Radovan Komel is Professor of Biochemistry and molecular biology at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana. He pioneered gene technology and initiated medical molecular biology/genetics in Slovenia. He was the founder and head of the Medical Centre for Molecular Biology and coordinated the national research program Functional Genomics and Biotechnology for Health, in 2004 quoted by Slovenian Research Agency among the top programs in the field of life sciences. He published more than 165 publications in international journals including N. Engl. J. Med., Neuron, Am. J. Hum. Genet..., and has activelly supervised 74 PhD and MSc theses. He has extensive experience of the coordination and management of research projects (e.g. ESRD CoE Biotechnoloy with Pharmacy, joining research efforts of 19 partners from academic and health care institutions, S&M entreprises and pharmaceutical industry; 2004-2009), and has organised several international conferences, the last »MolMed 2012« sponsored by EMBO and including a Nobel laureate opening lecture. He has served as member and Chair Person of the ICGEB Council of Scientific Advisers (2007 – 2013). He is President of Slovenian Society for Natural Sciences, and is editor of Proteus, a popular science journal, as well as member of editorial board of Acta Chim. Slov. He is Fellow of several academic societies and has served as reviewer of research projects at Slovenian Research Agency (1992-1996; 2000-2005), European Science Fundation (2001 – 2005), International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (2000-2003), European Research Council (2011), Cancer Research UK (2016) and ERA CoBiotech (2017), and also as reviewer of research papers submitted to a number of international journals. For special achievements in biochemistry and molecular biology he received the Slovenian National Science Award in 1994, First Lapanje Award from Slovenia Biochemical Society in 2008, and The Grand Miroslav Zei Award for Life Work in the Field of the Activities of the National Institute of Biology in 2015. In 2004 he was decorated by French Government ‘Knight in the Order of Academic Palms’.

He is currently working as a leading partner of the international EC Interreg project TRANS-GLIOMA, and also coordinates the drafting of Slovenian legislation concerning biomedicine and human genome.

Rosa Martha Desentis for more than 30 years has been dedicated to research in the science of food, started with fresh tropical fruit studying its conservation, later with probiotic microorganisms, also antioxidant enzymes to form polymers with great antioxidant effect. For 3 years she has been researching GMO, especially seeds, from a bioethical perspective. Most countries seek to follow the same rules of control and prevention for the consumption of foods derived from GMO in order to avoid any risk to human health or the environment. Evaluations should not only start from an economic base, but from the care of the most important capital of humanity, which is the human product and the ecology that sustains it.

Pedro Morouço is a very enthusiastic and provoking early-career researcher. Currently, is the Head of R&D Biofabrication Group at the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable Product Development – Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Portugal. He is the Principal Investigator of “2bio4cartilage – Integrated intervention program for prevention and treatment of cartilage lesions; POCI-01-0145-FEDER-023423 co-financed COMPETE2020 under PT2020 programme, and supported by FEDER”, and his research activity focuses, mostly, on products and processes engineering, aiming to bringing the gap between the lab and in vivo applications. In the last years, he has been invited to collaborate in several national and international projects, providing a significant income for the Biofabrication Group (currently has 8 grant-holders). Despite his young age, he has co-edited books, authored and co-authored more than 200 scientific works, is member of the scientific committees in various conferences, member of the Advisory Board on TERM for Cambridge Scholars Publishing, and editorial member and reviewer of various journals. His work has been presented as a Keynote speaker in Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine 2016 (Manchester, UK), Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine 2016 (Berlin) and 2017 (Barcelona), and International Conference on Advances in Skin, Wound Care and Tissue Science 2017 (Frankfurt). Above all, Pedro is a humble researcher that understand the values of working as a team. Natural leader to reinforce the strengths and bridge weaknesses of his R&D group, developing new ideas and thinking outside the box. Finally, Pedro is aware of the role of science for society awareness. Thus, he developed skills to be able to reach wider audiences (2 awards in the National Science Communications Contests and representative of Portugal in an international event, Winner of The Publishing Method competition by the American Journal Experts, 2017, was distinguished with the New Investigator Award 2014 and Hans Gros Emerging Researcher Award 2017 from ISBS, Prestigious Award 2017 by the Leiria City-hall and named one of the Personalities for 2017 by the regional press).
