Foojan Mehrdana serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences within the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, specializing in the Parasitology and Aquatic Pathobiology research group. Based at Dyrlægevej 10 in Frederiksberg, their work bridges veterinary medicine and marine ecosystem health through molecular parasitology. Research focuses on anisakid nematodes ( Anisakis simplex , Contracaecum osculatum ) in Baltic Sea ecosystems, examining host-parasite interactions in cod and grey seals through molecular techniques and zebrafish inflammation models. Key interests include immunomodulatory effects of nematode excretory-secretory products, IgE-mediated cross-reactions in allergenic responses, and antimicrobial peptide therapies for fish pathogens like Yersinia ruckeri . Their methodology integrates histopathology, molecular barcoding, and live imaging of immune responses. Recent publications demonstrate expertise in parasite transmission dynamics (2020), immunopathological mechanisms (2021), and comparative treatment efficacy (2017). Collaborative networks prominently feature K. Buchmann's research group with extensive co-authorship on nematode pathobiology. Advising activities and grant funding details remain unspecified in available materials, though their position within the Parasitology and Aquatic Pathobiology group suggests involvement in departmental research initiatives. The laboratory environment emphasizes translational approaches connecting aquatic parasitology with veterinary clinical applications.

Ngong Kodiah Beyeh serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry within Oakland University's College of Arts and Sciences. Based in the Mathematics and Science Center (Room 205), Dr. Beyeh leads an active research program at the intersection of supramolecular chemistry, materials science, and biotechnology. Research interests focus on functional materials via receptor chemistry , halogen-bonded architectures , and molecular recognition systems . Key projects include designing macrocycles for biomedical applications against antibiotic-resistant pathogens, developing asphaltene dispersants for petroleum processing, and engineering halogen-bonded polymeric materials. The research integrates synthetic chemistry with biophysical characterization across gas, solution, and solid phases. Recent publications reveal strong trends in supramolecular biomaterials (2021-2024), with significant work on halogen bonding (2015-2021) and foundational host-guest chemistry (2008-2018). The portfolio demonstrates consistent innovation in macrocycle design for applications spanning biotechnology, petroleum science, and advanced materials. Education includes a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry (2008) and M.Sc. in NanoScience (2004) from the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, and a B.Sc. in Chemistry (2000) from the University of Buea, Cameroon. Postdoctoral training spans Finland (Academy of Finland Postdoc, 2012-2015), Germany (Free University of Berlin), and the USA (University of Texas at Austin). The Beyeh Lab maintains active research in supramolecular materials science, with current projects targeting Gram-negative pathogens, asphaltene dispersants, and halogen-bonded polymeric systems. The laboratory leverages multiple weak interactions to construct complex chemical systems with applications in biotechnology and industrial processes.
