Sociedad Mexicana de Anatomía (Mexican Society of Anatomy) International Society for Applied Cardiovascular Biology (ISACB)
Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
Dr. Agre's research focuses on molecular aspects of human diseases, including hemolytic anemias, blood group antigens, and malaria. As Director of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute, he oversees scientific training and research efforts of 20 laboratories in Baltimore and field studies in Zambia and Zimbabwe. In 2003, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of aquaporin water channels, or the "plumbing system of cells." He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
Director of the Center for Neural Engineering and Brush Chair Professor of Engineering, Penn State College of Engineering
A Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. Schiff has dedicated a significant portion of his career to the study and treatment of brain diseases in children. Most recently, an NIH grant allowed him to partner with the local government, CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda, as well as with experts from Harvard University, George Mason University, and Genentech, to treat hydrocephalus in Uganda. Leveraging this global perspective, he will speak on brain growth and volume.
Director of the Centre for Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine, King’s College London
A Fellow of the Royal Society and the Academy of Medical Sciences, Dr. Watt is internationally known for epidermal stem cell research. The wattlab studies stem cells in their environment, particularly in the regulation of cell fate decisions. A current project is the Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Initiative, which aims to create a UK national iPS cell resource for genetic studies. She will share her unique perspectives on epidermal stem cells and tissue repair.
Director of the Laboratory of Tissue Development and Regeneration, University of Southern California
An Academician of Academia Sinica, Taiwan, Dr. Chuong studies morphogenesis, using the feather as a Rosetta stone to decipher principles that guide stems cells to form specific tissues and organs. Among other topics, he has published research on branching morphogenesis, periodic patterning in feathers and hairs, and physiological regeneration of skin appendages. He will discuss tissue morphogenesis and the evolutionary development of hair, feather, scales, and beaks.
