Claire Allan is a Research Fellow in Microbiology at La Trobe University's School of Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology & Pharmacology. She is a cell molecular biologist specializing in mitochondrial function, calcium signaling, and cellular stress in neurodegenerative and chronic diseases, with particular focus on Parkinson's Disease, FXTAS, and ME/CFS. Her research interests center on identifying biomarkers and therapeutic targets for these conditions. Dr. Allan's work has contributed to key discoveries including mitochondrial hyperactivity in Parkinson's Disease and metabolic dysfunction in ME/CFS. She has secured major funding from the MJ Fox Foundation and The Mason Foundation for her research on diagnostic blood tests for ME/CFS. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on mitochondrial dysfunction across multiple disease models, particularly using lymphoblasts as cellular models for studying ME/CFS, Parkinson's Disease, and FXTAS. Her work consistently explores the intersection of cellular metabolism, signaling pathways (particularly AMPK and TORC1), and disease pathology. Scientific Recognition: Major funding from the MJ Fox Foundation for Parkinson's research The Mason Foundation ME/CFS Research Grant (2023-2027) for developing diagnostic blood tests Dr. Allan is actively involved in developing a potential blood-based biomarker for ME/CFS which could transform diagnosis and treatment for thousands of patients. Her current funded research project 'Diagnostic blood tests for ME/CFS (and Long COVID)' runs from January 2024 to January 2027. She utilizes various model systems including Dictyostelium discoideum to investigate cellular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative and chronic diseases.

Håkan Nilsson is a Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor at the Department of Psychology, Uppsala University, specializing in Perception and Cognition. His research focuses on cognitive psychology, decision making, and probability judgment with significant contributions to understanding human reasoning under uncertainty. His primary research interests include: Cognitive biases in probability judgment, particularly the conjunction fallacy How people interpret odds in sports betting contexts Mathematical modeling of decision processes (configural weighted average model) The relationship between numerical ability and decision quality Development of debiasing techniques for probabilistic reasoning Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent focus on understanding probability judgment mechanisms. His work demonstrates that even numerically skilled individuals remain susceptible to decision paradoxes, suggesting deep-rooted cognitive processes. Notable research areas include how betting odds are converted to probability estimates and why combo bets appear more attractive despite lower probabilities. His scientific contributions encompass: Development of the configural weighted average model for probability judgment Studies on the relationship between numerical ability and susceptibility to decision paradoxes Research on the cognitive substrate of subjective probability Exploration of how monetary incentives affect probability assessment Nilsson has maintained extensive collaborations with Peter Juslin, Anders Winman, and Patric Andersson. His work appears in leading journals including Psychological Review, Journal of Experimental Psychology, and Cognition, demonstrating significant impact in cognitive and decision sciences.
