Soraya L. Valles are working as assistant professor in Department of
Physiology, School of Medicine, and University of Valencia, Spain.
Specialization: Biochemical and Molecular Biology.
Research Interests: 1) Discovery of novel pharmaceutical products that can
be developed to novel drugs in particular anticancer and Alzheimer’s
disease. 2) Discover the pathways produced by the drugs in both illness.
Elucidating and understanding the mechanisms of action.
Mourad Tayebi is Associate Professor in Biomedical Sciences at the School
of Medicine, Western Sydney University, AUSTRALIA. Dr. Tayebi is an
international expert in the field of PROTEIN MISFOLDING DISEASES,
with specific focus on investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying
pathogenic protein misfolding and characterizing the misfoldome associated
with these disorders. Dr. Tayebi’s team is very active in the development of

TY Chang and Cathy Chang are a husband/wife team, and share the same
laboratory, with TY as the PI and Cathy as the co-PI, at Geisel School of
Medicine at Dartmouth. They have been working on cholesterol
metabolism research for more than four decades. The Changes and their
colleagues did ground breaking work by identifying the gene that encodes
the cholesterol storage enzyme acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase 1
(ACAT1/SOAT1). Subsequently, they performed extensive functional
analysis of the enzyme. More recently, they demonstrated ACAT1 as a
potential target for treating several human diseases, including Alzheimer’s
disease and Niemann-Pick type C disease.

Raine Verar, Mariah Danica Velasco, Leah Vicente, Carmella Villanueva,
and Beatrice Villespin are senior nursing students from the University of
Santo Tomas, College of Nursing in the Philippines. They have studied
gerontology and geriatric nursing in the oldest Catholic University in Asia.
They were supervised and guided by Mr. Dennis S. Cuadra, a professor
who is a Master’s degree holder in nursing. He specializes in adult health
nursing and is currently teaching in the prestigious Catholic University of
the Philippines. Their Mancala/Sungka wooden board game research
intervention is a non-pharmacologic and cost-effective intervention, that
aims to delay the onset of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease and reduce
cognitive decline among elderly people. The researchers incorporated the
study into a structured routine program in order to promote socialization,
exercise, and stimulate the cognitive function among the elderlies.
Shaymaa Abdulmalek has received her PhD in Alexandria University, Egypt 2017.
Currently, she is working as a lecturer of biochemistry in Alexandria University, Egypt.
Her research has included molecular therapy of alzheimer’s disease,
neuroinflammation, cell signaling and the biochemical parameters in diseases.
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Health Promotion,
University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health. My
background in communication and community engagement serves as an
overarching theme to my academic research which incorporates my belief
that people armed with knowledge are in the best position to address the
public health issues that impact them. The lived experiences of those most
impacted by an issue hold vital information that can be used to shape our
efforts to address public health issues. Academics and health professionals
hold one key to understanding; those most impacted by the issue hold
another. Both keys are needed to improve the factors impacting health,
including the environment.

Dr Banani’s is an Italian Researcher in Neurology. She spent significant
periods of time in scientific training at US Institutions. In the course of the
last 10 years, Laura Bonanni has devoted her research interests to the study
of pathophysiological and diagnostic aspects of Dementia with Lewy
Bodies. Dr. Bonanni has developed an EEG signal analysis method which
allows to support the diagnosis of DLB from the very beginning of its
course. For this reason, EEG has been included among the biomarkers in
the Fourth report of the Consensus Conference for the diagnosis of DLB, of
which Dr Bonanni is a co-author. Dr. Bonanni coordinates the Italian
Network on DLB. She is on the executive Steering Group responsible for
direction of the European DLB (E-DLB) Consortium, actively involved in

Social Care Alliance’s Dementia Carer Voices project, conducting frequent
talks to health and social care professionals and carer organisations across
Scotland, to raise awareness of the impact of dementia on families and the
importance of empowering carers in carrying out their difficult but vital
role.
