- Jay Chung MD, PhD, at the National Institutes of Health, an endocrinologist-researcher who is studying the areas of energy production and metabolic biomarkers;
- Mercedes Rincon, PhD, and David Maughan, PhD, and their excellent interdisciplinary teams of clinical collaborators at the University of Vermont who are looking at post translational modifications, biomarkers and autoimmunity; and
- Sheila Stewart, PhD, at Washington University in St Louis, who is researching the microenvironment control in the modulation of the immune response and other projects...
