics/solar-radiation-modification","__typename":"Topic","trend":null}],"country":{"id":"65c55cca9e947c438698a456","name":"United Kingdom","slug":"united-kingdom","__typename":"Economy","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"openGraph":{"title":"United Kingdom","image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668983595/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-kingdom_thumbnail__United%20Kingdom_jurica-koletic-MLLBlDL5bDw-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg","thumbnails":{"bubble":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_64/v1668983595/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-kingdom_thumbnail__United%20Kingdom_jurica-koletic-MLLBlDL5bDw-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668983595/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-kingdom_thumbnail__United%20Kingdom_jurica-koletic-MLLBlDL5bDw-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg"}}}},"_schema":{"label":"Country","pluralLabel":"Countries"}},"linkedin":null,"position":"Lecturer","topicExpertise":[{"id":"65c55d5b9e947c438698b83f","topic":{"color":null}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2022","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Peter Schlosser","description":{"plain":"Peter Schlosser is the Vice President and Vice Provost of the Global Futures Laboratory, the Director of the Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation and University Global Futures Professor at Arizona State University.

From 2002-2010, Philipp worked in the laboratory of Theodor W. Hänsch at LMU Munich and the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics, first as a doctoral student in Jakob Reichel's team and later as leader of his own group. During this time, he performed experiments with ultracold atoms in chip-based microtraps (\"atom chips\"). He demonstrated a chip-based atomic clock and an atom interferometer, carried out first experiments on quantum metrology with entangled atoms, and explored interfaces of atoms and mechanical oscillators. In 2010, Philipp was appointed as a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Basel, where he set up a group working on ultracold atoms, optomechanics, and hybrid quantum systems.

I make extensive use of field experiments and observations to explore such fundamental issues as consumer - resource interactions (e.g., predator-prey, exploitation competition, apparent competition), population dynamics and regulation, and bio-diversity and coexistence of competitors. My work on resilience focuses on dynamically-important feedbacks and how they are affected by natural and anthropomorphic factors. All of my work has been conducted in subtidal reef environments of temperate and tropical marine ecosystems using both benthic invertebrates and reef fishes as model systems. Because many marine organisms have dispersing life stages (and therefore can have local populations that are demographically open), reef systems provide the opportunity to explore issues related to connectivity, scale dependency and to the causes and consequences of variation in the contributions of different processes to abundance, dynamics and regulation.

On May 1, 2021, he took over as Director of the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP).\nAs Secretary General, he acted as an effective crisis manager supporting successive Chairmanships in an increasingly polarized environment. In the final months of his term, he dealt with the COVID-19 crisis, working to protect the health and safety of staff while ensuring that the OSCE continued to carry out its critical mandates and maintained business continuity.\nDespite the highly polarized political climate, Ambassador Greminger promoted dialogue among the 57 OSCE participating States as one of his key priorities. He sparked informal discussions on emerging challenges and opportunities such as the importance of technology to all dimensions of security or the link between climate change and security.\nHe supported the OSCE in maintaining field presences to support participating States in implementing OSCE commitments, and preventing or managing conflicts – notably the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine. He engaged in diplomatic efforts and supported those of various mediators addressing emerging and protracted conflicts in the OSCE area.\nAmbassador Greminger promoted effective multilateralism by strengthening ties with the OSCE’s partners among international and regional organizations. He highlighted the OSCE’s contribution in helping participating States to implement the Sustainable Development Goals.\nIn his capacity as OSCE Chief Administrative Officer, Ambassador Greminger introduced a “fit for purpose” agenda focused on adapting the OSCE to changing realities and new opportunities against a background of limited and declining resources. This included a management review of the OSCE Secretariat that resulted in procedural and structural improvements, including by making the best use of technology. He also introduced an OSCE gender parity strategy and openly addressed sexual harassment and other challenges to creating a healthy and inclusive professional working environment. In view of his engagement, he was invited to join the International Gender Champions’ network.\nPreviously, Ambassador Greminger served as Deputy Director General of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation at the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. As Head of South Cooperation, he oversaw cooperation with 21 partner countries and regions, entailing an annual budget of USD 730 million and 900 staff in Bern and abroad. In this function, he regularly represented Switzerland at international conferences as State Secretary.\nFrom 2010 to 2015, Ambassador Greminger served as the Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the OSCE, the United Nations and the International Organizations in Vienna. He was instrumental in devising the consecutive chairmanships and joint work plan of Switzerland (2014) and Serbia (2015). During the Swiss Chairmanship, he chaired the OSCE Permanent Council and played an active role in addressing the crisis in and around Ukraine that rapidly unfolded during the course of 2014. For the first time in years, the OSCE managed to achieve consensus on new OSCE operations – the most important being the Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine.\nAmbassador Greminger was responsible for preparing the successful 2014 OSCE Ministerial Council in Basel, which yielded 21 consensus decisions and declarations. He chaired the OSCE Human Dimension Committee in 2011 and 2012.

As a member of the OSCE Troika, he chaired the OSCE Mediterranean Contact Group (2013) and the OSCE Asian Contact Group (2015).\nThrough his comprehensive expertise in security policy, Ambassador Greminger marked a number of important achievements in the OSCE: he contributed significantly to Ministerial Council Decision 3/11 on the conflict cycle, and the subsequent development of mediation and facilitation capacities in the OSCE Conflict Prevention Center.\nDuring his term as Permanent Representative, Switzerland became the coordinator for the Vienna Document and introduced a number of modernization proposals. By strongly promoting partnership with the Geneva Centre for Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF), he helped the OSCE Secretariat and field missions to build capacities in security sector governance and reform.\nFrom 2004 to 2010, he served as Head of the Human Security Division of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. The Division is the Department’s main competence center for peace, human rights and humanitarian and migration policy, with an annual budget of around USD 70 million and 100 staff in Bern and abroad. During his tenure, the division offered and supported facilitation and mediation services to more than half a dozen peace processes worldwide (including in the Middle East, Colombia, Nepal, Burundi, Uganda and Sudan) and launched a number of important diplomatic initiatives, including those which led to the creation of the UN Human Rights Council, the UN International Tracing Instrument for SALW, and the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence and Development.\nAmbassador Greminger also served as Deputy Head of the Human Security Division from 2002 to 2004, and from 1999 to 2001 as Country Director at the Swiss Embassy in Maputo, Mozambique, where he managed Switzerland’s largest development cooperation programme with an annual budget of around USD 30 million and staff.\nFrom 1994 to 1998, he served in different posts in the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, including Head of the Policy and Research Unit.\nAmbassador Greminger holds a PhD in history from the University of Zurich. He is Lieutenant Colonel GS (company and battalion commander of infantry unit of the Swiss Armed Forces; G6 and Deputy Chief of Staff of Infantry Brigade). He has authored numerous publications on military history, conflict management, peacekeeping, development and human rights. His mother tongue is German; he is fluent in English and French and has a good working knowledge of Portuguese. Ambassador Greminger was born in 1961 and has four daughters.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1678957446/gesda-22/person/thomas-greminger_photo__2021_05_03_T.Greminger_V59_e9om61.jpg.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1678957446/gesda-22/person/thomas-greminger_photo__2021_05_03_T.Greminger_V59_e9om61.jpg.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1678957446/gesda-22/person/thomas-greminger_photo__2021_05_03_T.Greminger_V59_e9om61.jpg.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1678957446/gesda-22/person/thomas-greminger_photo__2021_05_03_T.Greminger_V59_e9om61.jpg.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1678957446/gesda-22/person/thomas-greminger_photo__2021_05_03_T.Greminger_V59_e9om61.jpg.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b267","name":"Thomas Greminger","slug":"thomas-greminger","path":"/people/thomas-greminger","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ac5c","name":"Geneva Center for Security Policy","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Director","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2024","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Timothy Cadman","description":{"plain":"Timothy Cadman is currently a Research Fellow with the Law Futures Centre and the Institute for Ethics, Governance and Law at Griffith University, Queensland, Australia.\nHe has been an academic researcher and teacher since 1996. \n In 2011 he published Quality and Legitimacy of Global Governance: Case Lessons from Forestry, with Palgrave Macmillan\nHis latest book on climate governance is Governing the Climate Change Regime Institutional Integrity and Integrity Systems.\nThrough his work as a practitioner, he has been closely engaged in environmental and sustainable trade-related activities around the Pacific Rim countries and beyond since 1992 and has travelled widely within the region.

He was born in London UK in 1954, where he grew up. He graduated from Cambridge University, UK, with a degree in Botany (1976), and a PhD jointly between Cambridge Genetics Department and the Plant Breeding Institute in Trumpington (1980). After postdoctoral work with Fred Ausubel at Harvard on symbiotic nitrogen fixation (1981-2), he worked at start-up agbiotech company AGS in Oakland, CA, working closely with Hugo Dooner to study the behaviour of maize transposons in tobacco. Since 1988, JJ has worked at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Norwich UK, serving as Head of Laboratory 1994-7 and 2003-2009. He was elected member of EMBO in 1998, Fellow of Royal Society in 2003, and is International Member of US NAS. In 2012 he was awarded the U Minnesota Stakman prize. He is a Professor at the University of East Anglia. He has served as advisor to the Danforth Centre in St Louis, and is an advisor to the 2Blades Foundation.\nIn the early 90s, the Jones group used genetics to discover the first transmembrane cell surface receptors involved in immunity in plants, and discovered that the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain of such receptors is involved in pathogen recognition. He was first to propose the guard hypothesis for indirect recognition of pathogen molecules by plant immune receptors.\nJones uses the GM method to develop potato lines that are completely resistant to late blight, potato viruses and bacterial wilt, and co-founded www.norfolkplantsciences.com in 2007 to bring flavonoid-enriched tomatoes to market; these GM purple tomatoes have received USDA and FDA approval and are being commercialized in the US by https://www.norfolkhealthyproduce.com/.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1708349402/gesda-23/person/jonathan-jones_photo__Jone_lj0tt6.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1708349402/gesda-23/person/jonathan-jones_photo__Jone_lj0tt6.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1708349402/gesda-23/person/jonathan-jones_photo__Jone_lj0tt6.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1708349402/gesda-23/person/jonathan-jones_photo__Jone_lj0tt6.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1708349402/gesda-23/person/jonathan-jones_photo__Jone_lj0tt6.jpg"}}}},"id":"65d358410f995d9af8021d73","name":"Jonathan Jones","slug":"jonathan-jones","path":"/people/jonathan-jones","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65d358320f995d9af8021d5f","name":"University of East Anglia","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86a","name":"Eco-Regeneration & Geoengineering","slug":"eco-regeneration-geoengineering","path":"/trends/eco-regeneration-geoengineering","__typename":"Trend"}],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7b3","name":"Future Food Systems","slug":"future-food-systems","path":"/topics/future-food-systems","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86a","name":"Eco-Regeneration & Geoengineering","slug":"eco-regeneration-geoengineering","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Professor of Biology","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66f3e8c5a8246985f9a67e5c","topic":{"color":{"value":"#0AA288"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2025","color":{"value":"#0AA288"},"openGraph":{"title":"Rajeev Ram","description":{"plain":"Rajeev Ram has been on the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science faculty at MIT since 1997 where he holds the Clarence J.

