Mr. Kazi Morshed Alom is currently a PhD student at the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. He completed a MS in Chemistry from Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju, South Korea, and a BSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh. His research interests include, but are not limited to, biosensing technology, mRNA therapeutics, synthetic biology, bioorganic chemistry, etc.
Alison Rodger obtained a BSc, PhD, and DSc from Sydney University, an MA from Oxford, a DSc from Warwick, and a BA from Chester. She is currently the Director of the Research School of Chemistry at the Australian National University. She was a Beatrice Dale Fellow at Newnham College Cambridge for three years from 1985 while also an Overseas Scholar of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. When she worked at the University of Warwick, she was the founding director of the Molecular Organisation and Assembly in Cells Doctoral Training Centre funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and also Head of the Department of Chemistry. She was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 2021. Her main research focuses on developing and applying spectroscopic techniques to understand the structure and function of biomacromolecules and their assemblies.
Yuling Wang received a PhD degree at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2009. She held a postdoctoral position at Purdue University, working in the Bindely Bioscience Center on the Nanobiotechnology Project. After that, she moved to the University of Osnabrücker in Germany and was awarded a prestigious Alexander von Humboldt fellowship (AvH). She is now a Professor and ARC Future Fellow at Macquarie University. She also serves as a Chief Investigator within the ARC Center of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP) and leads the SERS program for in vitro diagnostics. Her research interests include plasmonic nanostructures for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, biomarker sensing for point-of-care diagnostics, and personalized nanomedicine.
