Felix Campelo
The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Spain
Felix Campelo is a researcher specializing in membrane biophysics, cell biology, and fluorescence microscopy tools to understand intracellular organization. He did his PhD research in theoretical biophysics at the University of Barcelona and Tel Aviv University, developing computational and theoretical methods to study membrane shape and dynamics. In his postdoc at the Malhotra lab (CRG-Center for Genomic Regulation), he shifted to experimental cell biology and biochemistry to explore mechanisms of intracellular trafficking and the cooperation between lipids and proteins in organizing Golgi membranes.
Currently leading the Intracellular Dynamics and Nanoscopy lab at ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Felix and his interdisciplinary lab focus on organelle morphology and dynamics, with a particular interest in intracellular membrane trafficking in the early secretory pathway. They employ advanced microscopy techniques, molecular and cell biology tools, and theoretical biophysics to address fundamental topics in cell biology.

Jonathan A Cooper
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, United States
Jon Cooper is a member of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle and an Affiliate Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Washington. After undergraduate studies at the University of Cambridge and post-graduate research at the University of Warwick, he performed postdoctoral research with Bernard Moss at the NIH and with Tony Hunter at the Salk Institute. With Tony, he found that oncogenic retroviruses (Rous sarcoma virus and others) and growth factors (EGF and PDGF) stimulate the tyrosine phosphorylation of overlapping subsets of cell proteins, which were candidates to regulate cell proliferation and metabolism. He joined Fred Hutch in 1985 to continue the work he started at the Salk, investigating the mechanisms by which protein kinases regulate cell proliferation and transformation. His laboratory played important roles in establishing how Src is regulated, how activated growth factor receptors recruit signaling proteins, and establishing Ras-Raf-MAPK signaling. In 1995, postdoc Brian Howell knocked out the gene for a Src substrate and observed a distinctive brain development phenotype. Efforts by several laboratories rapidly established a signaling pathway that regulates neuron migrations during brain development. Further studies on this pathway revealed the importance of ubiquitination and degradation for terminating signaling, and led in recent years to detailed investigation of the roles of Cullin-RING ligases in regulating signal transduction events in vivo and in cultured cells.

Lynne-Marie Postovit
University of Alberta, Canada
Dr Lynne-Marie Postovit is a Professor and Head of the Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences (DBMS) at Queen’s University. Prior to this she held several endowed chairs in Cancer Research at the University of Alberta. Overall, Dr Postovit’s work has yielded many fundamental discoveries, leading to highly cited papers as well as putative clinical applications. As examples, she is recognized for her work related to the role of NODAL, a stem-cell associated protein, in cancer progression, as well as significant contributions related to extracellular matrices, the role of hypoxia in cancer progression and more recently the role of mRNA translation in cancer cell plasticity. Her discoveries have also provided the foundations for three patents. While focused on fundamental biology related to cancer cell plasticity, Dr Postovit’s research has often been translated to the clinic, for the benefit of patients.
Exemplifying her stature in the field, Dr Postovit has served on the editorial boards of journals and has presented her work at international conferences and institutions around the globe. Dr Postovit’s achievements have also been recognized by invitations to participate on scientific advisory boards, adjudication panels, and planning committees. For instance, she was a member of the Standing Committee on Research Excellence [Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI)], the Scientific Advisory Board for the Cancer Research Society, the AACR Regional Advisory Subcommittee of Canada, and the Medical Review panel (Gairdner Foundation). These boards decided the outcomes of some of the most prestigious awards and grants related to cancer research. Dr Postovit has also received several awards and accolades: For example, she was the top ranked New Investigator at the CIHR (2009) and in 2016, was nominated to the college of the Royal Society of Canada.
Importantly, Dr Postovit has been a dedicated advocate for the research enterprise at large. She was a founding co-director of the Cancer Research Institute of Northern Alberta, wherein she built educational programming and organizational structures to support translational cancer research. More recently she has been building core research capacities at Queen’s, obtaining funds from sources such as the Transformative Educational Research Fund, to establish team based experiential learning opportunities in the health sciences and to ensure equitable access to research infrastructure.

David Ron
Cambridge University, United Kingdom
David Ron is a Professor at Cambridge University. He directs a lab at the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR) studying protein-folding homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The lab uses biochemical, biophysical and cell-based tools to research both the molecular mechanisms that recognize the burden of unfolded proteins and thus initiate signalling in the ER unfolded protein response (UPR) and the downstream effector pathways by which cells adapt to unfolded protein stress in their ER. These effector mechanisms engage post-translational regulation of ER chaperone function, regulated translation of mRNA and transcriptional control of gene expression and thus interface with other cellular stress pathways.
To eLife, David Ron brings scientific expertise in the study of the unfolded protein response, chaperone function and stress-induced regulation of mRNA translation and editorial experience from having served as an eLife Reviewing Editor since 2012.

Richard M White
Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, University of Oxford, United Kingdom
Richard White, M.D., Ph.D, is a physician-scientist at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Cornell Medical College. He is interested in basic mechanisms underlying metastasis, using the zebrafish as a model system. His work has established numerous techniques for cancer modeling and high-resolution imaging in the fish. Using these tools, the lab is focused on the cross-talk between tumor cells and the microenvironment, and how this interplay influences metastatic success. His work has revealed novel interactions between melanoma cells and adipocytes in the microenvironment, and how neural crest programs play roles in melanoma progression.
