Cell Movement in Health and Disease

Dr. Michael Schnoor received his master’s degree in chemistry from the Institute of Biochemistry, Westphalian Wilhelms University, Münster, Germany and PhD in Biochemistry from the same institution. His post-doc studies with emphasis on immunology and mucosal inflammation was developed at the Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA. He currently Principal Investigator at the Department for Molecular Biomedicine, Center for Investigation and Advanced Studies, Mexico City, Mexico. His research evolves around inflammation, actin, and actin-binding molecules, endothelial cell contact stability and leukocyte transmigration. Dr. Schnoor has published over 50 articles in peer-review journals and presented in conferences around the world. For his research he received awards from the American Society for Investigative Pathology and is funded by sources both in Germany and Mexico. Dr. Leimiao Yin is currently Professor at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, China. He is Guest Associate Editor for the Cell Adhesion and Migration special issue from Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology. He has published over 40 research articles in international peer-review journals. Sean Sun is a vice-chair and professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Whiting School of Engineering and at the Physical Science-Oncology Center under INBT. His research improves on current knowledge of cell motility, molecular motors, proteins and membranes, statistical mechanics, and theoretical biomechanics, and biophysics. Dr. Sun was a 2017 inductee as an AIMBE Fellow, for outstanding contributions to our quantitative understanding of cell mechanics, cell motility and force generation mechanisms in live cells. He received his BS from Penn State in 1994 and PhD in theoretical chemistry from the University of California, Berkley, in 1998.
