Aurélie Damet is a permanent faculty member and researcher at Université Paris 1 - Panthéon-Sorbonne, specializing in Ancient Greek history with a particular focus on family structures, kinship systems, and social policies in classical Athens. She is affiliated with the ANHIMA research center where she contributes to programs on 'Greek and Hellenistic Law' and 'Family and Kinship in the Greek World,' serving as editor for the latter. Her scholarly work demonstrates deep engagement with both historical and anthropological approaches to ancient societies. Dr. Damet's research interests span multiple interconnected domains, with particular emphasis on Family and Kinship in Ancient Greece, History of Family Law, Violence and Feelings in the Greek Family, History of Solitude, Eugenics practices, and Public Policies in Ancient Greece. Her work consistently examines how family structures intersected with political systems, legal frameworks, and social norms in classical Greek society, with special attention to Spartan social organization. She has developed sophisticated analyses of how gender, power, and citizenship operated within ancient family units. Her publications reveal a trajectory of increasingly sophisticated analysis of ancient Greek family systems, moving from her doctoral work on family conflicts in classical Athens to broader examinations of eugenic practices, solitude, and public policy frameworks. The scholarly output shows consistent methodological rigor, drawing from both literary sources and anthropological theory to reconstruct the complex social realities of ancient Greek families. Her recent work has expanded to include public-facing scholarship through contributions to National Geographic publications, demonstrating her commitment to making academic research accessible. Among her notable achievements is the Sophau Prize received in 2010 for her book 'The Seventh Gate. Family Conflicts in Classical Athens,' which was based on her doctoral thesis. She has served on the reading committee for the journal 'Cahiers Mondes Anciens' and has co-edited significant scholarly collections including 'Family Policies in the Ancient Worlds' (2018) and 'Cursing and speaking badly: threatening words in ancient Greece' (2014). Dr. Damet maintains an active scholarly presence through regular conference presentations, including invited talks at institutions like the École du Louvre and participation in academic seminars at Paris 1. Her work bridges traditional philological approaches with contemporary anthropological and gender studies frameworks, offering fresh perspectives on ancient Greek social structures. She has developed particular expertise in analyzing how legal frameworks shaped family life and how family dynamics influenced broader political structures in ancient Greek city-states.

Karen O'Malley is a Professor of Neuroscience at Washington University School of Medicine. She leads the O'Malley laboratory which focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Dr. O'Malley received her BA with Honors from California State University of Sonoma in 1971, followed by an MS in Biology from Portland State University in 1973. She completed her PhD in Biological Sciences at the University of Texas in Austin in 1980. Her research primarily investigates signal transduction pathways mediated by metabotropic glutamate receptors such as mGluR5, which are widely expressed throughout the CNS and play critical roles in neuronal excitability, brain development, and learning and memory. Notably, her lab discovered that these receptors are not only expressed on the cell surface but also on nuclear membranes where they mediate unique signaling systems associated with synaptic plasticity. The lab has also maintained a longstanding interest in dopamine receptor structure and function, having been among the first to isolate D2-like genes (D2, D3, and D4) and demonstrate their unique signaling functions. Analysis of Dr. O'Malley's recent publications reveals a consistent focus on intracellular receptor signaling, particularly the role of metabotropic glutamate receptors in synaptic plasticity, neurological disorders, and pain pathways. Her work spans molecular neuroscience, cellular signaling, and translational research with implications for understanding and treating neurological conditions. Career Research Award for Women, National Science Foundation (1987) Stanley Foundation Investigator, National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (1989-1991) NARSAD Established Investigator Award (1995) Recognition for Excellence in Mentoring (2004) Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award (2005) First Annual AWN Service Award (2006) Outstanding Faculty Postdoctoral Mentor Award (2007) Distinguished Educator Postdoctoral Research Mentoring (2010) Physician and Scientist Leadership Certification (2012) Washington University School of Medicine Alumni Distinguished Faculty Award (2013) Dr. O'Malley has been recognized extensively for her mentoring excellence, receiving multiple awards for faculty mentoring at both the undergraduate and postdoctoral levels. Her laboratory has received consistent funding to support research on receptor signaling mechanisms and their implications for neurological disorders. The O'Malley lab employs advanced techniques including CRISPR to create transgenic animal models for studying receptor function in vivo. The O'Malley laboratory maintains a strong research program investigating the molecular and cellular bases of neurological disorders. The lab has developed specialized transgenic animal models, including lines expressing mGluR5 only on the cell surface and others expressing it only on the nucleus, to test the specific roles of intracellular mGluR5 in vivo. Current research directions include studying variable tandem repeats in the D4 gene associated with ADHD, ASD, and schizophrenia using humanized mouse models.
