	Hadar Ben-Yoav Ben-Gurion University, Negev Israel https://www.benyoav.com
Brief Bio Dr. Ben-Yoav is the head of the Nanobioelectronics Laboratory and an Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering in Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. His research team focuses on interfacing biology with microelectronics. In particular, they study the integration of biological materials (such as DNA, proteins, and cells) with micro- and nano-electronic devices that will harness their unique functionalities for the development of the next generation of personalized health monitoring applications (such as electronic skin patches and implantable sensors that can continuously monitor our health).

	Gad Vatine Ben-Gurion University, Negev Israel
Brief Bio Dr. Vatine received his Ph.D. in 2011 from Tell Aviv University where, he studied the mechanisms underlying light-entrainment of the circadian clock using zebrafish as a model. He followed this with a short postdoc at Bar-Ilan University where he established a zebrafish model for the rare psychomotor disability disorder MCT8-deficiency. Next, he joined the laboratory of Dr. Clive Svendsen at the Regenerative Medicine Institute at Cedars-Sinai where he pioneered the concept of disease modeling at blood-brain barrier (BBB) using patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). In 2017, he became an assistant professor at The Physiology and Cell Biology Department and the Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research Center at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. The Vatine lab generates personalized iPSC-based models to study mechanisms underlying various rare neurological disorders, and to test potential treatments. He is also the director of the BGU-iPS-core facility.

	Janina Bahnemann University of Augsburg Germany
Brief Bio Janina Bahnemann is Full Professor of Life Sciences at the Institute of Physics at the University of Augsburg, Germany, since 2022. She studied Life Science (Bachelor and Master studies) at the Leibniz University Hannover from 2004 to 2009. In 2014, she completed her PhD studies at the Hamburg University of Technology in the Institute of Bioprocess and Biosystems Technology. In 2015, Janina Bahnemann joined the California Institute of Technology (Caltech, USA) as a postdoctoral fellow, where she worked at the Institute for Environmental and Applied Sciences in the group of Prof. Michael Hoffmann. In 2017, she was awarded the competitive Emmy Noether fellowship of the German Research Foundation (DFG). From 2017 to 2022, she headed her independent Emmy Noether junior research group at the Institute of Technical Chemistry, Leibniz University Hannover, and held a substitute professorship at the Faculty of Technology at Bielefeld University from 2021 to 2022. Her research focuses on biotechnology, cell culture and microsystems technology as well as the development of lab-on-a-chip systems and biosensors for biotechnological and medical applications.