The primary focus of the group is on chemical signaling and specifically on the role of olfactory information in interactions among plants and other organisms. Within this framework, the group explores a broad range of topics, including multi-trophic plant-insect interactions and disease transmission by insect vectors. The overarching goal of this work is to address novel and important questions in basic ecology that also have applied relevance for sustainable agriculture, ecological conservation and human health.\nTeaching in the group includes a number of courses relating to insect biology, plant-insect interactions, and the role of communication in mediating interspecific ecological interactions, which are targeted primarily to students in Environmental Systems Science (D-USYS), Biology (D-BIOL), and other life-science disciplines. These courses are designed to provide students with a clear understanding of core concepts, as well as familiarity with important open questions in basic and applied science and the research techniques and methods that can be brought to bear on such questions.\nThe De Moraes group also oversees the ETH Zurich Entomological Museum, which hosts one of the most important insect collections in central Europe with over two million specimens. In addition to serving as an important resource for researchers and educators, the museum has taken an active role in public outreach and education, including via frequent guided tours of the museum’s holdings by school groups and the general public, as well as more focused educational exhibits. The museum also serves as an important educational resource for ETH students by hosting specialized seminars and workshops on relevant topics. A major focus of the collection’s current work is to digitize its holdings in order to create online resources for both research and education.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1709201003/gesda-23/person/consuelo-de-moraes_photo__profile.person_image_2_arbppg.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1709201003/gesda-23/person/consuelo-de-moraes_photo__profile.person_image_2_arbppg.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1709201003/gesda-23/person/consuelo-de-moraes_photo__profile.person_image_2_arbppg.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1709201003/gesda-23/person/consuelo-de-moraes_photo__profile.person_image_2_arbppg.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1709201003/gesda-23/person/consuelo-de-moraes_photo__profile.person_image_2_arbppg.jpg"}}}},"id":"65e056cb4c181dbca04ddaaa","name":"Consuelo De Moraes","slug":"consuelo-de-moraes","path":"/people/consuelo-de-moraes","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ac41","name":"ETHZ","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86a","name":"Eco-Regeneration & Geoengineering","slug":"eco-regeneration-geoengineering","path":"/trends/eco-regeneration-geoengineering","__typename":"Trend"}],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Full Professor","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":{"value":"#0AA288"},"openGraph":{"title":"Chantal Yue Shen","description":{"plain":"Chantal Yue Shen is currently the director of Genome Synthesis and Editing Platform of China National Genebank.

Professor) at Imperial Chemical Engineering. He leads the Bioinspired Engineering Group which consists of 20 PDRAs and PhD students. Yuval is an expert in synthetic biology, bio-membrane engineering, opto- / microfluidics, and molecular bioengineering.\nSince completing his PhD in 2015 Yuval has secured > £3.6M as PI to conduct both blue-skies and applied research and has set up multiple collaborations with clinicians and industry (including AstraZeneca, Syngenta and GSK Vaccines). He has won multiple prizes and medals, including the Roscoe Medal, Rita and John Cornforth Medal, IC President’s Medal, and the RSC Felix Franks Medal for Biotechnology.\nYuval’s research is focussed on answering the following question: Can we construct artificial cells – entities that mimic the architectures, processes, and behaviours of biological cells - from scratch?\nOur ambition is to usher in a new era of biodesign, where synthetic cells can be engineered from the bottom up for bespoke applications: designer micromachines that can be used to deliver drugs, manufacture chemicals, generate their own energy, produce novel materials, and act as environmental sensors. It will allow us to not only mimic biology, but to surpass it: incorporating wholly synthetic building blocks, of the sort that biology cannot access, will give engineered lifeforms new capabilities. By blurring the boundaries between living and non-living matter, Yuval’s group use artificial cells (i) as models to shed light on universal biological phenomena in simplified and highly controlled settings and (ii) as micromachines that perform biotechnologically useful functions in a suite of industrial and clinical applications.\nPrior to joining Imperial, Yuval was at Cambridge University where he studied Natural Sciences.  Yuval was recently honoured by the World Economic Forum, who selected him to be part of their Young Scientist Community (50 under 40 worldwide), and he sits on the EPSRC Early Career Forum for Engineering.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668987735/gesda-22/person/yuval-elani_photo__Yuval-Elani-Picture--tojpeg_1525900474402_x1_jwctsj.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1668987735/gesda-22/person/yuval-elani_photo__Yuval-Elani-Picture--tojpeg_1525900474402_x1_jwctsj.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1668987735/gesda-22/person/yuval-elani_photo__Yuval-Elani-Picture--tojpeg_1525900474402_x1_jwctsj.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668987735/gesda-22/person/yuval-elani_photo__Yuval-Elani-Picture--tojpeg_1525900474402_x1_jwctsj.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1668987735/gesda-22/person/yuval-elani_photo__Yuval-Elani-Picture--tojpeg_1525900474402_x1_jwctsj.jpg"}}}},"id":"65c55d249e947c438698b28a","name":"Yuval Elani","slug":"yuval-elani","path":"/people/yuval-elani","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ac7e","name":"Imperial College London","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7c0","name":"Synthetic Biology","slug":"synthetic-biology-1","path":"/topics/synthetic-biology","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86c","name":"Knowledge Foundations","slug":"knowledge-foundations","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Assistant Professor","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66de66f91f3c188989db7b06","topic":{"color":{"value":"#292929"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Yves Flückiger","description":{"plain":"Yves Flückiger was born on 2 December 1955 and holds a degree in Economics and Sociology as well as a doctorate in Political Economy from the University of Geneva.

Crowther’s research focuses on understanding the fundamental forces that shape ecological communities within and across ecosystems. He is particularly interested in the ecological feedbacks that determine the distribution of biodiversity on Earth, as well as the impacts of that biodiversity on the global carbon cycle. Crowther takes a holistic approach to studying ecosystems, including the networks of plants and soil organisms (like fungi, bacteria and nematodes) that interactively govern the exchanges of carbon between the land and atmosphere. This work is highly interdisciplinary, including theoretical, experimental and observational approaches to understand the mechanisms driving ecological processes across different scales.\nAfter completing his PhD at Cardiff University, Crowther received a postdoctoral fellowship from the Yale Climate and Energy Institute. In 2015 he was awarded a Marie Curie fellowship at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO) at Wageningen University to research the impact of carbon cycle feedbacks to climate change. His ongoing research highlights the potential for nature-​based solutions and the protection of nature to help in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate change. Crowther has been named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum for his work on the protection and restoration of biodiversity and serves on the advisory council of WEF’s Trillion Trees initiative (1T.org). \nIn 2021, Crowther founded Restor, an online platform that provides ecological insights, transparency and connectivity to thousands of local conservation and restoration efforts across the globe.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1709200617/gesda-23/person/tom-crowther_photo__profile.person_image_1_lx7py7.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1709200617/gesda-23/person/tom-crowther_photo__profile.person_image_1_lx7py7.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1709200617/gesda-23/person/tom-crowther_photo__profile.person_image_1_lx7py7.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1709200617/gesda-23/person/tom-crowther_photo__profile.person_image_1_lx7py7.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1709200617/gesda-23/person/tom-crowther_photo__profile.person_image_1_lx7py7.jpg"}}}},"id":"65e055534c181dbca04dda84","name":"Tom Crowther","slug":"tom-crowther","path":"/people/tom-crowther","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ac41","name":"ETHZ","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Assistant Professor","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":{"value":"#0AA288"},"openGraph":{"title":"Luis Eguiarte","description":{"plain":"Eguiarte is one of Mexico's most prolific and creative students of evolution.

He conducted postdoctoral research at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at MIT. He joined the department of Molecular Genetics at the Weizmann Institute in 2011.\nProf. Hanna is pioneering techniques in induced naïve pluripotency from adult cell and synthetic whole embryo models made solely from stem cells ex utero. Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have regenerative properties almost identical to those of embryonic stem cells but can be created from adult cells without using an egg or fetal material. Prof. Hanna was the lead researcher in a study that showed how further-modified iPS cells could be used to treat sickle-cell anemia in mice, the first proof of concept of the therapeutic application of iPS cells. Prof. Hanna has uncovered novel pathways regulating the reprogramming process and was the first to derive pristine “naïve” human pluripotent cells equivalent to those derived from mice and (i) can generate “cross-species humanized chimeric” mouse models that have human derived tissues (ii) can give rise to human primordial germ cell (progenitors of egg or sperm) or (iii) to all extra-embryonic compartments (placenta and yolk-sac). He was the first to expand prolonged periods of advanced and normal mammalian embryo development from pre-gastrulation until late organogenesis in an “artificial uterus” environment outside the maternal womb. The latter platform enabled him to demonstrate the ability to be the first to generate advanced stage whole synthetic embryos made entirely from naïve pluripotent stem cells in the petri dish, that can complete gastrulation and demonstrate organ formation within adequate extra-embryonic compartments. He adapted these approaches and was able to derive the first complete human embryo model equivalent to day 14 made from human naïve stem cells. In addition to demonstrating the power of cell reprogramming and ex utero advanced embryogenesis, his work offers the promise of new research models for degenerative diseases, infertility, pregnancy failure and human early development. \nDuring his postdoctoral work, Prof. Hanna received a prestigious Novartis Fellowship from the Helen Hay Whitney Foundation. In 2010, he was awarded the Sir Charles Clore Prize for Outstanding Appointment in the Weizmann Institute. He received an EMBO young investigator award (2012), a Rappaport Prize in biomedical research (2013), a Krill Prize by the Wolf Foundation (2013), and the Helen and Martin Kimmel Award for Innovative Investigation (2014). In 2014, he was featured among “40 under 40” innovative scientists by the prestigious journal Cell and was elected as a member of EMBO in 2018. In 2021, he ranked at the top of the list of 50 leading world thinkers by Prospect magazine. \n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1726010035/gesda-platform/person/jacob-yaqub-h-hanna_photo__Jacob_Hanna_f6kqua.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1726010035/gesda-platform/person/jacob-yaqub-h-hanna_photo__Jacob_Hanna_f6kqua.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1726010035/gesda-platform/person/jacob-yaqub-h-hanna_photo__Jacob_Hanna_f6kqua.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1726010035/gesda-platform/person/jacob-yaqub-h-hanna_photo__Jacob_Hanna_f6kqua.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1726010035/gesda-platform/person/jacob-yaqub-h-hanna_photo__Jacob_Hanna_f6kqua.jpg"}}}},"id":"66b31c49dd20bd94d75d45d3","name":"Jacob Hanna","slug":"jacob-yaqub-h-hanna","path":"/people/jacob-yaqub-h-hanna","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"66b31bd4dd20bd94d75d45c2","name":"Weizmann Institute ","location":null},"location":{"__typename":"Location","id":"66b31c44dd20bd94d75d45ce","slug":"rehovot","name":"Rehovot","latitude":31.9063,"longitude":34.8106},"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Professor of Pluripotent Stem Cell Biology & Synthetic Embryology","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Thomas Biersteker","description":{"plain":"THOMAS BIERSTEKER is Gasteyger Professor Honoraire at the Geneva Graduate Institute and a Public Policy Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington.

