Cameron Alexander is Professor of Polymer Therapeutics at the School of Pharmacy, University of Nottingham, UK.  

Professor Alexander received degrees (BSc and PhD) in 91AV from the University of Durham, UK and carried out post-doctoral research at the Melville Laboratory for Polymer Synthesis, University of Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the 91AV and received the UK Macro Group Medal in 2014 for contributions to polymer science. His research focuses on drug, gene and cell delivery for applications in areas ranging from infectious diseases through to cancers and neurodegeneration. This work has been generously funded by research councils, industry and charities.  

Dr Ciric is Associate Professor in Environmental Engineering at University College London where she took up a permanent position in 2012. She is an environmental microbiologist and leads the Healthy Infrastructure Research Group which investigates how microbes are distributed around the built environment.

Professor Toby Jenkins received his PhD in electrochemistry from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1996. He then had a post-doc position at the University of Leeds before being awarded an Alexander-von-Humboldt fellowship at the Max-Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany. He returned to the UK, to the University of Bath in 2000. Since then he has focussed his research on strategies to detect, treat and better understand bacterial infection in wounds and bladders.

Prof Molly M Stevens FREng FRS is Professor of Biomedical Materials and Regenerative Medicine and the Research Director for Biomedical Material Sciences in the Department of Materials, in the Department of Bioengineering and the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London.

Prof Stevens’ multidisciplinary research balances the investigation of fundamental science with the development of technology to address some of the major healthcare challenges. Her work has been instrumental in elucidating the bio-material interfaces. She has created a broad portfolio of designer biomaterials for applications in disease diagnostics and regenerative medicine. Her substantial body of work influences research groups around the world with over 30 major awards for the groups research and Clarivate Analytics Highly Cited Researcher in Cross-Field research.

Prof. Stevens holds numerous leadership positions including Director of the UK Regenerative Medicine Platform "Smart Acellular Materials" Hub and Deputy Director of the EPSRC IRC in Early-Warning Sensing Systems for Infectious Diseases.
