Kathryn Ball
Kathryn Ball trained as an enzymologist and protein biochemist. She was awarded a Broodbank Fellowship (University of Cambridge) and was the first CRUK Senior Cancer Research Fellow (University of Dundee). She moved to the University of Edinburgh in 2004 where she is the Professor of Biochemistry and Cell Signalling. Her current research is focused on protein structure function analysis and the mechanisms underlying the regulation of protein function by ubiquitin in human health and disease.

His research interests include: Precision Medicine, Breast Cancer, Cancer Research, Cancer Stem Cells, Immuno-oncology, Cancer Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Prognosis, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Functional Urology, and Genitourinary Malignancies.
Priyanka Banerjee
Dr. Priyanka Banerjee earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry (Molecular Biology) from India. She has more than 15 years of experience in Molecular Biology, Cancer biology, and is currently working working on metastatic cancer progression, cellular crosstalk in tumor microenvironment in her role as postdoctoral research associate in US lab.
Dr. Banerjee has extensive experience reviewing for multiple journals (more than 25 journals), and has published her own work in peer reviewed journals, including, Cancer Immunology Research, Redox Biology, Scientific Reports, Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Clinical Microbiology and Infection etc.
Davide Barreca
Davide Barreca is an Associate Professor of biochemistry at the University of Messina. He is specialized in enzyme modulation by natural compounds, inhibition of protein aggregation and activation of signal apoptotic cascade. Most of his research projects concentrate on separation and identification of unknown flavonoids, structural-activity elucidation, and biochemical analysis of their health promoting or cytotoxicity properties on cells culture. He is author of over 110 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 35 chapters in books, and 70 conference proceedings and reviewer of over 40 international scientific journals.
Barbara Bartolini
I have a degree in Biological Sciences with specialization in biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Pavia, Italy, where I got also my Ph.D. degree in biochemistry with a thesis on fibrillar collagens, proteoglycans, and integrins and their role in the extracellular matrix organization.
My main scientific interest is glycobiology, as I have worked on hyaluronan, dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate, oxidation specific epitopes and atherosclerosis.
I have also a strong background in cell biology and especially in cell migration and motility.
Tobias I Baskin
Professor of Biology at University of Massachusetts Amhrest starting in 1992. Previously a faculty member at the University of Missouri Columbia. Member of the Editorial Boards of Planta, Plants, and PLOS ONE. Recipient of the Jeanette Siron Pelton Award from the Botanical Society of America.
Gerrit T.S. Beemster
Professor of Biology at the University of Antwerp. Member of the Flemish Science Foundation review board. Editor of the journals Journal of Plant Research, Frontiers in Plant Science and PLOS ONE
Rajesh Bhardwaj
Dr. Rajesh Bhardwaj is a senior research fellow at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in North Carolina, USA. He is skilled in combining molecular and structural biology techniques as well as pharmacological and computational approaches with state-of-the-art high-throughput screening to dissect the gating and regulatory molecular mechanisms of calcium channels, calcium sensors and solute carrier family transporters. His research interests include studying calcium signaling in health and disease with a focus on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact sites with plasma membrane and mitochondria.
