Dr. Oliver Ebenhoeh

Oliver Ebenhoeh studied Mathematics and Physics at the University of Heidelberg (Germany), and did his PhD in Theoretical Biophysics at the Humboldt University, Berlin (Germany), where he continued to work as a postdoctoral researcher until 2006. He established his research group 'Systems Biology and Mathematical Modelling' at the Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam (Germany) in 2007. He moved to the University of Aberdeen in 2009 where he was appointed Reader in Systems Biology as a joint position of the Institute for Complex Systems and Mathematical Biology and the Institute of Medical Sciences.

Dr. Yasushi Saka

Yasushi was a graduate student in Mitsuhiro Yanagida’s laboratory in the Biophysics Department of Kyoto University, and his early postdoctoral work was with Professor Jim Smith and centred on the early Xenopus embryogenesis, especially the function of activin, an archetypical morphogen, and its downstream targets.

Dr. Ian Stansfield

Ian Stansfield graduated from the University of Sheffield with a BSc (Hons) Microbiology in 1986. Post-graduate studies, on the subject of cytochrome P450 enzymes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were carried out under the supervision of Prof. Steve Kelly at the University of Sheffield. This work led to the award of a PhD in 1990. His post-doctoral research was carried out with Professor Mick Tuite at the University of Kent from 1990 to 1996. This work focused on studies of protein synthesis in yeast, investigating how the accuracy of protein synthesis is maintained, and the mechanism of translation termination. In 1996, he was appointed a Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen, was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2003, and was made Reader in 2009. He is currently coordinator of the IMS Systems Biology Research Programme.
