MD PhD Stanislav Semenov is Leading researcher of the Research Institute for Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Diseases (Kemerovo, Russia). His experience in MRI and CT for over 20 years. From 1998 to 2009 he worked in status head of Radiology and then (from 2009 to 2014) as head of the Scientific Diagnostics department. Interest on cerebral venous discirculation is evident in almost all his works since 1997, after coming to radiologist from neurosurgeon. Under his leadership, a scientific school was formed in this field and 8 doctoral dissertations were defended. In 2003 on I International Stroke Association Congress (Moscow, Russia) he was awarded Diploma I degree, many times participated in congresses of European society of neuroradiology (ESNR) and radiology (ECR). He is author more than 150 publications (including 18 Web of Science or Scopus). Dr. Stanislav Semenov is author of capture “Color duplex scanning and transcranial doppler with obstructive disorders of cerebral venous circulation” of the book “Ultrasonic Doppler diagnostics in the clinic” 2004 [in Russian], co-author of the National (Russian) Leadership “Radiologic diagnostics and therapy of head and neck” 2013, author of the monography “Radilogical diagnostics of venous ischemic stroke” which will be published soon.

Professor Tadeusz Malinski, Ph.D.; Dr.h.c.m. is the Marvin & Ann Dilley White Chair and Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Sciences at Ohio University. His research is interdisciplinary in the areas of biochemistry, biotechnology, nanomedicine. He was first in the world to measure, with nanosensors, nitric oxide concentration in single cells and neurons. His ground-breaking discovery of the regulatory role of nitric oxide in the beating heart and the mechanism of dysfunction of nitric oxide synthase are historical contributions to world science. The dysfunction of nitric oxide synthase is a common denominator of several diseases of modern civilization heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, aging, obesity and stroke. Professor Malinski’s work appears in nearly 400 publications. He has received approximately 35 Awards and Distinctions among others: International Academy of Cardiology Aaward, Maria Curie Award in Biochemistry, and the Grand Gold Medal in Medicine from the Society of Arts, Sciences and Lettres.

Marco Picichè (MD, Ph.D.) graduated with a degree in medicine from the University of Florence in 1995 and completed his cardiac surgery residency at the Tor Vergata University of Rome in 2000, both summa cum laude. He held regular teaching appointments at the university of Montpellier school of medicine, obtained certification by the French Board in cardiac surgery (Paris, 2007), earned his research master in surgical science (Paris, 2007), and received a university diploma in vascular surgery (Paris, 2007). In May 2009 he had the honor of opening the 44th Congress of the European Society for Surgical Research with a lecture on ‘‘The history of surgical research.’’ In September 2011 he received a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) in therapeutic innovations from Paris-Sud University. He is the Editor in Chief of the book : « Dawn and evolution of cardiac procedures : research avenues in cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology » (Springer-Verlag publishing house, September 2012). He patented a new surgical instrument. Currently he is a cardiac surgeon in Italy.

Andrey Kuznetsov has worked on the problems of delicate mechanisms of energy metabolism in the heart and their changes under pathophysiological conditions. He studied mitochondrial function and regulation in normal cells and in various pathological states, in particular in the field of mitochondrial cardiac system, mitochondrial interactions with other intracellular structures and systems, performing analysis of mitochondria in situ and in vivo. Also, he studied the roles of mitochondrial damage in ischemia reperfusion injury, apoptosis, calcium homeostasis, oxidative stress, mitochondrial ROS production, cardiac and muscle diseases with imaging of mitochondria and mitochondrial function, mitochondrial dynamics (fission, fusion, motility) in various living cells. He has extensive knowledge in cardiac bioenergetics and mitochondrial physiology and experience in optical imaging (fluorescent, two-photon) of single cell and single mitochondria, imaging of mitochondrial Ca2+, ROS, membrane potential, mitochondrial dynamics for basic science and in clinically oriented studies.
