Tifani Biro
University of Pennsylvania
USA
Dr. Tifani Biro is a postdoctoral researcher and Clark Scholar at Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute and the University of Pennsylvania's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Her focus is translational research on neurodegeneration's impact on the language network in individuals with Alzheimer's Disease. Recognizing the gap between basic and applied research, especially in psycholinguistics, she aims to bridge this divide. Dr. Biro's cross disciplinary training highlights the potential insights from basic research that can enhance our understanding and treatment of speech disorders. Her goal is to incorporate valuable findings into clinical literature, closing the gap between research and practice

Jacques P. Tremblay
Jacques P. Tremblay
Canada
Professor Jacques P. Tremblay has been working on the development of cell and gene therapies for hereditary diseases (mainly Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Friedreich’s ataxia) since 1987. He has published 305 articles in peer-reviewed journals. He is very committed to the clinical application of his research work, as indicated by the conduct, in collaboration with a group of clinicians, of a Phase I clinical trial on 9 Duchenne patients. This trial demonstrated that transplantation onto normal allogeneic myoblasts led to the presence of the normal gene in muscle fibers. He received the award for best researcher in Quebec and the award for best researcher in Canada presented by Muscular Dystrophy Canada for his work on DMD. The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the Canadian Society for Clinical Investigation presented me with the Henry Friesen Award. He is currently using CRISPR/Prime editing technology to correct point mutations in the APP, DMD, RYR1 and NKX6-2 genes.
