Zoltan Machaty is an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences, Purdue University, USA.He received his Ph.D in Reproductive Physiology, Szent Istvan University,Gödöllő, Hungary. He has successfully completed his administrative responsibilities as Senior Scientist at Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The overall objective of his research program is to improve reproductive efficiency in domestic animals by understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate early embryonic development. The primary goal is to define the signal transduction mechanisms and identify key signaling molecules that are involved in oocyte activation during fertilization. Reproducing the events associated with fertilization is critical in a number of assisted reproductive technologies including nuclear transfer. Because nuclear transfer is currently the only technique available for the production of farm animals with targeted genetic modifications, major efforts are directed towards developing methods that would allow superior embryo development after nuclear transfer.

Kuang received Ph.D. in Physiology and Cell Biology from University of Alberta, Canada. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at Purdue University and a member of Purdue University Center for Cancer Research. His research concerns stem cells in the adult muscles that are commonly known as satellite cells. He has identified a small population of re-populating cells within the satellite cell niche. His research challenges the conventional view of satellite cells by demonstrating their hierarchical composition and asymmetric self-renewal, and has implications in the development of therapeutic treatment of degenerative muscle diseases and ageing-related muscle wasting. Dr. Kuang has published 40 peer-reviewed journal papers, including papers in Cell, Cell Stem Cell and Nature. His research is funded by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (2008-2011), the United States Department of Agriculture (2009-2012), and the National Institute of Health (2010-2015; 2011-2016).

Shihuan Kuang research interest in Cellular and molecular biology, and physiology. He identified during his postdoctoral research the role of Pax3 and Pax7 transcription factors in muscle stem cells, and discovered that asymmetric cell fate determination underlies the cellular heterogeneity in the muscle stem cell niche. As an independent investigator, ongoing research in his lab investigates the molecular mechanisms regulating self-renewal and differentiation of skeletal muscle resident stem cells, and explores the potentials of stem cell-based therapies in the treatment of degenerative diseases. Dr.Kuang has extensive experience in transgenic mice and will support animal related work proposed in this project.

Yinduo Ji is an Associate Professor of microbiology at the University of Minnesota, USA. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention in 1993 and did his postdoctoral training at the University of Minnesota Medical School from 1994 -1997. Then, he joined in the GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Research & Development, USA, and performed basicanti-infective drug discovery. Since 2002, he has joined the Department of Veterinary Biomedical Science at the University of Minnesota as a faculty member; his research focuses on the functional genomics, molecular and cellular pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus, and antibacterial drug discovery.

Yinduo Ji\\\\\\\'s laboratory is interested in the functional genomics and molecular pathogenesis of a serious human and animal pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus, and antibacterial drug discovery. Specifically, we focus on different two-component signal transduction regulatory systems and several functional unknown essential proteins. Current efforts include determination of function of critical unknown genes and regulons for bacterial growth, multidrug resistance and pathogenesis, and identification of host cell signaling pathways associated with pathogenicity during host-pathogen interaction. These efforts will provide new insight into the molecular and cellular mechanisms of pathogenicity, as well as may deliver unexploited targets for developing potent preventive and/or therapeutic agents against this life-threatening pathogen, including MSSA and MRSA, and benefit public health. In addition, we are actively involved in the identification of novel antibacterial agents by screening chemical compound library. Molecular genetic, antisense RNA, advanced next-generation RNA-seq and ChIP-seq technologies, genomics, proteomics, cell culture, bioluminescence assays, immunochemical, and sophisticated imaging methods are used in these studies.
