Mauro Salvi received his B.S. degree in Biology (1998) and Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry and Biophysics (2002) from the University of Padova, Italy. Mauro Salvi joined the faculty at the University of Padova in 1996 as Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2015. His current research projects are all addressed to work out phosphorylation-based regulatory mechanisms in different signal transduction pathways studying the kinase (function, regulation, partners etc.) and the target protein substrate/s (physiological role of phosphorylation) with a combination of in silico, in vitro and in cell experimental approaches.

Dr. Anket Sharma is currently working as post-doctoral scientist at State Key Laboratory of Subtropical Silviculture, Zhejiang A&F University, China. Before joining as post- doctoral scientist, he worked as assistant professor at DAV University, Jalandhar, India. He completed his M.Phil. and Ph.D. from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, India. He was also a DST-INSPIRE Fellow from Department of Science & Technology, Government of India. He has authored 67 articles in journals and 14 chapters in books of international repute.

Professor Hubing Shi received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Tsinghua University in 2007 and continued postdoctoral research at the University of California at Los Angeles from 2008-2015. He joined the State Key Laboratory of Biotherapy as professor in China in 2015. His research interests focus on discovery of the acquired resistance mechanisms in targeted therapy and development of novel combinatorial regimens with state-of-the-art treatment in clinics.

Dr. Zhao received his bachelor's degree and PhD from Wuhan University and Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2005 and 2011, respectively. Since 2011, he has been a faculty member as a lecturer (2011-2013), associate professor (2013-2019) in Liaoning University, China. Currently, he is a professor in the College of Computer Science, Shenyang Aerospace University, China. In recent years, he has published 41 SCI journal papers in the fields of computational biology, bioinformatics, nonlinear dynamics and systems biology. He is associate editor of Frontiers in Microbiology, and editorial board member of Scientific Reports and PLOS ONE.

Dr. Timothy Veenstra received his PhD in biochemistry from the University of Windsor in Canada followed by completion of a post-doctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. It was at the Mayo Clinic that he recognized the value of applying mass spectrometry (MS) to biomedical research. He has spent most of his career in research, utilizing MS in the fields of oncology and neurology to identify biomarkers for disease detection as well as identifying protein interactions key to disease progression. He has co-authored almost 400 peer-reviewed manuscripts and is the author of the book “Proteomic Applications in Cancer Detection and Discovery”.

Dr. Wei Wang is a Professor at the Henan Agricultural University (HAU) and a Principal Investigator of the State Laboratory of Wheat and Maize Crop Science, China. He received a PhD from the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1995. He did his Postdoctoral studies at CSIC (Spain, 1999-2001) and University of Siena (2002-2006), where he began his work on crop genomic and proteomic works. In 2006, he moved to HAU, where he was promoted to Full Professor and then distinguished Professor in Henan province. His research focuses on maize omics and improvement. Besides, he is a member of the editorial board at Frontiers in Plant Science (Associate Editor), PLOS ONE (Academic Editor), and Acta Physiologiae Plantarum (Associate Editor).
