SPEAKERS
Tommaso Beccari
Tommaso Beccari is a Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Perugia, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Perugia, Italy. Professor Tommaso Beccari has extensive knowledge of lysosomal enzymes, having started his studies at King’s College of London in 1985. His studies have mostly examined the biochemistry and molecular biology of lysosomal enzymes, as well as the pathophysiology of illnesses involving lysosomal storage and other neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease.
Baris Binay
Prof. Dr. Baris Binay graduated from Ankara University, Department of Chemistry in 2002. He completed his master’s degree at Istanbul Technical University, Department of Molecular Biology—Genetics and Biotechnology, in 2005, and the same doctorate program in 2013. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Sabancı University in 2013. He currently works as an academician in the Department of Bioengineering at Gebze Technical University. He continues his research on biotechnology, bioprocessing, recombinant proteins, and enzyme production.
Irina Nakashidze
Dr. Nakashidze worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Universita degli Studi di Perugia (Italy) between 2016 and 2017. She has been working as an academician at Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University (Georgia) since 2018. She continues her work in the fields of genetics and genomics.
Oliver Feeney
Dr Oliver Feeney is a researcher in the Ethics of Genome Editing Research Unit, Institute of Ethics and History of Medicine, University of Tübingen, Germany. His primary research is on ethical, legal, and social (justice) implications of biomedical technologies, particularly the ethics and governance of genome editing; ethics of human enhancement; polarisation and trust in science and medicine, and the ethical and social justice considerations of patents in new gene editing technologies. His PhD in political theory, which focused on genetics and justice, was given to him by the School of Political Science & Sociology at University of Galway, Ireland. The thesis was recognized with the 2009 Basil Chubb Prize.
Jean-Marie Fontmorin
Dr. Fontmorin works as a researcher at the Chemical Engineering Research Center of Toulouse (France). Dr. Fontmorin completed his master’s degree in molecular chemistry at the University of Rennes in 2010 and then completed his doctorate at the Ecole nationale supérieure de chimie de Rennes in 2013. After the Marie Curie program, he has been working as a CNRS researcher since February 2023. He continues his research in the fields of environmental engineering, bioelectrochemical systems, and electrochemical engineering.
