Prof. Eugene Pergament is a President in Northwestern Reproductive Genetics, Inc. and Reprogenetic Research, L.L.C, Chicago. Prof. Pergament is a leading authority on reproductive genetics, prenatal diagnosis, chromosomal disorders, genetic counseling and bioethics. He had been instrumental in the development of chorionic villi sampling, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, clinical application of fluorescent in situ hybridization, genetic screening involving ultrasound measurements of nuchal translucency and biomarkers and noninvasive prenatal genetic testing. He completed B.S from Yale University, New Haven, M.S. and Ph.D. from Purdue University. In 1970 he completed M.D. from University of Chicago, Chicago. Prof. Pergament was awarded by Distinguished Volunteer Chicago Chapter of The March of Dimes in 1984 - 1987. Prof. Eugene Pergament's research interests includes Prenatal diagnosis, Prenatal screening of genetic disorders, Bioethics, Chromosomal disorders and Genetic counseling.

Prof. Hidetsugu Kohzaki is a Professor of Faculty of Nursing at Shumei University, Japan. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher, and currently teaches at the Institute for Virus Research Kyoto University and the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Yamato University. Prof. Kohzaki Graduated from the Department of Molecular Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University in 1999 and he earned his Ph.D. in Medicine from Kyoto University. He received the honor of General Research Award from the Japan Leukemia Research Fund, Young Scientist Award from the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) and The Excellence Research Presentation Award by the Japan Personal Computer Application Technology Society.

Dr. Felice Elefant is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology from Drexel University, Philadelphia. She holds a Doctorate degree in the Department of Biology from the Drexel University. Dr. Elefant's holds NIH Postdoctoral Fellow in Departments of Genetics and Medicine, University of Pennsylvania (1999-2002). She was honoured with Travel grant award, 4th International Conference of the Growth Hormone Research Society, Goteborg, Sweden in 2000 and Mary K Howett Award for undergraduate research, Drexel University in 2016. Dr. Elefant's research interests includes understanding the epigenetic neural gene control mechanisms that govern regulation of higher order brain function via chromatin packaging control in neurons. Impairment of epigenetic gene control mechanisms in the brain involving reduced levels of histone acetylation causes significant cognitive deficits that are a debilitating hallmark of most neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease.

Dr. Mehmet Kocak is an Associate Professor in the Division of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the Department of Preventive Medicine in the College of Medicine at University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center (UTHSC), USA. Dr. Kocak received his M.Sc from Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, and Ph.D. in Applied Statistics from University of Memphis, Memphis, TN, USA. Dr. Mehmet Kocak's research interests include Cell-cycle gene expression data analysis, Time-course profile identification and comparison, Statistical simulations, and Meta-analysis.
