Biography

Shivaprasad Bhuvanendran, M.E., has over two decades of combined experience in medical instrumentation and optical imaging. His interests include application of multiphoton microscopy, super-resolution, and other imaging modalities. His current collaborative efforts are focused on employing super-resolution microscopy to probe protein interactions and their nanoscale organization. Using this, he studies interaction and organization of proteins at the mitochondria during viral infections and urea cycle.

Biography

Marshall Hogarth, Ph.D., is a muscle physiologist trained in models of neuromuscular disease and experience in conducting genotype-association studies in human cohorts. His broad interest lies in studying muscle function and genetic diseases that affect skeletal muscles. He studies cellular and tissue deficits associated with dysferlinopathy to understand how their interplay leads to the onset and progression of muscle loss in this disease.

Biography

Prech Uapinyoying, Ph.D., is trained in bench research in muscle biology with expertise in the use of bioinformatics to conduct omics studies. His research focuses on applying data-driven approaches to solve puzzles related to muscle health. He is interested in applying this approach to understand how muscle resident cells coordinate their responses during muscle repair and how it is disrupted in muscular dystrophies.
