Dr Permal Deo has a background in Molecular Biology with a focus on advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), and food safety. His Masters was obtained from The University of Queensland, Australia where his research focused on food mycotoxins.  He graduated with a PhD from Queen’s University-Belfast, UK, where he researched on the role of advanced glycation endproducts on AGE-receptors, NF-kB, and pro-inflammatory cytokines. He joined the University of South Australia in 2010, after working at The University of the South Pacific, Fiji Islands. He is also a Visiting Scientist at CSIRO focusing on the molecular mechanism linking diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr Deo’s research focuses on AGE-induced receptors (RAGE), and activation of downstream signalling mechanisms including MAP kinase and NF-kB pathways. The impact of AGE on cell cytotoxicity, DNA –damage, and on Telomere dynamics are also explored.  His research examines the role of natural products on AGE-induced signaling cascade as an alternative therapeutic approach. The role of these products with high antioxidant activities and/or their potential anti-inflammatory activities enables better insight on the mechanism in preventing or delaying the onset of chronic diseases. One of his interests is to study the role and functions of Australian Medicinal and Native Food plants in these signaling cascades.
From food safety perspective, his research focuses on antimicrobial properties of plant based novel peptides. The research also examines microbial analysis using molecular techniques of food and environmental samples.

I am a marine ecologist, Australian Research Council Future Fellow, and . My research spans marine and fisheries ecology, geochemistry, and animal biology with outcomes that support conservation, sustainable seafood production and food security. Everything I do is underpinned by my mission to ensure science is communicated to the media and public.
If like to know more about what I do, or have an opportunity to work together, please get in touch or check out my social media profiles (Twitter @Zoe_Doubleday, Instagram @drzoedoubleday) and lab website (www.marislab.org).
See below for more details about my research program:
- Over the past 10 years, I have used chemical fingerprints locked within the hard mineralised tissues of marine animals to understand how they move around, where they come from, and how the environment changes around them.
- More recently, I have applied my skills in marine ecology and geochemistry to the area of seafood provenance. By tracking the provenance of seafood, we can help combat seafood fraud and illegal fishing that is reducing the sustainability of our fisheries and their ability produce protein for millions of people.
- I have over 10 years experience working with octopus and other cephalopods to support their conservation and management. My lab group is currently working on several cephalopod projects, with a focus on sustainable fisheries and ecology.
- I investigate how to boost the readability and readership of what scientists write, particularly peer-reviewed publications. My goal is to not only boost public engagement in science, but support the next generation of STEM professionals to communicate with impact.

I am fascinated by humans. That fascination has led me to become a physiotherapist, then a neuroscientist, a pain scientist and a science educator. After working as a physiotherapist for seven years, I combined my clinical work with research - a PhD at the University of Sydney Pain Management Research Institute and research positions at the University of Queensland, University of Sydney and Oxford University, UK. My official qualifications are: DSc, PhD, FAAHMS, FACP, HonFFPMANZCA, HonMAPA, BAppSc(Phty)(Hons). In 2020, I was made an Officer of the Order of Australia, for "distinguished service to medical research and science communication, to education, to the study of pain and its management, and to physiotherapy, to humanity at large."
I was appointed University of South Australia's Inaugural Chair in Physiotherapy, and Professor of Clinical Neurosciences, in 2011 and was honoured to be appointed a Bradley Distinguished Professor in 2021.
I have been supported by NHMRC Fellowship/Investigator funding since my return to Australia in 2009.
I am the Chair of PainAdelaide Stakeholders' Consortium, which brings together Adelaide's pain researchers, clinicians and consumers to 'put our heads together' for persistent pain. I established and lead the non-profit grassroots movement called Pain Revolution, which is committed to a bold but realistic vision that all Australians will have access to the knowledge, skills and local support to prevent and overcome persistent pain. Our annual Flagship Event is the Pain Revolution Rural Outreach Tour. Our awareness and fund-raising challenge 'Go the Distance!' encourages pepole to walk, run or ride to meet their own personal challenge, raising awareness of the problem of persistent pain and the possibilities that are emerging with each new scientific discovery. Our ongoing capacity-building programs - Local Pain Educator Program and Local Pain Collectives Project, aim to (i) embed in rural and regional communities the capacity to prevent and overcome persistent pain, and (ii) develop local pain networks to provide sustainable capacity. Learn about Pain Revolution here: painrevolution.org.
I led the establishment of UniSA's Innovation, Implementation & Clinical Translation in Health ('IIMPACT in Health') and was Director from inception until 2023. IIMPACT has grown to about 100 researchers, publishing over 500 scientific articles a year, with a research income of about $2m a year. The research in IIMPACT centres around taking a truly 'biopsychosocial' to a range of significant health conditions, and the primary role that allied health professionals play in discovery and treatment. Central to IIMPACT has been an 'innovation to implementation' approach, led by clinical and consumer needs, with both playing important roles in every phase of the research journey.
I lead the Body in Mind Research Group within IIMPACT. This research group investigates the role of the brain and mind in chronic pain. Pain is a huge problem - it affects 20% of the population and costs western societies about as much as diabetes and cancer combined.  We have a major public engagement and education focus, with our articles and videos attracting over 13 million reads/views, including being on repeat in hospitals and community health centres in several countries. Body in Mind, or 'BIM', research is supported by MRFF and NHMRC Grants and industry funding, and many BIMsters have NHMRC scholarship or fellowship support. We have eight nationalities and several disciplines represented.
For those of you keen on 'metrics', my main metrics are: Total number of papers - about 400; Google scholar H-index - 95; Average Field-weighted citation index - 1.9 - 2.6 in the fields in which I am most active; competitive grant funding - about $22 million over 20 years.
I supervise PhD students and host post-doctoral fellows for between 1 - 3 years. Expressions of interest in joining our group should be directed in the first instance to [email protected]. We have many such expressions of interest each year so it is best to make contact at least 12 months in advance.
I co-developed, with David Moen and Sam Chisolm, a consumer facing resource called Tame the Beast - go to tamethebeast.org.
I established bodyinmind.org in 2009 and was Chief Editor until we handed it to the IASP.  This library of over 900 blog posts is now hosted on their consumer/clinician facing website called RELIEF. You can visit that library here: https://relief.news/relief-to-provide-body-in-mind-content-as-a-free-resource/
Pain revolution is revamping our website, but until then you can find some factsheets you can download and print in a range of languages here: https://www.painrevolution.org/factsheets
I have authored or co-authored several books. You can find them here: https://www.noigroup.com/shop/
Please note that I receive royalties for these books. I have no financial interest in the publisher noigroup.com. I do however, have relevant disclosures - in the last five years, I have received support from the following entities: Reality Health, Kaiser Permanente, ConnectHealth UK, workers compensation agencies in Australia and abroad, AIA Australia, Arsenal Football Club, the International Olympic Committee. Professional and scientific bodies have reimbursed me for travel costs related to presentation of research on pain at scientific conferences/symposia. 
I am on the Board of Pain Australia.
I live and work on Kaurna Country.

