Clemens Grabher, PhD
Clemens is a Junior Group Leader at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe, Germany. His current research focuses on the investigation of molecular and biophysical characteristics directing immediate wound response in zebrafish. He has published articles in journals such as Nature, Genome Biology, Development and others. Clemens holds a PhD from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany
Eric Green, MD, PhD
Eric is currently a clinical fellow at Harvard Medical School and resident physician at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. He received his MD and PhD at Stanford as a member of the NIH Medical Scientist Training Program. During his PhD work in Chemical and Systems Biology, he discovered a new mechanism for regulation of calcium ion channels and developed novel tools for microscopy and computational analysis in neurons. This work led to publications in Neuron and Cell and earned him the Harold Weintraub Graduate Student Award. Eric is also a co-founder and CEO of Respira Design, which designs and markets devices for the treatment of asthma in the developing world.
