Mohamed Jemaà: Lund University-Sweden
Mohamed Jemaà obtained his PhD in 2012 from the University of Paris 11 within the Guido Kroemer Laboratory. He performed several Pos.doc and worked on cell death, mitotic catastrophe, genomic instability, migration and invasion. Mohamed is being internationally recognized as an expert in the field of genomic instability, and in particular in the identification of antineoplastic strategies based on chromosomal instability. Actually Mohamed is Post.doc in Medicon Village Lund University in Sweden. Dr Jemaà has published more than 40 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals (current H-index: 19) (especially EMBO, Cell Death Differ, Oncotarget, PNAS, Cell Cycle, etc…). (Research Profile)

Walid Elfalleh: University of Gabes, Gabes-Tunisia
Walid obtained his Ph.D. in 2012 from the University of Tunis El Manar, FST. He works as an assistant professor at ISSAT Gabes. During his Ph.D., he conducted his research projects as a member of Arid and Oases Cropping Laboratory, IRA, Medenine. His Ph.D. was done in the framework of a collaborative project between Tunisia and China. He visited the School of Food Science and Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology for one year (2009) as a senior scholar and a second year to conduct a post-doctoral project in 2012. After this postdoctoral experience, research equipment worth 150,000 Yuan was donated to Walid by The Ministry of Science and Technology of China (MOST) through the China-Africa Science and Technology Partnership Program (CASTEP).

Chamseddine Kifagi: Technical University of Denmark, Copenhagen-Denmark
Chamseddine KIFAGI graduate from the University of Sfax and the University of Montpellier with a “co-tutelle” PhD in biological and health sciences in 2012. He was a postdoctoral researcher from May 2012 to February 2015 at “Oncogenesis and Immunotherapy” (Piechaczyk group) at the “Institut de Génétique Moléculaire de Montpellier” IGMM (France). His postdoctoral project concerns the study of the transcriptomic and epigenetic involvement of ROS/SUMO axis in the drug sensitivity in AML (acute leukemia amyloid). He was recruited from April 2015 at the Clinical Genetics department at BMC_Lund University (Sweden) as postdoctoral researcher to study the genetic and epigenetic of MLL_leukemias.

Myriam Fezai: Eberhard-Karls-Universität/ Universität-Klinikum Tübingen, Germany
Myriam Fezai’s research focus is the electrophysiology of ion transport in physiology and pathophysiology. She's been wroking on biophysics, trafficking, and molecular regulation of ion channels and transporters. Myriam is graduated with her Ph.D. from Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen in Germany in March 2018. Her PhD projct was carried out at the Institute of Physiology I, Faculty of Medicine. Her PhD project is a pure electrophysiology characterization and regulation of ions transport in (SLC family Na+/co-transporters and K+ Channels). With previous experience in triggering erythrocytes´ apoptosis via Ca2+ pathway. Myriam performed her Master´s research project at Pasteur Institute of Tunis, in biochemistry and pharmacology of neurotoxins. She graduated a Bachelor of Life Sciences (Maitrise) from the Faculty of Sciences of Bizerte, University of Carthage, Tunisia​.  ​(Research Profile)

Radhouene Doggui: National Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology of Tunis -Tunisia
Radhouene Doggui obtained his Ph.D. in 2016 from the University of Carthage. He has realized his thesis in the Nutrition Surveillance and Epidemiology in Tunisia Research Laboratory at the National Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology of Tunisia (INNTA). His thesis was on the evaluation of nutritional iodine status of school-age children in Tunisia and the prevalence of related pathologies (Iodine Deficiency Disorders). Currently, Radhouene is Post.doc in the same laboratory and he is working on the trace elements status of Tunisian population and on the consumption of both Palm oil and hydrogenated fats in Tunisia. He has an expertise in the area of clinical chemistry and biochemistry (protocol realization, analytical and statistical method validation) (Research Profile)
