Satoshi Akanuma is a Professor at the Faculty of Human Sciences, Waseda University, where he has been working since 2015. He holds a Doctor of Science degree from Tokyo Institute of Technology and maintains an active research program focused on molecular evolution, ancestral protein reconstruction, and the origins of life. Dr. Akanuma's academic journey includes positions at Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences (2007-2015), University of Cologne (2001-2003), and RIKEN (1998-2001), where he served as a Special Postdoctoral Researcher. His research primarily investigates ancestral sequence reconstruction to understand early life forms and develop thermally stable enzymes for biotechnological applications. His laboratory has made significant contributions to understanding the thermal stability of ancestral proteins, providing experimental evidence that supports the hypothesis that early life forms were thermophilic. Through meticulous reconstruction of ancestral nucleoside diphosphate kinases and ribosomal proteins, his work has demonstrated that these ancient proteins exhibit extreme thermal stability. A major focus involves exploring how reduced amino acid sets might have been used in primordial protein synthesis, with his team successfully reconstructing functional proteins using as few as 10-13 amino acids. Dr. Akanuma's research program shows consistent productivity with 55 papers and 1029 citations according to Scopus (as of August 2025), with his most recent work examining the alkaline habitat of primitive life. His publications span evolutionary biology, protein engineering, and origins of life research, demonstrating interdisciplinary approaches to understanding ancient biological systems. His scientific contributions have been recognized with prestigious awards including the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship (2001), the 2011 JB/OUP Poster Prize, and the Research Encouragement Award at the 15th Enzyme Application Symposium (2014). His work bridges evolutionary biology and practical biotechnology applications, particularly in enzyme engineering for industrial processes. Dr. Akanuma is an active member of numerous professional societies including THE SOCIETY FOR THE STUDY OF THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF LIFE-JAPAN, THE JAPANESE BIOCHEMICAL SOCIETY, and THE MOLECULAR BIOLOGY SOCIETY OF JAPAN, reflecting his interdisciplinary research approach spanning biochemistry, molecular biology, and evolutionary studies.

Zahir Musa Abdal-Kareem is a Research Fellow at the Department 'Integration and Conflict' within the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle/Saale, Germany. His current research project focuses on 'Exclusion Practises in the Context of Immigration in the City of Halle-Saale, Germany' as part of the Challenges of Migration, Integration and Exclusion Research Initiative on Migration of the Max Planck Society. Dr. Abdal-Kareem completed his PhD at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in 2016 through the International Max Planck Research School on Retaliation, Mediation and Punishment (IMPRS-REMEP). His doctoral research employed an interdisciplinary approach combining social anthropology from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology with criminology, international law, legal history, and public law perspectives from other Max Planck Institutes. His research interests span sociological theory, cultural and political anthropology, migration studies, social systems, and processes of integration and conflict. Methodologically, he employs classical ethnographic techniques including participant observation, field notes, and structured interviews to examine how social order and control are negotiated in diverse contexts. His current work investigates exclusion practices among immigrant groups in Halle-Neustadt, challenging the notion that refugees are merely marginalized groups by positioning them as active participants in local social dynamics. Dr. Abdal-Kareem's doctoral research examined group identification and resource conflicts in Gedaref State, Eastern Sudan through fieldwork conducted from 2011-2012. His theoretical approach integrates economic cost-benefit analysis with examination of social structures and cognitive representations, challenging dichotomies between 'resource conflicts' and 'ethnic conflicts.' He demonstrates how groups switch between collective identities and employ exclusion/inclusion strategies based on both rational calculations and prevailing identification logics.