Dr. Owens has wide and varied background in chemistry both via study and from hands on experience. His doctorate in Physical Chemistry (Polymers) was conferred in 1996. This completed several years of part-time study while working simultaneously in a range of jobs including laboratory technician (Dept. Chemistry), senior demonstrator and tutor (Dept. Chemistry), analytical chemist (Centre for Groundwater Studies), research officer (Dept. Community Medicine) and three years as a private tutor of undergraduate chemistry. In 2001 Gary joined CSIRO Land and Water and worked successfully for many years on a variety of projects before moving to the University of South Australia in 2003 as a founding member of the Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation (CERAR).
Dr Gary Owens has been involved in research into environmental chemistry since 2001. In that time he has worked successfully on a number of widely diverse projects touching all facets of that field. This has included 1) studies into the effectiveness of phytoremediation, 2) bioaccumulation and transfer of heavy metals from biosolid amended soils to plants and aphids, 3) degradation of low molecular weight chelates, 4) reclaimed water use on the Northern Adelaide Plains, 5) evaluation of the free ion activity model, 6) beneficial recycling of used foundry sands, 7) effect of NO2 on the incidence of asthma in residents of Port Adelaide and 8) the development of several new analytical techniques, mainly utilizing capillary electrophoresis, for the speciation of metal and organic compounds. In recent years Dr Owens has become more involved in the development of novel remediation techniques, most notably for the in situ immobilization of arsenic contaminated soils and the development of in situ remediation regimes to reduce lead exposure to children.
From January 2003 until January 2013 Dr Owens was employed through the Centre for Environmental Risk Assessment and Remediation (CERAR) where his main role was as an environmental chemist/toxicologist/engineer, with specific attention directed towards, development of new techniques for the determination of metal bioavailability in environmental matrices and to develop novel and practical, cost effective in-situ and ex-situ remediation techniques for contaminated environments. He played a key role in the training of postgraduate students and assistsed in the negotiation of external contracts and completesed complex consultancies on contaminant residues in environmental samples.
In 2007 Dr Owens became the inaugural Program Director for the Masters of Applied Science (Environmnetal Risk Assessment and Remediation) which focuses on providing specialist training within the areas of environmental risk assessment, site assessment and contaminated site remediation. The program develops strong technical competencies together with the detailed knowledge required to assess and characterize contaminant risk, model the behaviour and transport of toxicants and practically implement contaminated site remediation. The program sets the benchmark qualifications for graduates wishing to pursue careers in environmental remediation. In January 2013 Dr Owens was invited to move to the Mawson Institute to commence an ARC Future Fellowship examining “The role of engineered nanoparticles in the transport of environmental contaminants and the implications for remediation”, which is a multidisciplinary project conducted at the interface between material and environmental science.
Dr Owens is currently a Foundation Fellow in the Future Industries Institute (FII) where he leads the Environmental Contaminants Group (ECG) on a number of diverse projects, touching all facets of environmental science and engineering, but primarily concerned with contaminant dynamics in terrestrial environments.

Jaap Vos has a passion for strengthening local rural economies, protecting agriculture and helping rural areas retain their unique identity. His research focuses on finding ways to maintain rural communities’ distinct character while also embracing that Idaho is one of the fastest growing states in the nation.
Vos believes that understanding change is more relevant than understanding growth. Past census data shows Idaho is one of the nation’s fastest-growing states. Looking deeper, Vos says, at who Idahoans are now, what they want and how they live, will provide valuable insight into how areas are changing, what residents need and how to shape communities to reflect local values.
In the classroom, Vos inspires students with courses on community planning, sustainable communities and rural planning issues. He’s also the founding co-chair of APA Idaho's Ag Chat, a group of planners and stakeholders who tackle emerging planning issues in rural communities.

Ryan Long spends his summers in Gorongosa National Park in Africa’s Mozambique. There, you will find him chasing after the region’s antelopes and elephants, as he explores how the varied ecosystems within the park influence its large mammal community.
Long was instrumental in studying the elephants of the region, which are some of the world’s most elegant examples of human-induced evolution. Poachers battered the local herds during a civil war, and Ryan and his research partners found that the spate of violence led to the evolution of tusklessness in female elephants. The number of female elephants without tusks tripled in the park following the war.
When he's not in Africa, Ryan does research in Idaho on the region's bighorn sheep and elk.
