The focus of my research has been to study biomarkers of plasticity and, to search for and develop new therapies to ameliorate symptoms of degenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease that compromise daily functioning and quality of life. My most recent research focus is non-invasive brain stimulation therapies, and I am conducting several trials using transcranial direct current stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation for rehabilitation of Parkinson’s disease. I am a Neurologist trained in Argentina; I have completed two Post-Doc Research Fellowships and the NYU School of medicine. The first one investigating Alzheimer’s disease and other dementing disorders with a focus on biomarkers (especially CSF) and sleep disorders inthe NYU Psychiatry Department. The second one,focused on biomarkers of cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease and neurophysiology, motor control and motor learning at NYU Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center in the Neurology Department. Currently I am Research Assistant Professor and Associate Director of the Neurophysiology laboratory of non-invasive brain stimulation at the NYU Fresco Institute for Parkinson’s and Movement Disorder.

Takashi Kikuchi is a unique medical scientist because two doctoral degrees in medical science (Nagoya University, Japan) and statistics (University of Oxford)  were awarded to him. He studied  Ret oncogene at Aichi cancer institute in Nagoya, Japan with Dr. Takahashi who founded the gene.

After he obtained a doctoral degree in medicine, he continued basic research on P53 oncogene for several years in Nichirei Corporation but changed the job from the basic research to clinical trials. During the duties of a pharmaceutical company, Novo Nordisk, he recognized the importance of statistics and resigned the company to study statistics in Australia and UK. In Australia, he studied medical statistics in the University of Newcastle. Then he moved to the University of Oxford as a doctoral student; he developed a novel statistical methodology to define the optimal sample size considering the cost-benefit of the clinical trial. Professor John Gittins supervised his doctoral research.

After he returned to Japan, as an expert statistician, he joined Translational Research Center for Medical Innovation to take an important role in clinical trials on study design, statistical analysis, and reporting. He is interested in developing a new methodology to measure the severity of Alzheimer’s disease and discovered a novel assessment algorithm, three-dimensional distance (TDD) for ABC dementia scale. He is an expert in Bayesian statistics.

My name is Jes Paul. I have a doctorate’s of science degree in neuroscience and have worked in the field of research under many international universities and hospitals for more than five years while staying current with all the latest advances in the research technologies. In my past position, it was my responsibility to research on the cellular and molecular pathology related to pulmonary hypertension.

I have conducted theoretical research using computer simulations and have also conducted laboratory experiments on tissue samples. Being an Editorial Board Member and Reviewer Member in many international journals, I have a thorough knowledge in the field of modern medicine and research. When necessary, I have overseen both clinical tests and trial and have also written scientific papers that were published in the international journals .I have always envisioned my future self as a clinical researcher. My work is immediately engaging, novel as well as easily accessible to those new to research. I can work with advanced equipments, and use deductive reasoning and critical thinking skills to solve complex problems. I  am completely aware of novel business skills and industry trends.

DR.Arend L. Mapanawang, is the director of Health Medical College in Halmahera, North of Maluku, Indonesia as well as the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Health Medicine and Current Research (www.ijhmcr.com), Chairman International Arend Index (IAI), and International Conference on Health Medicine (ICCHM) dr. Arend (usual nick name) is an expert in herbal medicine including for the curing of malaria, HIV virus, and hepatitis, as well as a practical doctor for healing many other internal body parts of human being deceases with more than 20 years experiences. He had written various books including history and the cause of world wars books. His publications in various international journals have made him as a prominent invited speaker in the world such as in South Korea, United Kingdom, and USA. Curently, Arend is the best scientist in the whole North Maluku province of Eastern Indonesia. On 27th February 2018, Dr. Elim and  Arend gave a quest lecture in the best and oldest university of Indonesia in Jakarta: a new history in Indonesia that scientists from a small university provided their best knowledge to a huge prominent university scientists and students.

Dr. Patty Aguilera is an Assistant Teaching Professor of Human Development and Family Studies. She earned her doctorate in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education at The Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Aguilera holds a M.S. in Psychology, and completed a residency in Marriage and Family Therapy. She has been teaching since 1995 at the graduate and undergraduate level. In addition to her teaching, Dr. Aguilera worked as a clinical therapist and supervisor, and created a school for older adults in Mexico.

Topics related to older adults such as education for senior citizens, ageism, community well-being, intergenerational activities, and strategies to promote cognitive health. One of her passions is neuroplasticity.

Rosanna Avola was born in Enna, Italy, in 1985. She received the master’s degree in Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Technologies, University of Catania, Italy, in 2013. In 2017, she received the Ph.D. degrees in neuroscience from the University of Catania, Italy. From 2017, she held a number of qualified academic tutor and research posts, including a research fellowship at the University of Catania, Italy. In 2018, she managed to get her own research fellowship at Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry, National Research Council (C.N.R.), Catania, Italy. She is interested in many research topics including the generation of in vitro cell culture models of inflammation and neurodegeneration, the evaluation of the cellular mechanisms and their modulation by nutraceutical compounds in physiological and pathophysiological in vitro models. Much of her scientific production is based on the evaluation of the expression profile of aquaporins (AQPs) and the knowledge on stem cells biology with a special attention to the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue. Her current research interests include the design of nanostructured systems useful in the delivery of molecules of biological relevance
