Felix Scholkmann, PhD is a lecturer at the University of Zurich and the head of a research group at the Biomedical Optics Research Laboratory (Dept. of Neonatology) of the University Hospital Zurich, University of Zurich in Switzerland, and at the University of Bern in Switzerland. His research primarily focuses on neurophotonics and biomedical signal processing, as well as integrative neuroscience and physiology. He has authored or co-authored over 150 research papers, book chapters, and reviews.
Joseph C. LaManna, PhD is The Jeannette M. and Joseph S. Silber Professor for the Study of Brain Sciences in the Department of Physiology & Biophysics at Case Western Reserve University. He has been a member of ISOTT since 1974 and served as Past President of the Society (2009). He is the Series Editor of the ISOTT Proceedings. He has been involved in cerebrovascular research for 40 years. His research is concerned with brain metabolism, energy and cerebral blood flow, angiogenesis and neurodegeneration. The role of these mechanisms in tissue response to pathological insults (stroke, cardiac arrest and resuscitation, hypoxia) is being actively investigated. His recent research has centered on ketones, cerebral angiogenesis and the role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 in physiological adaptation to hypoxia, neuroprotection and ischemic preconditioning. He has authored or co-authored over 200 research papers and review chapters.
