Gerry McElvaney
Professor of Medicine, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences
Professor McElvaney has a strong track record in translational research and has published widely in the areas of cystic fibrosis (CF), alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), infection, immunity, and lung inflammation. Under his directorship the Respiratory Research Division has attracted national and international funding, including grants from the Health Research Board, Science Foundation Ireland, The Higher Education Authority, The CF Association of Ireland, and the US Alpha-1 Foundation. His unit has a well-established track record in research into CF and AATD and their work on lung defenses has led to interactions with pharmaceutical companies interested in translational research. For example in 1999 Beaumont Hospital was the first site worldwide for intravenous administration of transgenic alpha 1-antitrypsin to individuals with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. 2004 saw the first Phase 1 study in Beaumont Hospital of Lomucin, a medication developed to block abnormal mucin production from bronchial epithelium. This work arose directly from research carried out in the Respiratory Research Division. In 2001 Professor McElvaney founded the Alpha One Foundation of Ireland. Subsequently he received funding from the Department of Health and Children to establish the first targeted detection programme for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in Europe. This genetic condition is associated with risk for lung, liver and skin problems, and Professor McElvaney has been carrying out research into AATD for over 20 years.

Gijsbert Stoet
Reader in Psychology, University of Glasgow
My research interests are broad, and are strongly influenced by my education in Cognitive Psychology at the Max-Planck-Institute for Psychological Research and subsequent neurobiological research at the Medical School of Washington University in St.Louis. My current research is best described as a mix of Cognitive (they of thinking, attention, perception, action, memory, etc), Differential (studying differences between individuals), and Educational Psychology (the psychology of learning processes). I am particularly interested in gender differences in thought and behaviour, the psychology of learning, as well as in meta-cognitive processes, such attention and executive control.
One of my aims is to understand and reduce performance gaps between boys and girls in school. For example, in international surveys, British boys fall behind in reading skills, and British girls in mathematics (this is the case in most countries). More research is necessary to be able to reduce these fairly persistent gaps, which limit children's career opportunities. This research is a good example of combining Differential and Cognitive Psychology.
In the past, I have gained much experience with a wide variety of extremely different laboratory measurement techniques (see my publications below). Currently, I use behavioral measures from my own lab as well as "secondary data", in particular those from the Programme for International Student Assessment (the largest international test of school children with millions of data points). The main academic aim of this research is to understand variation in human attitudes and cognition. The practical aim is to improve learning and education.
Most of my past and present research has been funded with grants from the ESRC, NIH, German Science Foundation (DFG), Max-Planck-Society, James S. McDonnell Foundation, British Academy, and Nuffield Foundation, and I would like to thank the funding organisations and collaborators for their support.

Giles Oldroyd
Professor of Crop Science, University of Cambridge
My research focuses on understanding the signalling and developmental processes in plants that allow interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, that facilitate the capture of nutrients from the environment. My mission is to eradicate the need for inorganic fertilisers in agriculture, through the use of these beneficial microbial associations. We aim to achieve this through optimising the use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi that form associations with most crop plants and through the transfer of the nitrogen-fixing association to the many crop plants that lack this association. Greater use of these beneficial microbial associations in agriculture has much potential for enhancing the sustainability of agriculture in high and middle-income countries and providing sustainable productivity for farmers in low-income countries.

Après son intégration au CNRS, il a été le directeur du Programme Interdisciplinaire de recherché sur l’environnement de la Seine (PIREN-Seine). Ses recherches ont été alors centrées sur le développement d’outils de modélisation permettant de faire le lien entre l’activité humaine dans les bassins versant et la qualité de l’eau dans les réseaux hydrographiques, principalement sur la Seine mais aussi sur l’Escaut, la Moselle, la Loire, le Danube, le Fleuve Rouge (Nord Vietnam) et la Nam Kahn (Laos), dans le cadre de plusieurs programmes européens et de coopération.
Plus récemment, le champ de ses travaux s’est élargi à l’étude des relations entre la demande alimentaire urbaine et l’agriculture des territoires qui les nourrissent, avec l’introduction du concept de foodprint et de bassin alimentaire. L’élaboration de scénarios alternatifs de relocalisation de l’approvisionnement alimentaire des villes et de conversion de l’agriculture à des modes de production plus respectueux de l’environnement est au cœur de ses recherches actuelles.
