Claire Hellio is Vice President of the European Society for Marine Biotechnology and professor at the University of Western Brittany (IUEM / LEMAR).

She leads the platform bioprospecting Biodimar. she works to develop the use of marine biomasses and their valuation in the areas of antifouling and cosmetics

Rinku Majumder has completed his PhD in 1999 from Bose Institute, India and postdoctoral studies from UNC Chapel Hill, School of Medicine in 2003. She is currently an associate professor in the department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at LSU Health Science Center, School of Medicine. She has published more than 22 papers in very reputed journals and has been serving as an standing study section member for NIH, AHA grants.She is the reviewer for reputed journals like Blood, JTH, JBC, Plos One, Biochemistry and Thrombosis Hemostasis

I am interested in the biochemistry of lipid-protein interactions and my research focuses on the structure-function relationships of plasma coagulants and anticoagulants. My main research project focuses on the anticoagulant Protein S. PS is a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein synthesized in the endothelium.

Dr. Spiryda received a BA in Biochemistry with Honors from Barnard College, Columbia University and a PhD in Cell Biology and Anatomy/Biomedical Sciences and MD from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Massachusetts Hospital Integrated Residency Program at Harvard University.

After studying physics in Germany, Frebel received her PhD from the Australian National University's Mt. Stromlo Observatory in 2007, advised by Prof. John E. Norris. For her work on "Abundance Analysis of Bright Metal-Poor Stars from the 'Hamburg/ESO Survey", Frebel was awarded the 2007 Charlene Heisler Prize (for the best Australian astronomy PhD thesis). She then received the WJ McDonald Postdoctoral Fellowship which took her to Austin, TX (2006-2008) before taking up the Clay Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in early 2009. She was awarded the 2009 Ludwig-Biermann young astronomer award of the German Astronomical Society as well as the 2010 Annie Jump Cannon Award of the American Astronomical Society. In early 2012, Dr. Frebel joined the MIT physics faculty as Assistant Professor, and she won a 2013 NSF CAREER award.

Professor Frebel's research interests broadly cover the chemical and physical conditions of the early Universe, and how old, metal-deficient stars can be used to obtain constraints on the first stars and initial mass function, supernova yields and stellar nucleosynthesis. She is best known for her discoveries and subsequent spectroscopic analyses of the most metal-poor stars and how these stars can be employed to uncover information about the early Universe.

Dr. Hoberman is the Global Director of DART and Juvenile Toxicology for Charles River. He has over 40 years of experience in toxicology and is both a Diplomate of American Board of Toxicology and a Fellow of the Academy of Toxicoloigcal Sciences.. He is the incoming President of the Teratology Society, the firs Socieity dedicated to the study of birth defects. He has published more than 85 peer reviewed papers and co-edited the first book on non-clinical pediatric testing
