Prof.Roger M. Leblanc research interest was on the photosynthesis and photoconductivity using surface chemistry and spectroscopy. His current research interest is to apply 2-dimensional (2-D) surface chemistry combined with spectroscopy and microscopy to investigate the properties of nanomaterials (graphene oxide, carbon dots and quantum dots) and the fibrillation process of amyloidogenic proteins (insulin, amyloid-beta peptide and islet amyloid polypeptide). He is also interested to design and develop biosensors with high sensitivity and selectivity for diseases diagnosis.

He is the associate editor of 3 SCI indexed scientific journals and received numerous awards and honors such as 2016 Pioneer in Technology Development Award by the Society of Braining Mapping Awards.

Dr. Li is an expert in bioelectronics, specifically in the development of biomedical devices such as wearable/portable biosensors. Dr. Li’s research interests include Point Care of Testings, cell/organ on chips, cell electronics, neuron-device interface, biomarker and nanotoxicity measurements and electron transfer study of various biomolecules.

H. Viernstein studied Pharmacy at the University of Vienna and received his Master’s degree in 1977. After his PhD-study at the Austrian Research Center Seibersdorf, Division Life Sciences, he graduated as doctor of natural sciences in 1981. After several postdoctoral fellowships in Berlin, Freiburg, etc. he became assistant professor at the University of Vienna and obtained his habilitation in the field of pharmaceutical technology. He acted as visiting professor at the universities of Chiang Mai, Athens, and Innsbruck. Since 1999 H. Viernstein is Full Professor and Head of the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics at the University of Vienna.

The current research focuses on structure studies of new oligosaccharides from plant sources and their biological activities, especially prebiotic effects. Another working group deals with the syntheses of aminosaccharides as building blocks for innovative excipients or chondroprotective agents. In addition, research interests include the complexation of drug substances with selected Cyclodextrins for stabilization, increase of solubility, taste improvement, etc

Prof. Giorgia Oliviero received her PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2002 at University of Naples Federico II, in Italy. She worked as full-time researcher at the Faculty of Pharmacy in Naples from 2004 to 2016. Nowadays, she is Associate Professor at the School of Medicine and Surgery in Naples. Prof. Oliviero is coordinator of the Organizing Committee of the International Summer School on Natural Products, member of the SYSBIO Centre of Systems Biology, author of more than 90 papers in peer-reviewed journals and external reviewer for research funding programs.

Prof. Oliviero’s scientific interests are in the field of nucleic acids chemistry and biology. Her research is focused on DNA quadruplexes formed by aptamers, telomeres, and synthetic G-rich oligonucleotides. The biological roles played by these structures, as well as their potential application as biosensors or electronic nanodevices are currently investigated.

Prof. Koçak got B.Sc. (1975), M.Sc. (1976), and Ph. (1980) degrees respectively from Birmingham, Salford, and Aston Universities in England. After working at Ankara Nuclear Research and Training Center for 6 years he became a faculty at Ankara University in 1986. He has published 13 papers in reputed journals and a book chapter. He has participated in numerous international symposia. He is currently spending a sabbatical year at Beckman Institute of Illinois University, Urbana-Champaign. His doctoral work rendered a dynamic simulation package which pioneered simultaneous modularity via novel twice-round execution. He published several nonlinear equation solvers, two bearing his name.

Prof. Koçak teaches, researches, and applies numerical methods, modeling, simulation, experimental design, and programming. His work at Beckman Institute has involved application of least squares to fit a certain model to ramp-hold curves in nanoindentation with the aim to characterize viscoelastic materials. He is keen to learn new programming languages and platforms.

Deniz Hür has completed his PhD in Organic Chemistry area in 2004 at Anadolu University. During his PhD works he was worked as a Research Scholar at Florida Center for Heterocyclic Compounds, Florida USA. He has published more than 35 papers and he is writer of several book chapters. He has Professor position since 2015 at Anadolu University
