Jose Ramon Bayascas Ramirez is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona's Institute of Neuroscience. With a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the University of Barcelona (1998), he completed postdoctoral training at the University of Lleida (1998-2002) and University of Dundee, Scotland (2002-2007) before joining UAB in 2007 as a Ramon y Cajal Fellow, becoming a Serra Húnter Associate Professor in 2014. His research focuses on the neurodevelopmental functions of the $$\text{PDK1}$$ signaling network and its implications for neurodegenerative and mental illnesses. His laboratory specializes in the $$\text{PI3K}$$/$$\text{Akt}$$ signaling pathway, utilizing brain-specific conditional knock-in mice with engineered $$\text{PDK1}$$ mutations (K465E and L155E) to study how these affect neuronal development and disease processes. The K465E mutation selectively impairs $$\text{Akt}$$ activation, while the L155E mutation abolishes activation of most $$\text{PDK1}$$ effectors except $$\text{Akt}$$. His work has revealed that reduced $$\text{Akt}$$ activation in $$\text{PDK1}$$ K465E mice protects against neurodegenerative insults, while the exclusive $$\text{Akt}$$ activation in $$\text{PDK1}$$ L155E mice causes severe mental disorders resembling human schizophrenia. His recent publications span molecular insights into $$\text{PDK1}$$ structure, behavioral studies in Alzheimer's models, and investigations into lysine crotonylation and metabolic homeostasis. His research has been recognized with a Ramon y Cajal Fellowship, and he has led multiple research projects including: "Assaig de l'inhibidor d'$$\text{Akt}$$ MK-2206 pel tractament de la Malaltia d'Alzheimer" (2022-2023) "Implicació de la ruta de senyalització $$\text{PI3K}$$/$$\text{PDK1}$$/$$\text{Akt}$$ en la Malaltia d'Alzheimer" (2019-2022) "Participació de $$\text{PDK1}$$ en les respostes a $$\text{PI3K}$$ durant el desenvolupament neuronal" (2015-2018) His group has published 53 research outputs with significant citations, demonstrating impactful contributions to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying brain pathology and potential therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative and mental disorders.

Allison Altman Singles serves as an Associate Professor of Kinesiology and Mechanical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University, specifically at the Penn State Berks campus. Her dual appointment spans the College of Engineering and College of Health and Human Development, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of her work at the intersection of biomechanics, engineering, and human movement science. Dr. Singles holds a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Rochester, followed by both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomechanics and Movement Sciences from the University of Delaware's Running Research Laboratory. She completed her postdoctoral training in Orthopaedics and Bioengineering at the McKay Orthopaedic Research Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on the mechanical consequences of gait and functional movement on bone and the musculoskeletal system. One major branch investigates the effect of impact loading during running on bone injury, utilizing gait analysis techniques to map 3D body motion and estimate forces on the body during activity. These forces serve as inputs for computational models derived from clinical CT images to estimate forces experienced by bone tissue. Another significant research line examines how bone pathology and disease affect functional movement, using advanced bone imaging techniques to visualize tissue and estimate responses to everyday activities. Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on practical biomechanics applications, particularly examining how running with a stroller alters running form and impacts injury risk. Her research shows that stroller running reduces impact force by 16% (potentially decreasing risks of shin splints, runner's knee, and stress fractures) but increases torsion by 36% (potentially increasing lower leg stress fracture risk). Dr. Singles co-founded the Biomechanics and Gait Evaluation Laboratory (BaGEL) at Penn State Berks with Joseph Mahoney, where they employ high-speed motion capture technology and force plates to study running mechanics. The lab's work combines engineering principles with kinesiology to address real-world movement challenges. Her research has practical implications for runners, particularly parents who run with strollers, and contributes to broader understanding of how mechanical loading affects bone health and injury risk. Future research directions include studying how hills and uneven terrain affect stroller running mechanics and exploring alternative stroller designs that might allow for more natural running form.
