Dr. Awate received his Master’s in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from George Washington University in 2010. His Master’s Thesis focused on the transcriptional regulation of Estrogen Receptor α by BP1, transcription factor activated in breast cancer. He then decided to pursue his Ph.D. in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Louisiana State University. During his Ph.D. he identified inhibitors of Tousled-like Kinase 1B that is overexpressed in Breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. He was awarded his Ph.D. in 2016 and then went on to join the Robert Brosh laboratory at NIH/NIA as a postdoctoral fellow where he studied the molecular functions and genetic roles of DNA helicases engaged in the replication stress response. Currently he is working as a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins Drug discovery to identify small molecule inhibitors for the treatment of cancers and neurological disorders.

Dr. Singh received her PhD (2013) from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), India. During her Ph.D. work she investigated the mechanistic basis of insulator function by analyzing the epigenetically regulated complex insulator element present at the H19-ICR locus. This work led to the development of novel in vivo model and tools to understand complex genomic regulation by epigenetic mechanisms at antigen receptor loci.  Soon after finishing PhD she joined as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Shalini Oberdoerffer, NCI/NIH her long-term goal is to understand mechanisms of developmental neurotoxicity occurring from exposures to environmental pollutants and develop intervention strategies that could potentially improve child developmental outcomes. This led her to the laboratory of Dr. Jay Schneider, Thomas Jefferson University, where she was able to apply her technical and theoretical expertise in epigenetics to gain insight into complex areas of biology and human health using animal models. Subsequently, she became a junior member of faculty at Thomas Jefferson University.

Domenica Farci PhD completed her studies in Cellular and Molecular Biology in July 2014 at the University of Cagliari, Italy. In October 2017 she received the Doctorate in Biochemistry from the Universität zu Köln studying the supramolecular organization of a membrane chemoreceptor on cells by high resolution cryo‑electron microscopy. In June 2017 she was awarded the L'Oréal-UNESCO Fellowship for Women in Science (FWIS) as a national winner for Italy with the project “Functional and structural characterisation of the main S-layer protein DR_2577 of Deinococcus radiodurans”. Under the supervision of Dr. Hab. Dario Piano PhD, she is working at the FWIS project as a Postdoctoral researcher in the Laboratories of Plant Biology and Photobiology, Department of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Cagliari, Italy. Current studies are also including the characterisation of S-layer proteins from different extremophiles and of carotenoid-binding proteins from fruit chromoplasts.

Plant system grows and re-produces only under an optimum range of environmental factors such as light, water and air.Being a biological sciences student, I have developed this inquisitiveness of observing plants, their behavior and changes in response to environment since my graduation.This has prompted me to choose plant sciences as major for my postgradauation with crop physiology and Biotechnology, Plant Molecular Genetics as elective subjects. I joined for M.phil in Pondicherry University, India.I continued my study on the mulberry plants for Ph.D. by taking drought stress as the key parameter.Mulberry is a hardy plant which is cultivated under varied agro climatic conditions in around 0.28 million hectares in India, constituting a major economic crop.For my work, I was awarded Ph.D. in 2003 December, which was supported by the research fellowship from Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Government of India.After completion of my Ph.D., I continued my work on drought stress and mulberry in the 2-D gel analysis of the polypeptide identified in mulberry during drought stress and other molecular responses for my postdoctoral research.I got an opportunity to work independently in the form of Assistant Professor Position in the Biotechnology Department, GITAM University located in Visakhapatnam, India in 2009.
