Dr. Khammash is Professor of Control Theory and Systems Biology in the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) at ETH-Zurich. He works at the interface of control theory, systems biology, and synthetic biology. His lab develops novel theoretical and computational methods for the modeling, simulation, analysis, and control of biological networks, with applications to systems and synthetic biology. Prof. Khammash's group has pioneered the development of the field of Cybergenetics in synthetic biology, where they have been developing foundational theory,...Read more
Dr. Megan Levings is a Professor in the Department of Surgery and School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of British Columbia and BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute. Her lab studies how a special kind of white blood cell, known as a T regulatory cell, could be used as a cellular therapy to stop harmful immune responses. She leads a vibrant group of trainees and staff who are researching how to use T regulatory cells to replace conventional immunosuppression in the context of transplantation and autoimmunity. She has won numerous awards, including the Canadian Society for...Read more