Bodin often describes and models social, ecological, and coupled social-ecological systems as complex and intricate webs of interactions between, and among, different ecological and/or social components.\nCross-disciplinary network analytical approach allows him to apply the same set of methods and conceptualization in studying such different things as power asymmetries resulting from different patterns of social and economic relationships among small-scale fishermen to large-scale analyses of seed dispersals in human-dominated and fragmented landscapes. It thus facilitates systemic analyses of SES that bridge scientific disciplines.\nFurthermore, Bodin also applies methods and techniques, such as: formal mathematical analysis; qualitative comparative analysis (QCA); in-depth interviews; qualitative data analysis; surveys; behavioral experiments; agent-based simulation modelling; GIS and spatial explicit modelling and analysis; mathematical graph-theory; and statistical modelling.\nBodin holds an MSc in Physics and a PhD in Systems Ecology/Natural Resource Management. Prior to his academic engagement, Bodin was working in the telecommunication and IT industries for nearly a decade. Bodin has published in both natural and social science journals, and has been engaged (in addition to several theoretically oriented studies) in case studies of small-scale fisheries in east Africa, high sea fishery in the Southern Ocean, agriculture in southern Madagascar, and regional land use management in Stockholm, Sweden.\nHe is also contributing to the development of new tools and methods for improved green area spatial planning in urban areas, with a geographical focus on Stockholm County.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1723513655/gesda-platform/person/orjan-bodin_photo__BodinO%CC%88rjan_hires19_gpryx0.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1723513655/gesda-platform/person/orjan-bodin_photo__BodinO%CC%88rjan_hires19_gpryx0.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1723513655/gesda-platform/person/orjan-bodin_photo__BodinO%CC%88rjan_hires19_gpryx0.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1723513655/gesda-platform/person/orjan-bodin_photo__BodinO%CC%88rjan_hires19_gpryx0.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1723513655/gesda-platform/person/orjan-bodin_photo__BodinO%CC%88rjan_hires19_gpryx0.jpg"}}}},"id":"66b422b1dd20bd94d75d4a9e","name":"Örjan Bodin","slug":"orjan-bodin","path":"/people/orjan-bodin","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698acea","name":"Stockholm Resilience Centre","location":null},"location":{"__typename":"Location","id":"65c55cfd9e947c438698abcc","slug":"stockholm","name":"Stockholm","latitude":59.3624,"longitude":18.0708},"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7bc","name":"Science-based Diplomacy","slug":"science-based-diplomacy","path":"/topics/science-based-diplomacy","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86e","name":"Science & Diplomacy","slug":"science-and-diplomacy","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":{"id":"65c55cca9e947c438698a444","name":"Sweden","slug":"sweden","__typename":"Economy","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Sweden","image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668983477/gesda-22/banner/economy-sweden_thumbnail__Sweden_pigoff-photography-zSGFGTed0zw-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg","thumbnails":{"bubble":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_64/v1668983477/gesda-22/banner/economy-sweden_thumbnail__Sweden_pigoff-photography-zSGFGTed0zw-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668983477/gesda-22/banner/economy-sweden_thumbnail__Sweden_pigoff-photography-zSGFGTed0zw-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg"}}}},"_schema":{"label":"Country","pluralLabel":"Countries"}},"linkedin":null,"position":"Professor","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66c2cfbe9061b39ff3ff6003","topic":{"color":{"value":"#F5A83B"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2025","color":{"value":"#292929"},"openGraph":{"title":"Julius Beau Lucks","description":{"plain":"Julius B.

He completed postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and earned a PhD from the University of British Columbia (UBC). His research goal is to use the power of machines to accelerate discoveries in biology and medicine. Specifically, he pioneered the development of the first computer-designed antibiotic with efficacy in animal models, demonstrating the application of AI for antibiotic discovery and helping launch this emerging field. His lab has also been in the vanguard of developing computational methods to mine the world’s biological information, leading to the breakthrough discovery of a whole new world of antimicrobials. These efforts explored the human proteome as a source of antibiotics for the first time. De la Fuente’s group was also the first to find therapeutic molecules in extinct organisms, launching the field of molecular de-extinction. Molecular de-extinction has already yielded preclinical antibiotic candidates. Altogether, de la Fuente’s work has dramatically accelerated the time needed to discover preclinical candidates, from years to hours. Additional advances from his lab include designing algorithms for antibiotic discovery, reprogramming venoms into antimicrobials, developing autonomous nanorobots to treat infections, creating novel resistance-proof antimicrobial materials, and inventing rapid, low-cost diagnostic devices for COVID-19 and other infections. Prof. de la Fuente is an NIH MIRA investigator and has received recognition and research funding from numerous organizations. De la Fuente has received over 70 national and international awards. He is an elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), becoming one of the youngest ever to be inducted. He was recognized by MIT Technology Review as one of the world’s top innovators for “digitizing evolution to make better antibiotics.” He was selected as the inaugural recipient of the Langer Prize and as an ACS Kavli Emerging Leader in Chemistry, an ASM Distinguished Lecturer, Waksman Foundation Lecturer, and received the Miklós Bondanszky Award, AIChE’s 35 Under 35 Award, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers Young Investigator Award, and the ACS Infectious Diseases Young Investigator Award. He also received the Thermo Fisher Award, as well as the EMBS Academic Early Career Achievement Award “For the pioneering development of novel antibiotics designed using principles from computation, engineering, and biology.” Most recently, Prof. de la Fuente was awarded the prestigious Princess of Girona Prize, the ASM Award for Early Career Applied and Biotechnological Research, the Rao Makineni Lectureship Award by the American Peptide Society, and was selected as a National Academy of Medicine Emerging Leader in Health and Medicine. De la Fuente serves on the editorial boards of numerous scholarly journals and is currently an Associate Editor of Drug Resistance Updates (IF= 24.3; the premier international drug resistance journal), Nature Communications Biology, Bioactive Materials (IF = 18.9), Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, and Digital Discovery. He has been named a Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate multiple times. Prof. de la Fuente has given over 250 invited lectures, including numerous Keynote and Named Lectures, and has spoken at TEDx. He has co-authored an influential book on machine learning for drug discovery and his scientific discoveries have yielded multiple patents and over 150 publications, including papers in Science, Cell, Cell Host Microbe, Nature Biomedical Engineering, Nature Communications, PNAS, ACS Nano, Nature Chemical Biology, and Advanced Materials.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1723526506/gesda-platform/person/cesar-de-la-fuente_photo__Ce%CC%81sar_de_la_Fuente_zftrku.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1723526506/gesda-platform/person/cesar-de-la-fuente_photo__Ce%CC%81sar_de_la_Fuente_zftrku.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1723526506/gesda-platform/person/cesar-de-la-fuente_photo__Ce%CC%81sar_de_la_Fuente_zftrku.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1723526506/gesda-platform/person/cesar-de-la-fuente_photo__Ce%CC%81sar_de_la_Fuente_zftrku.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1723526506/gesda-platform/person/cesar-de-la-fuente_photo__Ce%CC%81sar_de_la_Fuente_zftrku.jpg"}}}},"id":"66b4252fdd20bd94d75d4ae0","name":"César de la Fuente","slug":"cesar-de-la-fuente","path":"/people/cesar-de-la-fuente","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad3f","name":"University of Pennsylvania","location":null},"location":{"__typename":"Location","id":"65c55cfd9e947c438698abba","slug":"philadelphia","name":"Philadelphia","latitude":40,"longitude":-75.2},"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7b5","name":"Future Therapeutics","slug":"future-therapeutics","path":"/topics/advanced-therapeutics","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86b","name":"Human Augmentation","slug":"human-augmentation","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":{"id":"65c55cca9e947c438698a457","name":"United States of America","slug":"united-states-of-america","__typename":"Economy","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"openGraph":{"title":"United States of America","image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668981939/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-states-of-america_thumbnail__US_St_Louis_Arch_ynkdxg.jpg","thumbnails":{"bubble":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_64/v1668981939/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-states-of-america_thumbnail__US_St_Louis_Arch_ynkdxg.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668981939/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-states-of-america_thumbnail__US_St_Louis_Arch_ynkdxg.jpg"}}}},"_schema":{"label":"Country","pluralLabel":"Countries"}},"linkedin":null,"position":"Presidential Assistant Professor","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66c2d0b29061b39ff3ff6083","topic":{"color":{"value":"#078694"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2025","color":{"value":"#078694"},"openGraph":{"title":"Sahba Besharati","description":{"plain":"Dr Sahba Besharati is a neuropsychologist and senior lecturer in cognitive neuroscience at the Department of Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits).

After receiving my doctorate in philosophy from the University of Vienna in 2002 I worked and lived in Australia (University of Technology Sydney), Denmark (Copenhagen Business School), France (EM Lyon) and Edinburgh (University of Edinburgh).\nWith a background in the Humanities and an eclectic bookshelf behind me, my work explores how we organize and strategize collaboration and how alternative forms of collective action evolve. Theoretically this is relevant because my work develops a critical vocabulary to understand new forms of collective action. Practically it is significant because it provides tools to think and organize collective action differently. The aim of my work is to stretch the organizational imagination of practitioners and scholars. Or to paraphrase one of my favourite writers, Albert O. Hirschman, I am less interested in what is probable, and more concerned about what is possible.\nMy work has been published in across a range of disciplines including management and organization theory (Academy of Management Discoveries, Human Relations, Organization Studies); strategy (Strategic Organization, Long Range Planning); accounting (Accounting, Organization and Society); ethics (Journal of Business Ethics); security studies (Journal for Security Studies); urbanism (Urban Studies); sociology (Theory, Culture and Society; Sociological Review) and philosophy (Nietzsche Studien).\nI also write textbooks (Managing and Organizations and Strategic Management, both with Sage) and monographs, including Brand Society (Cambridge University Press, 2011), Plan B (Murmann, 2015), and most recently, Strategies for Distributed and Collective Action: Connecting the Dots (Oxford University Press, 2022). Last but not least, I curate conversation around emerging themes through co-edited volumes on Business Ethics as Practice (Elgar, 2007); Urban Commons (Routledge, 2015); Making Things Valuable (Oxford University Press, 2015); Thinking Infrastructures (Research in the Sociology of Organization / Emerald, 2020) and a Special Issue on Collective Action in Crisis (in Organization Studies, 2022).\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1724025821/gesda-platform/person/martin-kornberger_photo__Martin_Kornberger_lwi7md.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1724025821/gesda-platform/person/martin-kornberger_photo__Martin_Kornberger_lwi7md.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1724025821/gesda-platform/person/martin-kornberger_photo__Martin_Kornberger_lwi7md.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1724025821/gesda-platform/person/martin-kornberger_photo__Martin_Kornberger_lwi7md.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1724025821/gesda-platform/person/martin-kornberger_photo__Martin_Kornberger_lwi7md.jpg"}}}},"id":"66c28b93ae55546b43fe2252","name":"Martin Kornberger","slug":"martin-kornberger","path":"/people/martin-kornberger","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad4f","name":"Vienna University of Business and Economics","location":null},"location":{"__typename":"Location","id":"65c55cfd9e947c438698abd3","slug":"vienna","name":"Vienna","latitude":48.2112,"longitude":16.3735},"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"66a88ee7c82b8a091cd8636f","name":"Collective Intelligence","slug":"collective-intelligence","path":"/topics/collective-intelligence","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86d","name":"Quantum Revolution & Advanced AI","slug":"quantum-revolution-and-advanced-ai","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":{"id":"65c55cca9e947c438698a3a3","name":"Austria","slug":"austria","__typename":"Economy","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Austria","image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668981992/gesda-22/banner/economy-austria_thumbnail__Austria_matthias-betz-AAn43fshlLI-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg","thumbnails":{"bubble":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_64/v1668981992/gesda-22/banner/economy-austria_thumbnail__Austria_matthias-betz-AAn43fshlLI-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668981992/gesda-22/banner/economy-austria_thumbnail__Austria_matthias-betz-AAn43fshlLI-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg"}}}},"_schema":{"label":"Country","pluralLabel":"Countries"}},"linkedin":null,"position":"Professor","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66c28b8aae55546b43fe224b","topic":{"color":{"value":"#693973"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Mattias Kaiser","description":{"plain":"Matthias Kaiser is Professor Emeritus at the Center for the Study of the Sciences and Humanities (SVT) at the University of Bergen, and Prof. II (10%) at the NTNU in Trondheim, having studied mathematics and philosophy (of science) at the universities of Munich, Oslo, Stanford and Frankfurt.

