Timothy Ryan is a Rockefeller/Sloan-Kettering/Cornell Tri-Institutional Professor in the department of Biochemistry at Weill Cornell Medical College and a Senior fellow at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research Campus. He received his BSc with honors in Physics at McGill University and his PhD in Physics at Cornell University. He carried out postdoctoral work at Stanford University in the department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology. Dr Ryan’s lab has pioneered the development and use of quantitative optical tools to interrogate nerve terminal function. He was an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow, a two-time recipient of the McKnight Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Award, a recipient of the NINDS Javits Award and a recipient of the Siegel Family Award for Outstanding Biomedical Research.

Yishi Jin is a Distinguished Professor in Neurobiology Section, Division of Biological Sciences and Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, the School of Medicine, at the University of California, San Diego. She is the inaugural holder of the Junior Seau Foundation Endowed Chair in Traumatic Brain Injury. She received her BS with honors in Cell Biology at Peking University and her PhD in Molecular Biology at University of California, Berkeley. She carried out postdoctoral work at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr Jin’s lab has pioneered the use of in vivo labeling of synaptic components and employed the powerful genetic analysis in C. elegans to elucidate conserved molecular pathways regulating synapse formation. Her lab has also established C. elegans as a model to interrogate axon response to traumatic injury. She was an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow and a recipient of the NSF-PECASE award and the NINDA Javits Award.
