Ramana V Davuluri
Professor, Northwestern University Chicago, IL, USA
Dr. Ramana obtained his Ph.D. from Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, Statistics in 1996. Currently, he is working as a Professor of Preventive Medicine - Health and Biomedical Informatics Northwestern University - Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA. His Research in the lab focuses on developing data-mining algorithms and informatics solutions for problems in biology and medicine. The overarching goal of the lab is to translate Big Data from high dimensional (comic) platforms (e.g., NextGen sequencing) to derive experimentally interpretable and testable discovery models towards genomics-based clinical decision support systems for personalized cancer therapy. They are developing clinically useful diagnostic tools for identification of subsets of brain tumor patients who may benefit from therapeutic intervention and guide the understanding of drug activity in patient tumors. Towards these goals, they apply a combination of state-of-the-art statistically rigorous data-mining methods and NextGen sequencing based experimental procedures in a systems biology setting.

ImrulMosaddek Ahmed
Senior Scientist, Bangladesh Agricultural ResearchInstitute
I was started my service at Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute as Scientific officer on 1st February 2005 and promoted to Senior Scientific Officer in early 2014. I have completed PhD (Molecular stress physiology, Field of research: Combined stress of drought and salinity), from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, P.R. China in 2013, M Sc Ag (Agronomy) in 2004 from Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Most of my research is focusing on barley in the tolerance to combined stress of salinity and drought. During the last 5 years, special attention is given to physiological, biochemical and molecular studies of K+ uptake and Na+/K+ ratio, reactive oxygen species metabolism, osmocompatible solutes, ATPase, carbohydrate and secondary metabolism and stress specific proteins. I have also done 2-DE experiment and identified four stress related proteins like SAM3, BSA1, TRXM, and TUFA and then find out the specific mechanism of those proteins to cultivated genotype and check their expression and monitor their effects against combined stress of drought and salinity via VIGS gene silencing technique. I like to work independently and/or as part of a larger team, and have good oral and written communication and interpersonal skills. I have attended and contributed in seminars and conferences in different place of China. I have about 45 publications as research articles/book chapters/poster/booklet etc. in national (without peer review process) and international (publications with SCI Index) levels. At present, I have about 73.32 impact point research article. In addition, I have reviewed significant number of research article from different SCI and academic journal, and this task is continuing in regular basis.
