Dr. Antonson is an Assistant Professor in the Immunophysiology and Behavior Program within the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign (UIUC). She established her research program in 2021 to investigate how prenatal inflammatory exposures alter placental function and fetal brain development. Dr. Antonson's multidisciplinary training in immunology, neuroscience, reproductive physiology, and microbiology enables her to interrogate complex interactions across the maternal-fetal interface and placenta-brain axis.

Dr. Sadayappan's research is driven by a deep commitment to improving muscle health, with a long-term goal of preventing and treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart failure, distal arthrogryposis of skeletal muscle, and smooth muscle-related diseases.

Dr. Parker directs the Social Neurosciences Research Program, which seeks to advance understanding of the biological basis of social functioning across a range of species, and to translate these fundamental insights to drive diagnostic and treatment
advances for patients with social functioning difficulties.

Zachary Knight is a Professor of Physiology at UCSF and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. His lab studies the neural mechanisms that control hunger and thirst. Dr. Knight received his B.A. in Chemistry from Princeton and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from UCSF, where he performed research with Kevan Shokat. He then performed postdoctoral studies with Jeffrey Friedman at Rockefeller, before returning to UCSF in 2012 to start his independent lab.