Previously, he was the founder and director of the MIT Center for Coordination Science and one of the two founding co-directors of the MIT Initiative on \"Inventing the Organizations of the 21st Century.\"\nOver many years, Malone’s research has consistently anticipated major business and technology trends by decades.  For instance, he first wrote about video games and the concept that is now called “gamification” in 1980.  In a 1987 article, he predicted many of the major developments in electronic buying and selling over the following 25 years.  In a 1997 article, he coined the term “e-lance economy” which anticipated the term “gig economy” by two decades.  In 2004, he published his critically acclaimed book, The Future of Work, long before that phrase became common.  And in 2018, he published his newest book Superminds, which if history is a guide, will have again anticipated major developments in how people and computers work together in the future.\nProfessor Malone is the Founding Editor of the journal Collective Intelligence and the Founding Chair of the Steering Committee for the ACM Collective Intelligence conference series. He has also published over 100 articles, research papers, and book chapters; he is an inventor with 12 patents; and he is a co-editor of four books. He has been a cofounder of three software companies and consulted and served as a board member for a number of other organizations.

The nine planetary boundaries presented in the framework are argued to be fundamental in maintaining a “safe operating space for humanity.” This framework has been embraced as an approach to sustainable development, and has been used to help guide governments, international organizations, NGOs, and companies considering sustainable development.\nBefore focusing on the planetary scale, Rockström’s research aimed to address building resilience in water scarce regions, and is an expert on water resources. After completing a PhD at Stockholm University’s Systems Ecology Department in 1997, he spent nearly two decades working on applied water research in tropical regions. He has also published research on with agriculture systems, land use, and ecosystem services.\nAside from his research helping to guide policy, Rockström acts as an advisor to several governments and business networks. He also acts as an advisor for sustainable development issues at noteworthy international meetings, such as the United Nations General Assemblies, World Economic Forums, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conferences (UNFCCC, also known as COP).\nHe is chair of the steering committee for CGIAR’s Research Program on Water, Land, and Ecosystems; a member of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN); as well as a member of several other committees and boards.\nRockström acts as chair of the advisory board for the EAT Foundation, a network that integrates knowledge on food, health, and sustainability to work towards providing environmental limits for healthy diets of the growing global population.

Genes are created and shaped by the flow of biological evolution, and so the formation of these sequences is a more complex process than the formation of other natural resources such as fossils or minerals.\nTo fully understand the unprecedented value of the ocean as a library of genetic memories of the whole biosphere, we need to devise a new approach. The value has to be seen in the context of the marine biotechnology sector (users) and socio-economic communities (providers) cooperation, and the resulting importance of fair access and sustainability governance. Zhivkoplias' research aims to understand the significance of genetic sequences that originate from the ocean and move towards solutions of how to constitute equitable and fair access to such information.\nZhivkoplias holds a Master of Science degree in Bioinformatics from Uppsala University and a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from St. Petersburg State University.

This forms the core of the marine biodiscovery pipeline, and Marcel has frequent contact with people operating at all stages of this pipeline. Marcel has been active at national and international levels to develop the science, its applications/industrial uptake and associated policy involved in marine biodiscovery and biotechnology.\nMarcel founded the interdisciplinary Marine Biodiscovery Centre at the University of Aberdeen in 2010, focusing on marine resources for novel pharmaceuticals, and to investigate fundamental questions in chemical ecology and biosynthesis. The Centre contains facilities for chemistry, chromatography, spectroscopy, molecular genetics and microbiology.\nMarcel has advised, or consulted for a number of SMEs in the area of marine biodiscovery and drug discovery/development. He was visiting professor at the University of Tromsø 2007-2016, and acting as scientific advisor to MabCent.\nFrom 2012-2017 Marcel provided scientific leadership for the PharmaSea EU FP7 consortium (EUR 9.5 M, 24 partners from 14 countries) which aimed to make the use of marine microbial derived compounds a more attractive proposition to the pharmaceutical industry. At the end of the project a range of tools were developed to speed up the marine biodiscovery process as well carrying out preliminary animal trials for 5 different marine derived products for Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.\nAs part of this consortium, Marcel assisted in developing the necessary policy to ensure that marine genetic resources from areas beyond national jurisdiction can be accessed with legal certainty.\nMarcel co-authored an ESF-MB report: “Marine Biotechnology: A New Vision and Strategy for Europe” (2010). He also co-authored the Royal Society Report ‘Future Ocean Resources – Metal Rich Minerals and Genetics’.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1727351722/gesda-platform/person/marcel-jaspars_photo__Jaspars_Picture_2006_a-2_ki050a.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1727351722/gesda-platform/person/marcel-jaspars_photo__Jaspars_Picture_2006_a-2_ki050a.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1727351722/gesda-platform/person/marcel-jaspars_photo__Jaspars_Picture_2006_a-2_ki050a.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1727351722/gesda-platform/person/marcel-jaspars_photo__Jaspars_Picture_2006_a-2_ki050a.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1727351722/gesda-platform/person/marcel-jaspars_photo__Jaspars_Picture_2006_a-2_ki050a.jpg"}}}},"id":"66f54be348837661683c58d1","name":"Marcel Jaspars","slug":"marcel-jaspars","path":"/people/marcel-jaspars","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"66f54b6348837661683c58b3","name":"University of Aberdeen","location":null},"location":{"__typename":"Location","id":"66f54b9f48837661683c58cc","slug":"aberdeen","name":"Aberdeen","latitude":57.149651,"longitude":-2.099075},"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7b9","name":"Ocean Science","slug":"ocean-science","path":"/topics/ocean-science","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86a","name":"Eco-Regeneration & Geoengineering","slug":"eco-regeneration-geoengineering","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Chair Professor in Chemistry","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66f54b8448837661683c58c4","topic":{"color":{"value":"#0AA288"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2025","color":{"value":"#0AA288"},"openGraph":{"title":"Andrew Sweetman","description":{"plain":"Andrew K.

Rafael’s research has focused on the ground-up construction of original datasets in areas of international politics where open data are still lacking. This was first pursued with regards to the diplomatic networks of emerging countries and is now applied to the United Nations, with outputs of this agenda featured in Third World Quarterly, International Studies Review, and International Studies Quarterly. He will be a Visiting Scholar at the Saltzman Institute for War and Peace Studies in Columbia University from December 2023 to April 2024 under the supervision of prof. Michael Doyle. While at the Institute, Rafael will work on a book manuscript providing the first data-driven account of the evolution of the UN and of the core themes of international politics by applying network analysis and NLP methods to the corpus of all UN resolutions from 1946 to present day. Rafael has also provided consultancy to the UN in the context of the “Data Diplomacy Project“, which seeks to harness the potential of data science to level the playing field and equip governments more equitably to operate in multilateral organizations. He obtained his PhD in Political Science from UFPE in 2018/9, with visits to the University of Oxford and to the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA).

She uses a wide range of tools—standard laboratory experiments, implicit and explicit behavioral measures, fMRI and psychophysiology—to examine failures of empathy, dehumanization, and misunderstanding between groups. She is equally interested in the behavioral consequences of these processes: discrimination, conflict, and harm.

I focus on civil wars, terrorism, nationalism, ethnic conflict, and transitional justice after armed conflict. You can check my Google Scholar Profile here.\nI obtained my Ph.D. from Yale University in 2010. I have been an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Duke University (2012-2017), a Niehaus Visiting Associate Research Scholar at the School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University (2015-16), and Chair of Excellence at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (2017).\nMy first book, Rivalry and Revenge: the Politics of Violence during Civil War, was published in 2017 by Cambridge University Press (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics). The book, which can be purchased at Cambridge University Press or Bookshop (among other sites), was a runner-up for the Conflict Research Society Book of the Year Award (2018).  The Catalan press ICIP/Edicions Bellaterra published the Spanish translation of the book in their series Colección Paz y Seguridad.\nMy research has also been published in peer-reviewed journals such as the American Political Science Review, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Journal of Politics, Annual Review of Political Science,  Comparative Political Studies, International Studies Quarterly, Journal of Peace Research, Politics & Society, Journal of Conflict Resolution, Comparative Politics, British Journal of Political Science, Nations and Nationalism, and Nationalism and Ethnic Politics, among other outlets.\nI received (with Stathis Kalyvas) the Luebbert Award for the Best Article in Comparative Politics from the American Political Science Association, APSA (2011).

He studies public opinion, political psychology, and political communication.\nHis interests lie at the intersection of political communication, public opinion, and political psychology. In the broadest sense, he is interested in the antecedents, structure, and consequences of citizens’ political attitudes. He has focused on three, often overlapping, research questions: (1) What are the roots, structure, and consequences of affective polarization? (2) What is the impact of changes to the information environment on political attitudes? (3) What are the psychological underpinning and structure of political belief systems?\nHis work appears in top field journals in Communication (Journal of Communication, Journal of Computer Mediated Communication), Political Science (American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics), Psychology (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology), as well as general interest journals (PNAS, Nature Human Behavior). \nHe takes a problem- rather than methods-based approach to social science. As such, he regularly employ traditional methods (such as surveys, lab & field experiments, and quasi-experiments) as well as more computationally intensive methods (using, e.g., geographic data, huge administrative datasets, and automated text analysis).\nHe is the Co-Director of the Polarization Research Lab, which looks at affective polarization, social trust, and political violence. He is also the Co-Director of the Center for Information Networks and Democracy, which researches the benefits and risks that information networks have for democracy.\nBefore joining the University of Pennsylvania, he was faculty at the Amsterdam School of Communication. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University.\nLelkes is a faculty affiliate at the Institute for the Study of Citizens and Politics and a fellow at the Amsterdam School of Communication Research.

