Dr. Dariusz Plewczynski is a professor at University of Warsaw in Center of New Technologies Ce NT, Warsaw, Poland, the head of Laboratory of Functional and Structural Genomics and the principal investigator at Mathematics and Information Science Department at Warsaw University of Technology. His interests are focused on functional and structural genomics. Functional genomics attempts to make use of the vast wealth of data produced by high-throughput genomics projects, such as the structural genomics consortia, Human genome project, 1000 Genomes Project, ENCODE, and many others. The major tools that are used in this interdisciplinary research endeavor include statistical data analysis (GWAS studies, clustering, machine learning), genomic variation analysis using diverse data sources (karyotyping, confocal microscopy, a CGH microarrays, next generation sequencing: both whole genome and whole exome), bioinformatics (protein sequence analysis, protein structure prediction), and finally biophysics (polymer theory and simulations) and genomics (epigenetics, genome domains, three dimensional structure analysis of chromatin). He is presently involved in several Big Data informatics projects at Faculty of Mathematics and Information Sciences at Warsaw University of Technology, biological experiments at the Centre of New Technologies at University of Warsaw (his second affiliation), collaborating closely with The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (an international partner of the TEAM project), and The Centre for Innovative Research at Medical University of Bialystok (UMB). He was actively participating in two largeconsortia projects, namely 1000 Genomes Project (NIH) by bioinformatics analysis of genomic data from a CGH arrays and NGS (next generation sequencing, deep coverage) experiments for structural variants (SV) identification; and biophysical modeling of chromatin three-dimensional conformation inside human cells using Hi C and Ch IA-PET techniques within the 4D Nucleome project funded by the NIH in the USA. His goal is to combine the SV data with three-dimensional cell nucleus structure for better understanding of normal genomic variation among human populations, the natural selection process during human evolution, mammalian cell differentiation, and finally the origin, pathways, progression, and development of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Debotosh Bhattacharjee is working as a full professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Jadavpur University, with nineteen years of post-Ph D experience. His research interests pertain to the applications of machine learning techniques for Face Recognition, Gait Analysis, Hand Geometry Recognition, and Diagnostic Image Analysis. He has authored or co-authored more than 280 journals and conference publications, including several book chapters in Biometrics and Medical Image Processing.  Two US patents have been granted on his works. Prof. Bhattacharjee has been granted sponsored projects by the Govt. of India funding agencies like the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Department of Electronics and Information Technology (Deit Y), University Grants Commission (UGC) with a total amount of around INR 2 Crore.
