Professor Nick Wareham is the Director of the MRC Epidemiology Unit and co-Director of the Institute of Metabolic Science. He is also the Director of the new national research network Population Health Improvement UK.

His principal research interests are the aetiology and prevention of obesity and diabetes, and he co-leads the Aetiology and Mechanisms of Diabetes and Related Metabolic Disorders of Later Life programme. He is an Honorary Consultant at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge.

Nick was formerly a Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow in Clinical Science in Cambridge. He qualified in medicine from St Thomas’ Hospital Medical School, London, and trained in epidemiology and public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, Harvard University, Boston, USA and at the University of Cambridge. Nick was Chair of the NICE Programme Development Group on the prevention of prediabetes. In 2009 he was a member of the WHO Expert Group on the classification and diagnosis of diabetes.

Dr. Chong He received her PhD in Biochemistry from Peking University. She then conducted the molecular biology of aging research at the Buck Institute in the US, where she successfully discovered ibuprofen, a common over-the-counter drug used to relieve pain and fever, extended the lifespan in lab animals. She is now working at a pharmaceutical company as a lead scientist on several biotherapeutic drug development projects.

Dr Dmitri Konash is a Computer Science PhD and former Intel Corp executive. He is a founder of the blood pressure app BreathNow and @breathnow_app YouTube channel which helps users to lower anxiety and blood pressure with natural tools. Dmitri is an active master athlete and multiple Ironman race finisher.

Associate Professor Jan Gruber is currently an Associate Professor at Yale-NUS. Before his appointment, he was a Senior Research Fellow in the Neurobiology and Ageing Programme at the Centre for Life Sciences (CeLS), National University of Singapore (NUS). From 1995 to 1998, Assoc Prof Gruber studied physics at the RWTH-Aachen University (Germany) before reading Part III of the Mathematical Tripos (MASt) at the University of Cambridge (UK). From 1999 to 2004, Assoc. Prof. Gruber was a graduate student in the Laboratory of Molecular Biophysics, Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University (UK). There, he worked on cell division cycle control, protein-protein interaction characterisation and rational drug design, first obtaining a MSc and later a PhD in molecular biophysics. During his PhD work, he also developed and implemented functionality for ccp4mg, a widely used molecular graphics package (freely available from: www.ccp4mg.ac.uk). ccp4mg enables macromolecular visualisation, scientific illustration and structure-based drug design.In addition to teaching and mentoring students in the laboratory, Assoc Prof Gruber has lectured at NUS since 2007 on free radical biology and medicine, evolutionary and molecular aspects of ageing and clinical biomarker analysis. He has also been involved in teaching students critical evaluation of primary literature. He regularly hosts attachment, visiting, outreach and international project students. In addition to teaching and training students of all levels and from diverse backgrounds, in ageing and general biochemical and laboratory techniques, Assoc Prof Gruber regularly supervises and co-supervises PhD, honours and interdisciplinary attachment students.