His research lab is based in the Department of Bioengineering and the Center for Synthetic Biology and Innovation. \nRodrigo Ledesma-Amaro obtained his PhD at the University of Salamanca under the supervision of Prof. Jose Luis Revuelta, the head of the metabolic engineering group. The PhD thesis is about systems metabolic engineering of A. gossypii for the production of vitamins, nucleosides and lipids. It combines modeling, synthetic biology, systems biology and metabolic engineering techniques and it produced numerous research papers and industrial patents (being currently used by BASF). Before that, Rodrigo coursed an MSc in Microbial Biotechnology at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid and two undergraduate degrees (Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering) at the University of Salamanca. During his PhD, Rodrigo was a visiting researcher at Prof. Jens Nielsen's group at Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), at Prof. Jean-Marc Nicaud at INRA (France) and at Prof. Kamisaka's group at AIST (Japan).\nAfter the PhD, he moved to France thanks to an Agreenskills Marie Curie Fellowship and he performed his postdoc in the group of Jean-Marc Nicaud. Most of his postdoctoral research work was done in the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. During those years, Rodrigo engineered this organism to 1) produce different compounds (lipids, lipid-derived chemicals, carotenoids, etc), 2) to be able to use low-cost carbon sources such as lignocellulosic materials or starch and 3) to facilitate the recovery of the products by engineering lipid secretion. During the postdoc, Rodrigo has been teaching synthetic biology related subjects at SUP biotech.\nIn addition, he has experience in organizing international conferences and teaching courses, in editorial activities for several publishing groups and in supervising and evaluating students, projects and researchers. He also has worldwide collaborations in both academia and industry.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1727427425/gesda-platform/person/rodrigo-ledesma-amaro_photo__photo_v2wgsx.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1727427425/gesda-platform/person/rodrigo-ledesma-amaro_photo__photo_v2wgsx.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1727427425/gesda-platform/person/rodrigo-ledesma-amaro_photo__photo_v2wgsx.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1727427425/gesda-platform/person/rodrigo-ledesma-amaro_photo__photo_v2wgsx.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1727427425/gesda-platform/person/rodrigo-ledesma-amaro_photo__photo_v2wgsx.jpg"}}}},"id":"66f673c5054128b04456697c","name":"Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro","slug":"rodrigo-ledesma-amaro","path":"/people/rodrigo-ledesma-amaro","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ac7e","name":"Imperial College London","location":null},"location":{"__typename":"Location","id":"65c55cfd9e947c438698abaa","slug":"london","name":"London","latitude":51.4981,"longitude":-0.1745},"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7b3","name":"Future Food Systems","slug":"future-food-systems","path":"/topics/future-food-systems","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86a","name":"Eco-Regeneration & Geoengineering","slug":"eco-regeneration-geoengineering","__typename":"Trend"}},{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7c0","name":"Synthetic Biology","slug":"synthetic-biology-1","path":"/topics/synthetic-biology","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86c","name":"Knowledge Foundations","slug":"knowledge-foundations","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":{"id":"65c55cca9e947c438698a456","name":"United Kingdom","slug":"united-kingdom","__typename":"Economy","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"openGraph":{"title":"United Kingdom","image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668983595/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-kingdom_thumbnail__United%20Kingdom_jurica-koletic-MLLBlDL5bDw-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg","thumbnails":{"bubble":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_64/v1668983595/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-kingdom_thumbnail__United%20Kingdom_jurica-koletic-MLLBlDL5bDw-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668983595/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-kingdom_thumbnail__United%20Kingdom_jurica-koletic-MLLBlDL5bDw-unsplash_thumbnail.jpg"}}}},"_schema":{"label":"Country","pluralLabel":"Countries"}},"linkedin":null,"position":"Reader at the Department of Bioengineering","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66fa157a509e3a5f0784e28c","topic":{"color":{"value":"#292929"}}},{"id":"67688e73f9b8ba89fb358ae2","topic":{"color":{"value":"#0AA288"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2025","color":{"value":"#292929"},"openGraph":{"title":"Harris Wang","description":{"plain":"Dr. Wang is an Associate Professor of Systems Biology and the interim chair of the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. He is also jointly appointed in the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science.\nDr. Wang received his B.Sc. degrees in Mathematics and Physics from MIT and his Ph.D. in Biophysics and Medical Engineering Medical Physics from Harvard University. There, he invented the first automated and multiplexed genome engineering platform. Since joining Columbia in 2013, Dr. Wang's research has focused on building foundational technologies to program cells into low-cost diagnostics, personalized medicines, and living materials. He is broadly interested in the applications of synthetic biology, computational design, and multi-omics to explore the fundamental limits by which microbial and mammalian systems can be modified at a genome scale. These modifications allow for new functionalities and properties, such as pan-resistance to viruses, nutrient starvation, and radiation damage. In the area of the human microbiome, Dr. Wang has developed new methods to map the gut microbiome spatially and temporally at ultra-high resolution. He has also created automated platforms for culturing and studying microbes using a combination of robotics and machine learning. Dr. Wang introduced the concept of microbiome gene therapy, which has been applied to endow gut microbes with sensing and recording capabilities for intestinal inflammation and to eliminate problematic traits such as virulence and antimicrobial resistance. His lab has also developed self-healing and regenerative fungal-bacterial biocomposite materials that can sense and respond to different environments.\nDr. Wang is an Investigator of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund and the recipient of numerous accolades, including the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science, the Blavatnik National Awards for Young Scientists Finalist, the Schaefer Research Scholar award, and the Harold & Golden Lamport Research Award in Basic Sciences from Columbia University. His other awards include the NSF CAREER Award, Sloan Research Fellowship, NIH Director’s Early Independence Award, Forbes 30 Under 30 in Science in 2012, and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from the White House. Dr. Wang serves on the scientific advisory boards of numerous companies in the areas of CRISPR, biosecurity, microbiome, and gene therapy.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1727427618/gesda-platform/person/harris-wang_photo__HarrisWang_crop2_k4k4pn.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1727427618/gesda-platform/person/harris-wang_photo__HarrisWang_crop2_k4k4pn.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1727427618/gesda-platform/person/harris-wang_photo__HarrisWang_crop2_k4k4pn.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1727427618/gesda-platform/person/harris-wang_photo__HarrisWang_crop2_k4k4pn.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1727427618/gesda-platform/person/harris-wang_photo__HarrisWang_crop2_k4k4pn.jpg"}}}},"id":"66f674a7054128b0445669bf","name":"Harris Wang","slug":"harris-wang","path":"/people/harris-wang","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"66f67457054128b0445669a2","name":"Columbia University Irving Medical Centre ","location":null},"location":{"__typename":"Location","id":"65c55cfd9e947c438698abb4","slug":"new-york","name":"New York","latitude":40.7,"longitude":-74},"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7c0","name":"Synthetic Biology","slug":"synthetic-biology-1","path":"/topics/synthetic-biology","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86c","name":"Knowledge Foundations","slug":"knowledge-foundations","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":{"id":"65c55cca9e947c438698a457","name":"United States of America","slug":"united-states-of-america","__typename":"Economy","latitude":null,"longitude":null,"openGraph":{"title":"United States of America","image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1668981939/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-states-of-america_thumbnail__US_St_Louis_Arch_ynkdxg.jpg","thumbnails":{"bubble":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_64/v1668981939/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-states-of-america_thumbnail__US_St_Louis_Arch_ynkdxg.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1668981939/gesda-22/banner/economy-united-states-of-america_thumbnail__US_St_Louis_Arch_ynkdxg.jpg"}}}},"_schema":{"label":"Country","pluralLabel":"Countries"}},"linkedin":null,"position":"Interim Chair of the Department of Systems Biology  / Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and Cell Biology","topicExpertise":[{"id":"66f674a3054128b0445669b8","topic":{"color":{"value":"#292929"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2025","color":{"value":"#078694"},"openGraph":{"title":"James Collins","description":{"plain":"Jim Collins is the Termeer Professor of Medical Engineering & Science and Professor of Biological Engineering at MIT, as well as a Member of the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences & Technology Faculty.

Such models are useful tools that can advance our understanding of marine ecosystems and of biogeochemical cycling of carbon and other essential elements. Given the prospect of global climate change, its anticipated impact on the global economy and our quality of life, and the important role of the ocean in the climate system an improved predictive understanding is urgently needed.\nCoupled physical-biogeochemical models are increasingly powerful tools. Through the assimilation of data emerging from rapidly developing ocean observing systems and the use of paleoceanographic proxies these models offer enormous potential for predicting changes in marine environments in response to climate variability and direct human influences.\nHer research program takes advantage of recent advances in the development of ocean observing systems, ocean modeling and assimilation capabilities, and benefits from expertise at the Centre for Marine Environmental Prediction (CMEP) at Dalhousie and at the Departments of Oceanography and Mathematics and Statistics.

Her research focuses on identifying the cellular mechanisms of coral bleaching caused by rising ocean temperatures. She hopes this research will help identify molecular markers that can be used as an early warning system for coral die-off and improve conservation of marine ecosystems.\nThrough her research and interdisciplinary collaborations, Tamaki has developed a passion for science policy and public outreach. In a time where science and technology are present in every aspect of our lives and environmental problems are increasingly prevalent, she believes that it is vital for both policy makers and the public to be able to make informed decisions that lead to sustainable solutions. She hopes to contribute to this effort by facilitating the communication between scientists and non-scientists. With this in mind, Tamaki participates in the Reactive Reefs project, which aims to improve public understanding of how both natural and human pressures affect coral reefs using research results and multimedia. She has also written two articles for SAGE (Sound Advice for a Green Earth), the environmental advice column in the Stanford Magazine.\nTamaki was born in Zurich, Switzerland and later moved to Nagoya, Japan where she started a 12-year career in competitive figure skating.

His research focuses on bioeconomics, marine ecosystem valuation and the analysis of global issues such as fisheries subsidies, marine protected areas, illegal fishing, climate change, marine plastic pollution, and oil spills. Sumaila has experience working in fisheries and natural resource projects in Norway, Canada and the North Atlantic region, Namibia and the Southern African region, Ghana and the West African region and Hong Kong and the South China Sea. Dr. Sumaila received his Ph.D. (Economics) from the University of Bergen and his B.Sc. (Quantity Surveying) from the Ahmadu Bello University. Sumaila is widely published and cited. He won the 2017 Volvo Environment Prize and was named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2019. His interest in the environment started early in life when his grandfather used to say people should “walk as if the ground feels pain” – this is sophisticated environmentalism! His specific interest in ocean and fisheries was picked in Norway. Sumaila enjoys exploring novel ideas and mentoring future thinkers. He loves waking up each day thinking of how best to contribute to ensuring that we bequeath a healthy ocean to our children and grandchildren so they too can have the option to do the same.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1736341430/gesda-platform/person/rashid-sumaila_photo__Sumaila-cirlce-400x400_jkmddh.png","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1736341430/gesda-platform/person/rashid-sumaila_photo__Sumaila-cirlce-400x400_jkmddh.png","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1736341430/gesda-platform/person/rashid-sumaila_photo__Sumaila-cirlce-400x400_jkmddh.png"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1736341430/gesda-platform/person/rashid-sumaila_photo__Sumaila-cirlce-400x400_jkmddh.png","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1736341430/gesda-platform/person/rashid-sumaila_photo__Sumaila-cirlce-400x400_jkmddh.png"}}}},"id":"677e77c63198594f7aab0fce","name":"Rashid Sumaila","slug":"rashid-sumaila","path":"/people/rashid-sumaila","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad22","name":"University of British Columbia","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"68a693650ac1330579fd799f","name":"Mathematics","slug":"mathematics","path":"/topics/mathematics","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86c","name":"Knowledge Foundations","slug":"knowledge-foundations","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Interdisciplinary Ocean and Fisheries Economics, Tier 1","topicExpertise":[{"id":"68b7cbf0247fa978e7dcf154","topic":{"color":{"value":"#292929"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Terrence Tao","description":{"plain":"Terence Tao was born in Adelaide, Australia in 1975.

