Andrea Pagnani

Andrea Pagnani

I am professor in the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) at Politecnico of Turin, and Principal Investigator of the Statistical Inference and Biological Modeling unit at the Human Genetics Foundation (HuGeF) in Turin. My current research interests are: algorithms for statistical inference, computational biology, combinatorial optimization, and statistical physics of disordered systems.

Andrea De Martino

Andrea De Martino

Andrea De Martino is a research scientist at the Soft & Living Matter Lab at CNR-NANOTEC (Rome) and a visiting scientist at the Institute of Genomic Medicine (Turin). He obtained a PhD in Condensed Matter Theory at SISSA (Trieste), and did post-doctoral work at HMI-Berlin (now the Helmholtz Zentrum) and at Sapienza University in Rome. He has been at Istituto Nazionale per la Fisica della Materia (now part of the National Research Council of Italy) since 2005. He has been an Adjunct Professor at Sapienza University’s Physics Department (2010–2016) and a visiting professor at U-Psud (Orsay, France) in 2013. His work mainly focuses on the regulation of metabolism and gene expression.

Roberto Mulet

Roberto Mulet

I am professor of Theoretical Physics and PI in the Group of Complex Systems and Statistical Mechanics, both at the University of Havana, Cuba. In the last few years my main research interests have been: Statistical Mechanics of Disordered Systems, the modeling of metabolic networks and algorithmic design for interdisciplinary applications.

Alejandro Jose Fendrik

Alejandro Jose Fendrik

I am professor at Instituto de Ciencias of the Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento (Buenos Aires-Argentina) and Researcher of CONICET (Argentina). I have worked on Hamiltonian chaos, quantum chaos and stochastic systems (stochastic resonance and noisy ratchets). My interest is now in the modeling of biological systems. More precisely, the processes of cellular differentiation both during embryonic development and in the renewal of tissues in adults, at the level of cell populations and at the level of the regulatory networks involved in these processes.

Ernesto Rotondo

Ernesto Rotondo

I am physicist, PhD candidate and teaching assistant at Instituto de Ciencias of the Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento (Buenos Aires-Argentina). My current research interests are: modeling of complex biological systems, the processes of cellular differentiation both during embryonic development and in the renewal of tissues in adults, the underlying processes in the cell fate determination and the dynamic regulatory networks involved in these processes.

Marcela Reale

Marcela Reale

I am a math professor and have a PhD in Science and Technology. My thesis was about Transport Phenomena in a Coupled System Ratchets. Currently, I have CONICET Postdoc Grant and am interesting in Complex Systems, Biology and Ecosystem Dynamics such as Transport Phenomena of Polymers and Transport processes on the oceans. I dictate math courses at Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento and at Universidad Nacional de La Matanza, Argentina.

Lilia Romanelli
