Dr. Wassil Nowicky — Dipl. Ing., Dr. techn., DDDr. h. c., Director of “Nowicky Pharma” and President of the Ukrainian Anti-Cancer Institute (Vienna, Austria). Has finished his study at the Radiotechnical Faculty of the Technical University of Lviv (Ukraine) with the end of 1955 with graduation to “Diplomingeniueur” in 1960 which title was nostrificated in Austria in 1975. Dr. Wassil Nowicky became the very first scientist in the development of the anticancer protonic therapy and is the inventor of the preparation against cancer with a selective effect on basis of celandine alkaloids “NSC-631570”. He used the factor that cancer cells are more negative charged than normal cells and invented the Celandine alkaloid with a positive charge thanks to which it accumulates in cancer cells very fast. Author of over 300 scientific articles dedicated to cancer research. Dr. Wassil Nowicky is a real member of the New York Academy of Sciences, member of the European Union for applied immunology and of the American Association for scientific progress, honorary doctor of the Janka Kupala University in Hrodno, doctor “honoris causa” of the Open international university on complex medicine in Colombo, honorary member of the Austrian Society of a name of Albert Schweizer. He has received the award for merits of National guild of pharmacists of America. the award of Austrian Society of sanitary, hygiene and public health services and others.

His research interest focuses on Cancer.

Head of Applied Photochemistry LabMember of the editorial board of ISRN Physical Chemistry Member of the scientific advisory committee for Internet Photochemistry and Photobiology, Anglia Local treasurer of Polish Section of European Photochemistry Association (from 2009) Member of Polish Fulbright Alumni Association (from 1999) Member of British Alumni Association (od 1996).

His research interests focus on spectroscopy and both pure photochemistry and its applications. A special commitment is given to photophysics and electronic structure of biologically important flavins. The expertise of our group in pure photochemistry and photophysics enables us to efficiently study systems of practical importance, including for example beers, edible oils in general and olive oils in particular, kraft pulps, and dental materials. Our group is interested in light resistance of such materials and in usage of modern spectral, photophysical and statistical techniques, developing methods allowing to certify product origin and to monitor the effects of light on their consumer value.

Cody Coyne is a professor of Molecular Pharmacology and Immunology in the Department of Basic Sciences within the College of Veterinary Medicine where he has established a research program devoted to the molecular design, synthesis and potency evaluation of pharmaceuticals. Current research investigations have been devoted to the design of molecular structure, organic chemistry reactions and multi-phase synthesis regimens for covalent immunopharmaceuticals with properties of selective "targeted" delivery and potent anti-neoplastic cytotoxicity. A native of Colorado, Coyne earned a DVM from Colorado State University in Fort Collins; completed a surgery internship, an internal medicine residency, and a PhD graduate degree (radiobiopharmacology design) at the University of California at Davis/Sacramento Medical Center, and attained board certification with diplomate status in the College of Veterinary Internal Medicine while at Kansas State University.

Dr. Feng is an expert in biochemistry and biophysics of metalloproteins. He has authored > 90 scientific manuscripts. He is an active NIH reviewer, and also serves as referee for NSF, AHA, French National Research Agency, and Italian Ministry of Health.

Feng lab is interested in how metal ions play critical structural and functional roles in biological molecules. His primary research focus is on regulation mechanism of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), a flavo-hemoprotein responsible for biosynthesis of nitric oxide (NO), a ubiquitous signaling and effector molecule in mammalian cell biology. A particular strength is the utilization of multidisciplinary approaches, using techniques ranging from biochemical and kinetics to biophysical, to answer specific mechanistic questions. Recent studies of NOS proteins by Dr. Feng suggest that domain motions and interdomain docking play an important role in NOS isoform function by modulating key electron transfer processes. Molecular mechanisms of NOS regulation, once fully understood, are potentially key targets for development of selective new pharmaceuticals for treating a wide range of diseases that currently lack effective treatments.
