Dr. Rob Young is a tenure track lecturer at the Zhejiang University – University of Edinburgh Institute and at Edinburgh University’s Usher Institute. He obtained his DPhil from the University of Oxford in 2012 and carried out postdoctoral research at the MRC Human Genetics Unit, MRC IGMM at the University of Edinburgh. His research integrates genomics and population-wide datasets to understand how variation outside gene borders within the noncoding genome drives complex phenotypes and disease. He has a particular focus on promoters, which are noncoding regulatory loci responsible for regulating gene expression initiation and which are significantly enriched for phenotype-associated variants. He has also identified that promoters experience pervasive evolutionary volatility and is interested in what this rewiring can tell us about how variation across individuals, populations and species arises and is regulated.

Dr. Richard Sloan is a tenure track lecturer at the Zhejiang University - University of Edinburgh Institute and at the University of Edinburgh. Richard obtained his PhD degree from University College London (UCL) in 2007 and then undertook postdoctoral research at the McGill University AIDS Centre in Montreal. He started his own lab at Barts and The London School of Medicine in 2013, before moving up to Edinburgh University to continue his research in the Division of Infection and Pathway Medicine. His research is in the field of intracellular innate immunity and seeks to understand how retroviruses such as HIV can be controlled by innate immune factors. More recently, he has also become interested in how endogenous retroelements in the human genome, such as LINE-1, may be similarly controlled by innate immune factors as occurs with infectious retroviruses like HIV. Collectively, this research may pave the way for new forms of antiviral therapy, provide molecular understanding of immunity and host cell biology, as well as explain patterns of patient disease susceptibility or retroviral zoonosis.

Buzz studied Biochemistry at the University of Oxford and obtained his PhD studying the cell division cycle with Paul Nurse at CRUK's London Research Institute. In 1997, as a postdoctoral researcher, he joined Norbert Perrimon’s lab at Harvard Medical School, where he explored the control of cell shape and polarity in flies and in fly cells in culture using RNAi screening. Buzz returned to London in 2001 to establish his own group focused on understanding the mechanics, regulation and role of cell shape changes during cell division, development, and tumorigenesis. Then, in 2014, after proposing the “inside-out model" with his cousin David Baum as a possible explanation for the origin of eukaryotic cell organisation, the realisation that many of the core machines involved in eukaryote cell shape control were likely inherited from archaea led his team to shift its focus to questions of deep evolution. In 2020 he moved to the MRC-LMB in Cambridge, where his team is using archaea as model systems in which to identify and characterise conserved molecular and cellular processes that underpin eukaryotic cell biology in the hope of shedding new light on our evolutionary origins - putting the ‘inside-out model of eukaryogenesis” to the test.

Following a post-doctoral period studying haematopoiesis at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (Melbourne), he moved to Cambridge in 1991 as a Wellcome Trust Clinical Senior Fellow and Honorary Consultant Haematologist. He was appointed Professor of Haemato-oncology in the University of Cambridge in 1999, served as Head of the University Department of Haematology from 2000-2020, and served as Director of the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute from 2016 until 2022.
His early research explored the transcriptional control of normal blood stem cells and more recently the mechanisms by which such stem cells are subverted to cause haematological malignancies, using the myeloproliferative neoplasms as a tractable model. In work which spans basic, translational and clinical research he identified key causal mutations, described their biological consequences, led practice-changing clinical studies and discovered basic mechanisms of broad relevance for both cancer biology and cytokine signalling.
Tony has held multiple academic, clinical and educational leadership roles, both nationally and internationally, has been appointed to visiting professorships at several universities, was elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (2001) and President of the European Haematology Association (2015-2017). Recent awards include the Jean Bernard Award by the European Haematology Association (2020) and the Donald Metcalf award by the International Society for Experimental Hematology (2021).

Yang Yumeng is a Ph. D. Candidate at the International Research Center of Information Science and Electronics Engineering, Zhejiang University. In 2020, she graduated from the College of Information Science and Electronic Engineering of Zhejiang University. Since 2020, she has been engaged in the research of metamaterials, plasmons, topological electromagnetics, etc. She won the freshman scholarship in 2020 and participated in national key research and development plans many times.Based on the exotic properties and extensive applications of the parity-time symmetry, she proposed a radiative anti-parity-time plasmonic design, and demonstrated space-wave manipulation, which extends the research and application of anti-parity-time symmetry from guided-wave to space-wave systems. The relevant research has been formally accepted by Nature Communications recently.
