Sule Dogan
Dr. Sule Dogan has BSc in Biology from Ankara University, MSc in Embryology and another Master’s degree in science education, both from Dokuz Eylul University in Turkey. After completing her Andrology and Embryology training, she worked at the IVF Clinic of Dokuz Eylul University Medical School between 2007 and 2009. She completed her PhD in Life Sciences/ Genetics program at Mississippi State University. Dr. Dogan joined IVF Michigan Fertility Centers as an embryologist in 2013, started serving as the quality control and laboratory supervisor in 2015 and then became the laboratory director in 2019. She has opened up new andrology laboratories, trained many andrologists and embryologists. She is currently serving as the director of laboratory operations in many locations of IVF Michigan and IVF Ohio Fertility Centers. Dr. Dogan is a certified by ABB as Technical Supervisor in Andrology and Embryology, and as High Complexity Lab Director (HCLD). She has many publications in international journals, including many book chapters. Dr. Dogan has been serving as a reviewer for scientific journals and conferences since 2010.
Ana I. Duarte
Post-Doc Fellow at Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (since 2007), Coimbra, Portugal. Visiting researcher at Neuronal Survival Unit, Wallenberg Neuroscience Center, Lund Medical School, Lund, Sweden (Sept 2008 - May 2009). PhD and MSc in Biology (Cell Biology) by University of Coimbra, Portugal (in 2007 and 2002, respectively). Degree in Biology by University of Coimbra, Portugal (in 1998).
Karine Dubrana
Group leader of the Genome Instability and Nuclear Organization Laboratory, CEA, IRCM, France. PhD in Microbiology and Molecular Biology.
Elaine A Dunlop
Dr. Elaine Dunlop is a Lecturer in the Division of Cancer and Genetics at Cardiff University. She received her PhD in Cancer Research from Queen's University, Belfast and her research now centres on the inherited genetic conditions, Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome where patients are predisposed to develop cysts and tumours. She is interested in the crossover between the cell signalling observed in these genetic diseases and the pathways which are at fault in cancer, with a focus on mTORC1 growth pathways, autophagy and the tumour microenvironment.
Tushar K. Dutta
I am a Senior Scientist at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, involved in pursuing basic and applied research in the field of Nematology and Entomology.
As an alternative to Bt Cry toxins for insect pest management, a number of novel bacterial protein toxins (Txp40, TcaB) derived from an insect-parasitic bacterium Photorhabdus akhurstii (symbiont of nematode Heterorhabditis indica) were characterized. The mode of action and pathogenesis process of these toxins were investigated in different lepidopteran insects including Galleria mellonella, Helicoverpa armigera, Spodoptera litura and S. exigua. The potential receptor proteins and their binding sites for these toxins were unravelled from the insect midgut epithelial cells.
My other research interests include molecular basis of plant-nematode interaction. Using RNAi, functional analysis of several plant parasitism processes was deciphered including the role of Mi-cpl-1 in metabolic process, FLP and NLP neuropeptides in neuromusculation process, ODR and TAX proteins in chemotaxis process, cell wall degrading enzymes and various MSP effectors in infection process of plant nematodes. I have contributed in understanding the genetic basis of nematode resistance in rice via genome-wide association mapping coupled with omics-driven strategies. I am currently pursuing genome editing research for developing nematode resistance by adopting CRISPR-Cas9 strategy in Arabidopsis, rice and tomato.
Andrew L Eamens
Dr Andrew Eamens joined the School of Health at the University of the Sunshine Coast as a Lecturer in Biomedical Science in 2022. Prior to joining the University of the Sunshine Coast, Andrew held teaching or research positions at the University of Queensland, University of Newcastle, University of Sydney, University of York, and CSIRO Agriculture and Food.
Jurgen Engelberth
Dr. Jurgen Engelberth has a Ph.D. in plant physiology from the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. After working at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and at USDA, ARS, CMAVE in Gainesville, FL, he joined the biology faculty at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). He is currently an Associate Professor for plant biochemistry. He is an Associate Editor for Plant Signaling and Behavior and Plants. His work is focussed on plant-plant interactions by volatiles signals in response to biotic and abiotic stresses.