Acosta Rodríguez received Ph.D. in Chemistry from the National University of Córdoba (Argentina). During her PhD in the laboratory of Dr Mario Guido, she investigated the circadian control of  phospholipid metabolism using an in vitro model of peripheral clocks. She joined Dr Joseph Takahashi lab at UT Southwestern Medical Center for her postdoctoral training to understand how organisms coordinate their metabolism at specific times of the day to promote wellbeing. First, she designed automated feeders to demonstrate that by restricting calories, mice not only eat less but also shorten their feeding window. She then discovered that feeding time is critical to maximize systemic benefits of caloric restriction on lifespan, and maintenance of robust circadian gene expression as mice age. Altogether, her findings challenged the prevailing view that pro-longevity benefits of caloric restriction come from lower intake or fasting alone. Instead, enhanced benefits are achieved when feeding/fasting time is aligned with the natural active phase as dictated by circadian clocks. These findings revealed circadian clocks as potential targets for delaying the onset of age-related diseases. Dr Acosta Rodríguez joined NIA in 2024 as a Earl Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator, where she leads the Circadian Biology of Aging Unit (CBAU). She is also an NIH Distinguished Scholar since 2024.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1742477331/gesda-platform/person/victoria-acosta-rodriguez_photo__Picture1_zqlmfp.png","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1742477331/gesda-platform/person/victoria-acosta-rodriguez_photo__Picture1_zqlmfp.png","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1742477331/gesda-platform/person/victoria-acosta-rodriguez_photo__Picture1_zqlmfp.png"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1742477331/gesda-platform/person/victoria-acosta-rodriguez_photo__Picture1_zqlmfp.png","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1742477331/gesda-platform/person/victoria-acosta-rodriguez_photo__Picture1_zqlmfp.png"}}}},"id":"67dc1899746707e83ea47dd9","name":"Victoria Acosta-Rodríguez","slug":"victoria-acosta-rodriguez","path":"/people/victoria-acosta-rodriguez","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"67dc188a746707e83ea47dc7","name":"National Institute on Aging","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":" Earl Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Evelyne Bischof ","description":{"plain":"Prof. Evelyne Bischof, MD, PhD, MPH (Master of Public Health, University of Liverpool), FEFIM (Fellow of European Federation of Internal Medicine) Clinic Medical Director Sheba Longevity Department at Sheba Medical Center, Israel Department of Smart Hospital and AI at University Hospital Renji of Jiaotong University, Shanghai Academia Professor of medicine at Shanghai University of medicine and Health Sciences\nHealthy Longevity Medicine: Healthy Longevity Medicine Society, co-founder and President Longevity Science Foundation, Head of the Scientific Board ARDD conference Longevity Medicine Day at - organizer\nLongevity Education Hub: co-founder and leader of the first accredited curriculum of Longevity Medicine courses integrated at medical schools, for physicians and managing over 10 000 certified physicians in the network Specialist in internal medicine (FMH Swiss), full-time clinician at university hospital Sheba, professor of medicine (vienia docendi) at Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences and visiting professor at the University of Tel Aviv.

During my graduate work I discovered the role of naturally occurring regulatory T cells in regulation of the immune response after CNS injury. During my graduate and a short post-doctoral training, I also became interested in the role of the immune system in cognition and behavior and have never stopped working on this topic. I showed that immune deficient mice exhibit impaired cognitive function as assessed in spatial learning and memory tasks, and that this impairment is reversible upon injection of T cells from wild type mice. In 2006, we identified the role of T cells in maintenance of adult neurogenesis. These studies allowed me to develop my own scientific niche, namely studying the role of the immune system in maintenance of the healthy CNS. \nIn my lab, we are continuing to concentrate on the roles of immunity in brain function. We identified IL-4 producing T cells in the meningeal spaces as major regulators of spatial learning and memory through their cognate receptor on neurons. We demonstrated the role of T cell derived IFNγ in regulating social behavior, again through signaling on neurons via their expressed IFNGR. More recently, we have identified another interesting population of meningeal immune cells, gamma/delta T cells, producing IL-17 and affecting anxiety behavior through neuronal IL-17R. In 2015 we have reported an unexpected presence of functional meningeal lymphatic vessels in the dura mater that drain macromolecules and immune cells from the CSF to the deep cervical lymph nodes.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1742478833/gesda-platform/person/jonathan-kipnis_photo__Picture14_zwrqtv.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1742478833/gesda-platform/person/jonathan-kipnis_photo__Picture14_zwrqtv.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1742478833/gesda-platform/person/jonathan-kipnis_photo__Picture14_zwrqtv.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1742478833/gesda-platform/person/jonathan-kipnis_photo__Picture14_zwrqtv.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1742478833/gesda-platform/person/jonathan-kipnis_photo__Picture14_zwrqtv.jpg"}}}},"id":"67dc1e36746707e83ea47eec","name":"Jonathan Kipnis","slug":"jonathan-kipnis","path":"/people/jonathan-kipnis","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"67dc1e1b746707e83ea47ee5","name":"Washington University Medicine","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Director, Brain Immunology & Glia (BIG) Center","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Chi-Hang Ronald Lee","description":{"plain":"CLINICAL: Dr. Lee, a senior interventional cardiologist at NUHCS, has performed over 3,000 PCI procedures, including emergency interventions.

In particular, I have focused on the processes of bilingual socialization in areas of language contact and in contexts of migration. Parallel to this research, I have tapped into minority language policies, education and revitalization, in particular in Veneto and Sardinia, two Italian regions.

She is a world leading authority on bilingualism over the lifespan and is particularly well known for her studies of exceptionally talented (\"near-native\") adult second language speakers; for her research on the changes (\"attrition\") that take place in the native language of advanced second language speakers; for her investigation of bilingual language acquisition in early and late childhood, and of the effects of bilingualism in non-linguistic domains. She is also internationally known for her contribution to language typology, especially for her research on constrained variation at the lexicon-syntax interface, which she has investigated in many languages, and her studies of gradience in natural language. Moreover, she has given an important contribution to experimental methods in linguistics by pioneering the use of Magnitude Estimation as a technique for the elicitation of linguistic acceptability judgments. She is committed to disseminating the findings of research on bilingualism outside academia and was awarded a Beltane Fellowship for Public Engagement.

Her research objectives are to identify host response signatures predictive of infection severity or disease outcome and host pathways to target drug development or repurposing. She is particularly interested in viruses that are highly pathogenic, newly emergent or likely to emerge because of climate change, land development, or ecological disruption. Currently she is focused on SARS-CoV-2, as well as other emerging pathogens with the potential to profoundly impact global health, such as Ebola virus, MERS-CoV, influenza virus, and hemorrhagic fever viruses. She works closely with other faculty and affiliates within the GHSS on the Viral Emergence Research Initiative (the VERENA Consortium), where she leads the core virology team.\nDr. Rasmussen has employed uses in vitro systems, animal models, and clinical specimens to study the relationship between host response and pathogenesis. She previously developed a  model of Ebola virus disease in a genetically diverse panel of mice, the Collaborative Cross (CC), leveraging the diversity of CC mouse disease phenotypes to study genetic and transcriptomic factors underlying disease severity in humans. She has applied this model to developing predictive signatures of disease outcome and infection and identify novel drug targets. She is currently evaluating CC mouse models towards investigation of sex-specific host responses to viral infection, as well as to investigate disease presentation in other viruses that pose a major threat to global public health, including SARS-CoV-2. Ultimately, these host response profiles can be used for translational or biodefense applications, such as diagnosing infection, predicting disease severity, informing vaccine design, and developing or repurposing host-targeted drugs to impair virus replication or reverse pathology. \nDr. Rasmussen has published numerous original research articles in the peer-reviewed literature and serves on the editorial board of Cell Reports and mSphere. In addition to her scientific work, she believes that engagement of the public is essential to successful public health initiatives and is an active and outspoken science communicator. She has written for Forbes, Foreign Affairs, Slate, the Guardian, and Leapsmag, and appeared many times in media outlets including the New York Times, the Washington Post, National Public Radio, ABC, NBC, CNN, CBC, and BBC. She is also an advocate for equitable and inclusive science, and serves on the NIH Advisory Committee to the Director’s Working Group on Changing the Culture to End Sexual Harassment.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1748960952/gesda-platform/person/angela-rasmussen_photo__395BBD65-055B-42E6-90E7-710665F31ADE_1_105_c_neutxv.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1748960952/gesda-platform/person/angela-rasmussen_photo__395BBD65-055B-42E6-90E7-710665F31ADE_1_105_c_neutxv.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1748960952/gesda-platform/person/angela-rasmussen_photo__395BBD65-055B-42E6-90E7-710665F31ADE_1_105_c_neutxv.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1748960952/gesda-platform/person/angela-rasmussen_photo__395BBD65-055B-42E6-90E7-710665F31ADE_1_105_c_neutxv.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1748960952/gesda-platform/person/angela-rasmussen_photo__395BBD65-055B-42E6-90E7-710665F31ADE_1_105_c_neutxv.jpg"}}}},"id":"683f06f7873d39a77a2fa65d","name":"Angela Rasmussen","slug":"angela-rasmussen","path":"/people/angela-rasmussen","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"683f06e7873d39a77a2fa64d","name":"University of Saskatchewan","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7b8","name":"Pathogen Biology","slug":"pathogen-biology","path":"/topics/pathogen-biology","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86a","name":"Eco-Regeneration & Geoengineering","slug":"eco-regeneration-geoengineering","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Principal Research Scientist at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO)","topicExpertise":[{"id":"68b7bd4d247fa978e7dcee1a","topic":{"color":{"value":"#0AA288"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Brian Coombes","description":{"plain":"Brian Coombes is Professor and Chair in the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences at McMaster University. His research interests are centered on infectious diseases and public health, with a focus on gut health, antimicrobial resistance, and the roles of microbes in chronic gut disorders, including Crohn's disease. The lab has a deep interest in understanding bacterial virulence factors and their action on the host's innate immune system. A long-term vision of the Coombes laboratory is to generate fundamental knowledge into how bacterial pathogens override immunological systems. This information can be used as an entry point to drug discovery where the goal of therapy is to harness the power of innate immune systems to eradicate disease-causing microbes and overcome challenges such as antimicrobial resistance.\nWorking at the interface of microbiology and innate immunity, we study host-pathogen dynamics in cell models and pre-clinical models of various infections and chronic conditions. We are particularly interested in drug-resistant bacterial infections and chronic diseases where microbes are disease modifiers, such as inflammatory bowel disease. We also work closely with the private sector where we are actively collaborating on novel drug discovery projects.  \nDr. Coombes is the recipient of the Scientific Merit Award from the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Fisher Scientific Award for Career Achievement, and the Boehringer Ingelheim Investigator Award in Biological Sciences and was inducted into Canada’s Top 40 Under 40. In 2023, he was named a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology. Dr. Coombes has published over 220 peer-reviewed articles and conference papers and given over 80 invited talks worldwide on his research related to IBD and host-pathogen interactions.

