Dr. Stevan Pecic is an assistant professor at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at California State University, Fullerton. His main research interests and assignments are focused on the identification of novel inhibitors of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism and their evaluation as potential therapeutics in pain management.

Xiaohui Weng earned a bachelor’s in chemistry from Fordham University and recently completed her master’s degree working in Dr. Pecic medicinal chemistry lab at California State University, Fullerton. Her current research focuses on target identification for glioblastoma and the synthesis of new anti-cancer drugs.

Michael Gonzalez is a graduate student pursuing a master’s in chemistry at California State University Fullerton. Currently he also interns at a start-up biotech company, playing an important role in chemistry development for their high-throughput macrocyclic synthesis platform.

Arya obtained his Hon. BSc. in Human kinetics from University of Guelph, where he completed a summer internship at Dr. Ghavami’s lab at University of Manitoba. Arya then pursued a double major from York University majoring in Neuropsychology. Arya’s research under the supervision of Dr. Ghavami resulted in four publications, and he has since been involved in the review and publication process of manuscripts in highly regarded journals. Arya is currently entering the second year of his Doctor of Dental Surgery program at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto.

Dr. Amir Barzegar Behrooz is a cancer researcher and postdoctoral fellow at the College of Pharmacy, University of Manitoba. His work focuses on various aspects of cancer biology, particularly glioblastoma. His work focuses on targeted cancer therapy, and theranostic targets in cancer cells via Onco-Multi-OMICS.

Dr. Rui Vitorino, Principal Investigator at the University of Aveiro, specializes in OMICS, proteomics, and bioinformatics. His research on biofluids like saliva and urine aims to uncover disease pathways and biomarkers. Vitorino's multidisciplinary approach enhances early disease detection, influencing molecular and cell biology studies significantly.

Dr. Ghavami, an Associate Professor at the University of Manitoba, specializes in apoptosis, autophagy, and unfolded protein response regulation. With over 300 publications and numerous awards, he's globally recognised. Affiliated with institutions worldwide, he serves as Associate Editor for multiple scientific journals.

Sue Lee has worked for World Courier for 25 years. During this time she has experienced a variety of customer service and operational functions, including the setting up of numerous, multi-national, clinical sites for the transportation of biological samples. She orchestrated the shipping of thousands of shipments with very specific temperature requirements to a host of challenging locations, and each presenting their own obstacles and dilemmas.

I am Chanchal Kumawat. I started my journey in science as Ph.D. student at Regional Centre for Biotechnology and continued as postdoctoral fellow at Max Perutz labs, Austria.  I enjoyed making scientific discoveries in the laboratory and now, enjoy communicating it as a science writer.

Jyothi U Menon received her PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Texas (UT) Arlington and UT Southwestern Medical Center joint program. She completed her postdoctoral training at the University of Oxford, UK. She is currently an Associate Professor in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Rhode Island where her research focus is on targeted drug delivery systems to treat lung and liver diseases, and in vitro disease modeling.
