Dr. A C MATIN is Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Matin's laboratory studies improvment in prodrug cancer chemotherapy; genetic and protein engineering to improve biological processes, such as bioremediation; microbial biofilms; cellular resistance to antimicrobial agents; and microbial stress response. Recent progress of the laboratory is: The ChrR enzyme has been crystallized and new improved mutants were obtained by rational design. Magnetite genes were expressed in mammalian cells. PK/PD studies of CNOB/ChrR anticancer therapy were completed. A new paradigm was worked out of bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics. In collaboration with NASA (Moffett Field) a protocol was developed to test hypotheses for increased bacterial antibiotic resistance by microgavity during actual space flight on board a small satellite He is in the editorial board of five journals member and chair of several NIH review panels.

Mario A Bianchet received his Ph.D. from The University of La Plata, Argentine, and performed Postdoctoral studies at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where he is now an Assistant Professor of Neurology since 2011. He has published 70 papers in reputed journals. As structural enzymologist and expert in ligand recognition, he has participated in several seminal structural and mechanistic studies of macromolecules and ligand/macromolecule interactions of biomedical interest. He has significant contributions to different fields, including bioenergetics: F1-ATPase, xenobiotic-response: NADPH:Quinone oxidoreductases, DNA-repair: Uracyl-Glycosylase/inhibitors, carbohydrate-recognition: animal lectins, and late-stage cell-wall biosynthesis: LD-transpeptidases and their complexes with substrates and carbapenems.

My research aims to understand essential relations between macromolecules’ structure and their mechanisms of action in biological processes involved in human diseases. With that goal I am applying diverse techniques and methods including x-ray scattering and diffraction, as well as computer modeling and simulation to elucidate these relations that will have a direct impact on the understanding, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human diseases

Gerald C. Hsu received an honorable PhD in mathematics and majored in engineering at MIT. He attended different universities over 17 years and studied seven academic disciplines. He has spent 20,000 hours in T2D research. First, he studied six metabolic diseases and food nutrition during 2010-2013, then conducted research during 2014-2018. His approach is “math-physics and quantitative medicine” based on mathematics, physics, engineering modeling, signal processing, computer science, big data analytics, statistics, machine learning, and AI. His main focus is on preventive medicine using prediction tools. He believes that the better the prediction, the more control you have.