My research combines various experimental and modelling approaches to investigate how mobile genetic elements, like plasmids and bacteriophages, spread through a bacterial population. By first learning about the interaction mechanisms between mobile genetic elements and bacterial cells, I aim to improve our ability to predict long-term population behaviour.\nThe current focus of my work lies on the intracellular interactions between phages and their bacterial host cells. Phages rely on bacterial functions to produce proteins and to replicate themselves. Particularly, most phages need to produce lysis proteins to break open bacterial cells and release new phages. I am exploring how lysis efficiency is affected by genetic and environmental factors. Understanding phage lysis of bacterial cells is not only important for predicting bacteria-phage ecology and evolution but is also crucial for using phages as therapeutics against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.\nBiography\nI come from a theoretical background in Mathematics (BSc) and Biomedical Engineering (MSc) but I felt that true understanding of any system requires a combination of mathematical analysis and experimental verification. Therefore, I did an empirically driven PhD on the evolution of gene regulation in microbes at IST Austria with Calin Guet and Jon Bollback. During my postdoc at ETH Zurich with Roland Regoes and Sebastian Bonhoeffer, I combined experimental and mathematical approaches to investigate bacterial resistance evolution and the spread of mobile genetic elements. I am currently a Wellcome Trust ECA Fellow at the University of Manchester, deepening my work on the interactions and dynamics of mobile genetic elements with their bacterial hosts.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1749012915/gesda-platform/person/claudia-igler_photo__PXL_20230404_18231445722_vthccs.webp","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1749012915/gesda-platform/person/claudia-igler_photo__PXL_20230404_18231445722_vthccs.webp","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1749012915/gesda-platform/person/claudia-igler_photo__PXL_20230404_18231445722_vthccs.webp"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1749012915/gesda-platform/person/claudia-igler_photo__PXL_20230404_18231445722_vthccs.webp","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1749012915/gesda-platform/person/claudia-igler_photo__PXL_20230404_18231445722_vthccs.webp"}}}},"id":"683fd22805d12936cba713d4","name":"Claudia Igler","slug":"claudia-igler","path":"/people/claudia-igler","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"65c55d059e947c438698ad39","name":"University of Manchester","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7b8","name":"Pathogen Biology","slug":"pathogen-biology","path":"/topics/pathogen-biology","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86a","name":"Eco-Regeneration & Geoengineering","slug":"eco-regeneration-geoengineering","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Wellcome Trust Research Fellow, Division of Evolution, Infection and Genomics","topicExpertise":[{"id":"68b7bc3f247fa978e7dcedda","topic":{"color":{"value":"#0AA288"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Celine Perier","description":{"plain":"Celine Perier joined CEND in fall 2019 as a grant writer.

I have participated as project leader or principal researcher in over 20 projects funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Social Science Foundation of China, National 863 High-Tech Program, National 973 Basic Research Program, as well as in projects funded by a number of international IT companies. I have published, together with my students, about 130 papers in academic journals and international conferences in the above fields. The total number of citations of these papers in Google Scholar is roughly 1,400. I have served as program committee member in numerous national and international conferences, and as conference chair or program committee chair for many times.\nOne of my research focus is Chinese word segmentation, the most fundamental issue in Chinese information processing. I have proposed some key concepts in word segmentation (such as maximal overlapping segmentation ambiguities, true and pseudo segmentation ambiguities, local and global statistics), and have developed an integrated Chinese word segmentation and part-of-speech tagging system, which is able to explore all sorts of knowledge, bigrams of words, parts-of-speech and characters, statistical and structural information of named entities, and local statistics of character strings. I have also tried to extend my experience in Chinese word segmentation to other languages in which word segmentation are need, resulting in an international standard \"ISO/FDIS 24614-1: Language Resource Management -- Word Segmentation of Written Texts -- Part 1: Basic Concepts and General Principles\". I am the only project leader for this ISO standard.\nRecently, I have presented an original viewpoint in NLP: NLP based on huge-scale naturally annotated corpora. The basic idea is with Web-scale corpora, natural annotation may help machine better perform some NLP tasks. There are two types of natural annotation: explicit (such as punctuations, anchor text, query log, Wikipedia, blog tags) and implicit (such as language usage patterns). I further put forward a fundamental problem: if we could integrate all information drawn from naturally annotated corpora of different perspectives, are we able to achieve some degree of deep understanding of languages A preliminary work by my students and me published in Computational Linguistics 2009 showed the usefulness of punctuations in Chinese word segmentation, suggesting that this idea deserves further study.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1749635380/gesda-platform/person/maosong-sun_photo__594E3525C8EEEFAC604E1FA3527_D5D217B2_1E017_bfpu7q.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1749635380/gesda-platform/person/maosong-sun_photo__594E3525C8EEEFAC604E1FA3527_D5D217B2_1E017_bfpu7q.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1749635380/gesda-platform/person/maosong-sun_photo__594E3525C8EEEFAC604E1FA3527_D5D217B2_1E017_bfpu7q.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1749635380/gesda-platform/person/maosong-sun_photo__594E3525C8EEEFAC604E1FA3527_D5D217B2_1E017_bfpu7q.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1749635380/gesda-platform/person/maosong-sun_photo__594E3525C8EEEFAC604E1FA3527_D5D217B2_1E017_bfpu7q.jpg"}}}},"id":"6849516963371e51d83bdf10","name":"Maosong Sun","slug":"maosong-sun","path":"/people/maosong-sun","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"66fa936a3954e02dc53996c3","name":"Tsinghua University","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7a7","name":"Artificial Intelligence","slug":"artificial-intelligence","path":"/topics/artificial-intelligence","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86d","name":"Quantum Revolution & Advanced AI","slug":"quantum-revolution-and-advanced-ai","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Professor Department of Computer Science and Technology","topicExpertise":[{"id":"6849516663371e51d83bdf09","topic":{"color":{"value":"#693973"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2025","color":{"value":"#693973"},"openGraph":{"title":"Eric Xing","description":{"plain":"As MBZUAI’s first president, Professor Eric Xing has led the university’s extraordinary growth in fundamental AI research and has presided over the assemblage of a world-class cadre of eminent faculty.\nAt MBZUAI, Xing has created a platform for students and faculty to showcase their research at a national level and in alignment with national priorities, while maintaining excellence and a strong balance in basic research and translational R and D.\nWith a wealth of experience in academia as an active and world-leading scientist, and as an entrepreneur and administrator, Xing serves as an ambassador from the innovation frontier to educate and train those in the emerging and sometimes chaotic field of artificial intelligence and its application in the real world.\nUnder his direction, numerous partnerships have been established with IBM, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), École Polytechnique, the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS), the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), the Abu Dhabi School of Government, and many more.\nXing has built academic homes and robust curriculums for faculty and students to get the most from their time at the university.

physiological functions of human organs. They offer powerful tools for research in disease modeling, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, the advancement of organoids encounters several hurdles, such as optimizing the microenvironment to enhance functional maturation, achieving precise spatial arrangements of various cell types for complex tissue simulations, and ensuring high-throughput, standardized production for research and clinical needs. To tackle these challenges, we will adhere to the core principles of human organ development, guiding the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells in vitro to accurately replicate the physiological microenvironment of tissue-specific vasculature and mesenchyme, including models of vascularized heart, lung, liver, brain, and intestine. By combining organ-on-a-chip and 3D bioprinting technologies, we will eventually reconstruct the three-dimensional structures and physiological functions of different complex organs. This approach will facilitate the targeted and systematic establishment of in vitro human pathophysiological simulation systems, laying the groundwork for organ regeneration and opening new avenues for innovative therapeutic strategies.\nIn the past, we integrated multi-omics sequencing technologies with patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to reconstruct various organ-specific vascular networks. This approach enabled us to identify tissue-specific vascular pathologies, investigate individualized disease mechanisms, and create new research avenues for developing potential therapeutic strategies for various congenital and degenerative cardiovascular diseases. 1). Uncover endothelium-centered mechanisms underlying single ventricle congenital heart defects (Cell Stem Cell, 2020; Circulation Research, 2022); 2). Construct the first high-resolution human fetal heart four-valve atlas to understand congenital valve hypoplasia (Nature Cardiovascular Research, 2024); 3). Recreate the authentic organotypic lung and intestine vascular bed via vascularized organoids (Cell, 2025).\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1754386480/gesda-platform/person/simon-yifei-miao_photo__image_zfet0f.webp","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1754386480/gesda-platform/person/simon-yifei-miao_photo__image_zfet0f.webp","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1754386480/gesda-platform/person/simon-yifei-miao_photo__image_zfet0f.webp"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1754386480/gesda-platform/person/simon-yifei-miao_photo__image_zfet0f.webp","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1754386480/gesda-platform/person/simon-yifei-miao_photo__image_zfet0f.webp"}}}},"id":"6891d0cd7139278031820ba8","name":"Simon

He started his independent research career at Yale University in 1988.\nJohn Sedivy's research on cell cycle regulation and signal transduction, focusing initially on the Myc oncogene and subsequently on replicative senescence (cellular aging), has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health since 1989. In 2003 he became interested in genomics, and his work on Myc-regulated gene networks led to an involvement in bioinformatics and systems biology. In 2004 his lab started work on single-cell assays of cellular senescence by developing a robust biomarker of telomere-initiated senescence. Using this assay they delineated the signaling pathways between dysfunctional telomeres and the cell cycle, and in 2006 published the first comprehensive in vivo quantification of cellular senescence in aging primates. In 2006 they also discovered that c-Myc contributes to the regulation of chromatin states though the Polycomb pathway, initiating their entry into epigenetics. This led to the development of single-cell assays showing age-associated in vivo expansion of heterochromatin, and current studies of genome-wide chromatin changes in cellular senescence as well as organismal aging.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1760515096/gesda-platform/person/john-sedivy_photo__John_Sedivy_dsa6tw.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1760515096/gesda-platform/person/john-sedivy_photo__John_Sedivy_dsa6tw.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1760515096/gesda-platform/person/john-sedivy_photo__John_Sedivy_dsa6tw.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1760515096/gesda-platform/person/john-sedivy_photo__John_Sedivy_dsa6tw.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1760515096/gesda-platform/person/john-sedivy_photo__John_Sedivy_dsa6tw.jpg"}}}},"id":"68ef5431ae9234dd2162fd23","name":"John Sedivy","slug":"john-sedivy","path":"/people/john-sedivy","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":null,"location":null,"trends":[{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86b","name":"Human Augmentation","slug":"human-augmentation","path":"/trends/human-augmentation","__typename":"Trend"}],"topics":[{"id":"65c55d599e947c438698b7b6","name":"Healthspan Extension","slug":"healthspan-extension","path":"/topics/healthspan-extension","__typename":"Topic","trend":{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86b","name":"Human Augmentation","slug":"human-augmentation","__typename":"Trend"}}],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"","topicExpertise":[{"id":"696847705a47d5e7fa8e0d2f","topic":{"color":{"value":"#078694"}}}],"hasConnectedTopics":true}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"2025","color":{"value":"#078694"},"openGraph":{"title":"Andrei Seluanov","description":{"plain":"Dr. Andrei Seluanov is a Professor of Biology at the University of Rochester.

Dr. Seluanov applies comparative biology approach to study aging and identified rules that control the evolution of tumor suppressor mechanisms depending on the species lifespan and body mass. More recently the focus of his research has been on the longest-lived rodent species in the naked mole rats and the blind mole rat. Seluanov’s group identified high molecular weight hyaluronan as the key mediator of cancer-resistance in the naked mole rat. Dr. Seluanov also demonstrated that DNA double-strand break repair becomes less efficient with aging and cellular senescence which leads to genomic instability and cancer, and this decline is rescued by Sirtuin 6. Seluanov’s work has been published in high profile journals including Nature and Science. He received awards from the Ellison Medical Foundation, Life Extension Foundation and from the National Institutes of Health.

