Thomas Heinbockel, Ph.D., is a Professor and Interim Chair in the Department of Anatomy, Howard University College of Medicine, Washington, DC. Dr. Heinbockel's laboratory engages in multidisciplinary research to elucidate organizational principles of neural systems in the brain, specifically the limbic and olfactory system. His research has been directed at understanding brain mechanisms of information processing and their relation to neurological

and neuropsychiatric disorders. His laboratory also works on translational projects, specifically, the development of novel anti-epileptic drugs and pharmacotherapeutic treatment options for drug addiction. His laboratory analyzes drug actions at the epi- and genetic level using next-generation sequencing technology. The goal of his studies is to conduct innovative basic and applied research on fundamental biological mechanisms involved in disease conditions (Covid-19, HIV). Dr. Heinbockel studied biology at the Philipps-University, Marburg, Germany. His studies of the brain started during his M.S. thesis work at the Max-Planck-Institute for Behavioral Physiology, Starnberg/Seewiesen, Germany. Subsequently, he completed a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, USA. After graduating, he worked as a Research Associate at the Institute of Physiology, Otto-von-Guericke-University School of Medicine, Magdeburg, Germany. Prior to his arrival at Howard University, Dr. Heinbockel held joint research faculty appointments in the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology and the Department of Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He still maintains an adjunct appointment in these departments.

Dr. Balwant Singh Gendeh is a senior consultant ENT surgeon with sub-specialty interest in rhinology (allergy, sinonasal diseases, endoscopic sinus, anterior and ventral skull base surgery, and functional and cosmetic nasal surgery). He was an ENT registrar at the Royal Infirmary, Middlesbrough, United Kingdom in 1993 and subsequently a JW Fulbright scholar at the University of Pittsburgh, USA in 1997. During his Fulbright experience, he also

worked at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), Philadelphia and St Joseph's Hospital, Chicago, USA with sub-specialty interest in rhinology and aesthetic nasal surgery. Dr. BS Gendeh retired as a consultant ENT surgeon at the National University of Malaysia Medical Center (UKMMC) in 2014, and is presently a Visiting Professor at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at UK-MMC and is a resident ENT consultant at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur since 2014. Due to his vast contribution to the academia in research and clinical publication, he was elected as a Diploma of Fellowship Academy of Medicine Malaysia (FAMM) in October 2000, International Fellow of the American Academy of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery in April 2004, Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (FASc) in April 2016 and as Fellow of Malaysian Scientific Association (FMSA) in September 2017. He has written 94 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals with more than 470 citations, HI of 13 and editor of 8 books and 7 book chapters.
