Evan Keller
Richard and Susan Rogel Professor of Oncology and Professor of Urology and Pathology
University of Michigan School of Medicine (MI, USA)
Evan Keller is the Richard and Susan Rogel Professor of Oncology and Professor of Urology and Pathology at the University of Michigan School of Medicine. He is also Director of the Single Cell Spatial Analysis Program at the university.
He uses single-cell and spatial analytics in his research to study the tumor microenvironment and metastasis.
Brian Brown
Director of the Icahn Genomics Institute
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (NY, USA)
Brian Brown is an immunologist and molecular biologist whose research has a strong focus on biotechnology and therapeutics. His lab is currently working to identify the factors that control immunity and tolerance with plans to translate these findings into strategies that can be used to mobilize the immune system against viruses or cancers.
He is the Associate Director of Mount Sinai’s Precision Immunology Institute and Director of the Icahn Genomics Institute.
Beth Cimini
Senior Group Leader
Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (MA, USA)
Beth Cimini’s team works with biologists to help them create image analysis workflows. Additionally, her team is responsible for the maintenance and continual development of the open-source image analysis software, CellProfiler. In 2020, she was named a CZI Imaging Scientist for her work on making open-source image analysis tools more accessible to the bioimaging community and for her creation of a postdoctoral training program for bioimage analysis.