I received my PhD from the University of Aberdeen in 2012, where I worked with Prof Al Brown as part of the Aberdeen Fungal Group (now the MRC Center for Medical Mycology).\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1760584388/gesda-platform/person/jules-ene_photo__research_pasteur-iuliana-ene-ene-iuliana-1-copy-scaled-e1612802810122-150x150_xnshyy.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1760584388/gesda-platform/person/jules-ene_photo__research_pasteur-iuliana-ene-ene-iuliana-1-copy-scaled-e1612802810122-150x150_xnshyy.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1760584388/gesda-platform/person/jules-ene_photo__research_pasteur-iuliana-ene-ene-iuliana-1-copy-scaled-e1612802810122-150x150_xnshyy.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1760584388/gesda-platform/person/jules-ene_photo__research_pasteur-iuliana-ene-ene-iuliana-1-copy-scaled-e1612802810122-150x150_xnshyy.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1760584388/gesda-platform/person/jules-ene_photo__research_pasteur-iuliana-ene-ene-iuliana-1-copy-scaled-e1612802810122-150x150_xnshyy.jpg"}}}},"id":"68f062ccae9234dd2162fe13","name":"Jules Ene","slug":"jules-ene","path":"/people/jules-ene","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":null,"location":null,"trends":[{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86c","name":"Knowledge Foundations","slug":"knowledge-foundations","path":"/trends/knowledge-foundations","__typename":"Trend"}],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":{"value":"#292929"},"openGraph":{"title":"Mat Fisher","description":{"plain":"Prof Matthew Fisher works on emerging pathogenic fungi. His research uses an evolutionary framework to investigate the biological and environmental factors that are driving emerging fungal diseases across human, wildlife and plant species. Wildlife and their environments play a key role in the emergence of human emerging infectious disease (EID) by providing a 'zoonotic pool' from which previously unknown pathogens emerge. Conversely, human action impacts on patterns of fungal disease via the perturbation of natural systems, the introduction, and the spread of pathogenic fungi into naive environments, and by rapid natural selection for phenotypes such as resistance to antimicrobial drugs. These interactions are leading to an upswing of new fungal infections in new places, causing new (and exacerbating old) human diseases. Matthew Fisher’s research group is focused on research using genomic, epidemiological, ecological and experimental analysis to uncover the factors driving these EIDs, and to attempt to develop new methods of diagnosis and control.\nMatthew Fisher is a CIFAR fellow on the programme 'Fungal Kingdom: Threats and Opportunities' and leads the 'Fungal Pathogens' theme in the 'MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis'.

Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Rehovot, focuses on viruses of fungi (mycoviruses). Mycoviruses have been implicated in modified fungal virulence, but our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms is scarce. They recently published an opinion article on this project, which is pending an ERC starting grant (reserve list 2022).\nDr. Shlezinger’s goal is to define the molecular and cellular events, both on the host and the pathogen, that lead to fungal cell death and that are critical to determining host outcomes after fungal infection. Her longstanding interest in host-microbe interactions positions her to build a multidisciplinary program investigating the interplay between innate immunity and fungal pathogens and elucidating the molecular mechanisms that enable fungal pathogens to overcome immune surveillance. She believes that this research direction, which embraces pathogen virulence as a concept that integrates both microbial and host factors, has the potential to yield new insights and novel immunotherapeutics that could potentially help to combat systemic fungal pathogenesis, often a life-threatening condition.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1760587501/gesda-platform/person/neta-shlezinger_photo__FKG_Neta-Shlezinger_bw-190x190_lsalpa.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1760587501/gesda-platform/person/neta-shlezinger_photo__FKG_Neta-Shlezinger_bw-190x190_lsalpa.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1760587501/gesda-platform/person/neta-shlezinger_photo__FKG_Neta-Shlezinger_bw-190x190_lsalpa.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1760587501/gesda-platform/person/neta-shlezinger_photo__FKG_Neta-Shlezinger_bw-190x190_lsalpa.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1760587501/gesda-platform/person/neta-shlezinger_photo__FKG_Neta-Shlezinger_bw-190x190_lsalpa.jpg"}}}},"id":"68f06f02ae9234dd2162fed7","name":"Neta Shlezinger","slug":"neta-shlezinger","path":"/people/neta-shlezinger","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":null,"location":null,"trends":[{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86c","name":"Knowledge Foundations","slug":"knowledge-foundations","path":"/trends/knowledge-foundations","__typename":"Trend"}],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":{"value":"#292929"},"openGraph":{"title":"Kyla Ost","description":{"plain":"Kyla S.

Current effort in the laboratory, focused on the gut-bran axis and cancer, explores the unique neuro-modulatory and cancer-immunity modulating properties of fungi.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1760588532/gesda-platform/person/iliyan-iliev_photo__images_2_jxloqs.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1760588532/gesda-platform/person/iliyan-iliev_photo__images_2_jxloqs.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1760588532/gesda-platform/person/iliyan-iliev_photo__images_2_jxloqs.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1760588532/gesda-platform/person/iliyan-iliev_photo__images_2_jxloqs.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1760588532/gesda-platform/person/iliyan-iliev_photo__images_2_jxloqs.jpg"}}}},"id":"68f0730dae9234dd2162ff1d","name":"iliyan iliev","slug":"iliyan-iliev","path":"/people/iliyan-iliev","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":null,"location":null,"trends":[{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86c","name":"Knowledge Foundations","slug":"knowledge-foundations","path":"/trends/knowledge-foundations","__typename":"Trend"}],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":{"value":"#292929"},"openGraph":{"title":"Stanislas Leibler","description":{"plain":"Stanislas Leibler is the Gladys T. Perkins Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Living Matter at The Rockefeller University. Dr. Leibler is interested in the quantitative description of microbial systems, both on cellular and population levels.\nIn recent years, the field of molecular biology has moved away from the study of individual components and toward the study of how they interact, creating a “systemic” approach that seeks an appropriate and quantitative description of cells and organisms. Dr. Leibler’s laboratory is developing both the theoretical and experimental methods necessary for conducting studies on the collective behavior of biomolecules, cells and organisms. By selecting a number of basic questions on how simple genetic and biochemical networks function in bacteria, his lab is beginning to understand how individual components can give rise to complex, collective phenomena.\nRecent research topics in the laboratory include quantitative studies of interacting microorganisms. In particular, the question of the survival of microbial populations in varying environments is being addressed both experimentally and theoretically. Dr. Leibler and his collaborators are developing new experimental techniques that will facilitate quantitative analysis of long-time population dynamics in microbial populations. In parallel, they are developing statistical methods for the so-called inverse problems, in which the interactions between different components of a biological system are deduced from measured statistical correlations. Long-term dynamics of closed microbial ecosystems are being analyzed by these inverse methods.  Similar theoretical approaches are also applied to other types of data, such as spiking activity of retinal neuron assemblies or evolution of protein families.\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1760588735/gesda-platform/person/stanislas-leibler_photo__images_3_rbleby.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1760588735/gesda-platform/person/stanislas-leibler_photo__images_3_rbleby.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1760588735/gesda-platform/person/stanislas-leibler_photo__images_3_rbleby.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1760588735/gesda-platform/person/stanislas-leibler_photo__images_3_rbleby.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1760588735/gesda-platform/person/stanislas-leibler_photo__images_3_rbleby.jpg"}}}},"id":"68f073caae9234dd2162ff2a","name":"Stanislas Leibler","slug":"stanislas-leibler","path":"/people/stanislas-leibler","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":null,"location":null,"trends":[{"id":"65c55d5c9e947c438698b86c","name":"Knowledge Foundations","slug":"knowledge-foundations","path":"/trends/knowledge-foundations","__typename":"Trend"}],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":{"value":"#292929"},"openGraph":{"title":"Salomé LeibundGut-Landmann","description":{"plain":"Salomé obtained her PhD on molecular mechanisms of dendritic cell functions from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, in 2003.

Trained as a mechanical engineer, he has devoted over three decades to transforming education systems, particularly in remote mountain regions. In 1988, soon after completing his studies, he founded Students’ Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh, an initiative aimed at reforming the government school system in Ladakh.\nIn 1994, he played a key role in launching Operation New Hope, a collaborative effort between the government, village communities, and civil society. The initiative introduced Village Education Committees to strengthen local ownership of schools, trained teachers in child-friendly methods and developed localized curricula. These efforts significantly improved academic outcomes, raising the Class 10 pass percentage from just 5% to over 55% within seven years, and to around 75% today.\nTo support students who struggled in conventional systems, he established the SECMOL Alternative School near Leh—an unconventional campus where failure in exams is the only entry criterion. With no textbooks or traditional classrooms, students learn through hands-on, experiential methods. This environment has enabled many previously underperforming students to excel and pursue diverse careers as entrepreneurs, filmmakers, educators and public leaders.\nAs an innovator, Wangchuk has also applied engineering solutions to local challenges. At SECMOL, he worked with students to design low-cost, solar-heated mud buildings that maintain indoor temperatures of around +15°C even during harsh winters when outside temperatures drop to –15°C. To address water scarcity caused by climate change, he invented the “Ice Stupa”—an artificial glacier that stores winter water in the form of ice cones, releasing it in spring when it is most needed for agriculture.\nBuilding on his philosophy of “learning by doing,” he went on to establish the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh (HIAL), a higher education institution focused on mountain contexts. The university integrates academics with real-world application and entrepreneurship, enabling students to learn through hands-on work while also earning during their studies—making it a pioneering “Doers’ University.”\nWangchuk’s contributions have been widely recognized through prestigious honors, including the Ramon Magsaysay Award (2018), Rolex Award for Enterprise (2016), Global Award for Sustainable Architecture, and the UNESCO Chair for Earth Architecture in India (2014), among many others.\nThrough his work, Sonam Wangchuk continues to inspire a shift toward practical, sustainable, and context-driven education and innovation\n"},"image":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/v1781878649/gesda-platform/person/sonam-wangchuck_photo__Picture16_c7g2yf.jpg","thumbnails":{"faceLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_128/v1781878649/gesda-platform/person/sonam-wangchuck_photo__Picture16_c7g2yf.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_auto,g_face,w_256/v1781878649/gesda-platform/person/sonam-wangchuck_photo__Picture16_c7g2yf.jpg"},"bubbleLarge":{"url":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_128/v1781878649/gesda-platform/person/sonam-wangchuck_photo__Picture16_c7g2yf.jpg","url2x":"https://res.cloudinary.com/shapeable/image/upload/c_limit,w_256/v1781878649/gesda-platform/person/sonam-wangchuck_photo__Picture16_c7g2yf.jpg"}}}},"id":"6a354fb3f71922e384dce08f","name":"Sonam Wangchuck","slug":"sonam-wangchuck","path":"/people/sonam-wangchuck","__typename":"Person","_schema":{"label":"Person","pluralLabel":"People"},"organisation":{"id":"6a354fa5f71922e384dce080","name":"Himalayan Institute of Alternatives Ladakh","location":null},"location":null,"trends":[],"topics":[],"country":null,"linkedin":null,"position":"Activist","topicExpertise":[],"hasConnectedTopics":false}},{"data":{"typeLabel":"Person","badge":"","color":null,"openGraph":{"title":"Zhiping Zhong","description":{"plain":"Zhiping Zhong is a professor at the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, focusing on glacier-preserved microbiota and their connections to past and present climate change.

At Byrd Center, his research examined microbial and viral communities across a range of cryospheric environments, including the glacier ice cores to explore how the archived microbes/viruses and their interactions have responded to paleoclimate change over tens to hundreds of thousands of years, and the Arctic sea ice and ancient hypersaline brines within permafrost to understand how microbes and viruses evolve and persist under subzero and extreme salinity conditions.
