Soraya L. Valles are working as assistant professor in Department of

Physiology, School of Medicine, and University of Valencia, Spain.

Specialization: Biochemical and Molecular Biology.

Research Interests: 1) Discovery of novel pharmaceutical products that can

be developed to novel drugs in particular anticancer and Alzheimer’s

disease. 2) Discover the pathways produced by the drugs in both illness.

Elucidating and understanding the mechanisms of action.

Mourad Tayebi is Associate Professor in Biomedical Sciences at the School

of Medicine, Western Sydney University, AUSTRALIA. Dr. Tayebi is an

international expert in the field of PROTEIN MISFOLDING DISEASES,

with specific focus on investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying

pathogenic protein misfolding and characterizing the misfoldome associated

with these disorders. Dr. Tayebi’s team is very active in the development of

neurodegenerative diseases.

TY Chang and Cathy Chang are a husband/wife team, and share the same

laboratory, with TY as the PI and Cathy as the co-PI, at Geisel School of

Medicine at Dartmouth. They have been working on cholesterol

metabolism research for more than four decades. The Changes and their

colleagues did ground breaking work by identifying the gene that encodes

the cholesterol storage enzyme acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase 1

(ACAT1/SOAT1). Subsequently, they performed extensive functional

analysis of the enzyme. More recently, they demonstrated ACAT1 as a

potential target for treating several human diseases, including Alzheimer’s

disease and Niemann-Pick type C disease.

Raine Verar, Mariah Danica Velasco, Leah Vicente, Carmella Villanueva,

and Beatrice Villespin are senior nursing students from the University of

Santo Tomas, College of Nursing in the Philippines. They have studied

gerontology and geriatric nursing in the oldest Catholic University in Asia.

They were supervised and guided by Mr. Dennis S. Cuadra, a professor

who is a Master’s degree holder in nursing. He specializes in adult health

nursing and is currently teaching in the prestigious Catholic University of

the Philippines. Their Mancala/Sungka wooden board game research

intervention is a non-pharmacologic and cost-effective intervention, that

aims to delay the onset of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease and reduce

cognitive decline among elderly people. The researchers incorporated the

study into a structured routine program in order to promote socialization,

exercise, and stimulate the cognitive function among the elderlies.

Shaymaa Abdulmalek has received her PhD in Alexandria University, Egypt 2017.

Currently, she is working as a lecturer of biochemistry in Alexandria University, Egypt.

Her research has included molecular therapy of alzheimer’s disease,

neuroinflammation, cell signaling and the biochemical parameters in diseases.

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Health Promotion,

University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health. My

background in communication and community engagement serves as an

overarching theme to my academic research which incorporates my belief

that people armed with knowledge are in the best position to address the

public health issues that impact them. The lived experiences of those most

impacted by an issue hold vital information that can be used to shape our

efforts to address public health issues. Academics and health professionals

hold one key to understanding; those most impacted by the issue hold

another. Both keys are needed to improve the factors impacting health,

including the environment.

Dr Banani’s is an Italian Researcher in Neurology. She spent significant

periods of time in scientific training at US Institutions. In the course of the

last 10 years, Laura Bonanni has devoted her research interests to the study

of pathophysiological and diagnostic aspects of Dementia with Lewy

Bodies. Dr. Bonanni has developed an EEG signal analysis method which

allows to support the diagnosis of DLB from the very beginning of its

course. For this reason, EEG has been included among the biomarkers in

the Fourth report of the Consensus Conference for the diagnosis of DLB, of

which Dr Bonanni is a co-author. Dr. Bonanni coordinates the Italian

Network on DLB. She is on the executive Steering Group responsible for

direction of the European DLB (E-DLB) Consortium, actively involved in

Social Care Alliance’s Dementia Carer Voices project, conducting frequent

talks to health and social care professionals and carer organisations across

Scotland, to raise awareness of the impact of dementia on families and the

importance of empowering carers in carrying out their difficult but vital

role.
