Avontec's Scientific Advisory Board encompasses outstanding clinical and basic research expertise in inflammatory disease and transcription factor biology.
Prof. James Darnell is one of the most eminent biologists of the 20th century. He discovered the JAK/STAT signaling pathway in the early 1990s. His laboratory is focused on the regulation of STAT activity and the three-dimensional structure of STATs.
Prof Stephen Holgate is a world-class expert in asthma and COPD with more than 700 publications in this area. He is interested in genetic predispositions for the disease and the role of virus infections in its pathogenesis.
Prof. James Krüger is a renowned expert in psoriasis with particular interest in cutaneous inflammation and autoimmune mechanisms in the skin. His laboratory takes a “bench-to-bedside” approach linking clinical study of novel therapeutics with laboratory study of relevant immunopathogenic mechanisms.
Prof Amy Simon is a renowned expert working on the role of STAT proteins in acute lung injury, asthma and COPD. Her laboratory focuses on identifying the signaling pathways that mediate airway remodeling in asthma and acute lung injury.
Prof Jaqueline Bromberg is a distinguished scientist who studies the role of constitutive STAT activation in cellular transformation and tumorgenesis. Her laboratory studies mechanisms and effects of transcription factor activation and inhibition and their pathogenic impact.
Prof. Claus Kroegel is one of the foremost clinicians and researchers in chronic obstructive lung disease and has received several awards in the area of immunology, cytology, allergy and pulmonary medicine.
Prof. Eduardo Marban is an outstanding expert in the area of the molecular biology of cardiac ion channels and myocardial gene transfer. He is Chief of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins.
Prof. Hans-Hartmut Peter is an internationally renowned expert on rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.
Prof. Werner Seeger is considered worldwide as a leading expert in the area of endothelial cell-leukocyte interaction in inflammatory lung diseases.
Prof. Wolfram Sterry is internationally known as an expert on psoriasis and allergic skin diseases
