Jack Goodman M.D. Sc.M. is an incoming internal medicine resident at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. He attended Hamilton College, where he majored in chemistry and participated in a variety of research from creating scaffolds for drug synthesis to using nanoparticles to overcome antibiotic resistance. After Hamilton, he interned at Vertex Pharmaceuticals before earning his master’s in biochemistry from Johns Hopkins. While at Hopkins, he was in the Leung lab working on a high-throughput screening tool to identify drugs to target all alphaviruses and coronaviruses. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, he modified his work to look specifically at the novel virus and was ultimately published in ACS Chemical Biology. He then began medical school at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine where he began the Genomics and Personalized Medicine interest group and an accompanying bioinformatics research group. His work from this group has been presented at many national conferences including Cold Spring Harbor, the American Heart Association, and the American Society of Clinical Oncologists, where it also received an award. 

Yosif Ganat Ph.D. is a neuroscience research investigator currently developing PROteolysis-TArgeted Chimeras (PROTAC) technology at Arvinas for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. He earned his bachelor's degree from Cornell University, finished a neuroscience post-baccalaureate program at Yale School of Medicine, and attained his doctorate in neuroscience from the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences. From 2004 to 2015, at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Dr. Ganat established enhanced methods of axonal integration of midbrain dopamine neurons (mDA), developed an RNA sequencing profile for purified mDA neurons from human embryonic stem cells for cell replacement therapy in Parkinson's disease, and determined in vivo the optimal stage for said replacement therapy. From 2015 to 2019, at the New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute, Dr. Ganat devised a protocol for the automated production of mDA and cortical neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells. Also, Dr. Ganat has founded The Stem Cell Podcast, which is the official podcast of the International Society for Stem Cell Research.
