Amir Horowitz

 
Amir Horowitz, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Oncological Sciences
Precision Immunology Institute/ Tisch Cancer Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

 

Dr. Amir Horowitz is an Assistant Professor of Oncological Sciences and a member of the Precision Immunology Institute and the Tisch Cancer Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Horowitz’s work has contributed to developing an understanding of adaptive natural killer (NK) cells and their roles in cancers, microbial infections, and following vaccination and transplantation. He pioneered the first studies of human NK cells by mass cytometry (CyTOF™) and demonstrated an enormous breadth of phenotypic diversity and functions associated with specific HLA class I and KIR backgrounds.

 

Mateusz Koptyra, Ph.D.
Lab Director
Center for Data Driven Discovery in Biomedicine, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute
 
 
Dr. Mateusz Koptyra is Associate Technical Director at  Genomic Diagnostic Laboratory in the Center for Data Driven Discoveries in Biomedicine at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He received his MS from University of Warsaw in Poland and conducted research at Temple University in Philadelphia before completing his PhD in Medical Biology at the Medical University of Warsaw. Dr. Koptyra’s work focuses on development of tumor models and molecular stratification of pediatric brain tumors with special emphasis on non-invasive diagnostics biomarker discovery

 

Davide Ruggero

 
Davide Ruggero, Ph.D.
Helen Diller Family Chair in Basic Cancer Research, UCSF
Professor, Department of Urology, UCSF
 

 

Dr. Davide Ruggero is a professor at the University of California San Francisco in the departments of Urology and Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology. Dr. Ruggero’s current research seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms by which impairments in mRNA translation, cell growth and overall protein synthesis rates lead to human disease and cancer. The implications of his research results can be applied to design a new generation of cancer therapeutic agents that modulate the cellular proteome at a post-genomic level. Dr. Ruggero has received noteworthy funding and prestigious awards in recognition of his groundbreaking cancer research.
