Leonie Young
Professor, Department of Surgery, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences
Professor Leonie Young leads the Endocrine Oncology Research Group based at York House in the Royal college of Surgeons in Ireland. Prof. Young graduated from Trinity College Dublin and completed her PhD training at University College Dublin in 1997 and her research is focused on uncovering networks involved in SRC-mediated resistance in breast cancer to both tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors. In doing so, these investigations will identify markers that predict these outcomes and importantly develop new therapeutic targets. The research focuses on SRC-1 and takes a high-level view to harness data from high throughput experimental methods, molecular studies, functional models and translational studies. Leonie's group capitalises on established strengths in translational research, in particular making use of primary breast cell cultures derived from patient tumours and large clinical datasets. By modelling the mechanism(s) of resistance associated with SRC-1, this research has defined new predictive markers and therapeutic targets suitable for commercial development and clinical trial interventions that could improve patient outcomes.

Leonre Manderson
Visiting Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies, Brown University, USA, and Distinguished Professor, Public Health and Medical Anthropology, University of the Witwatersrand
I was trained in Asian Studies, with my early field research in Peninsular Malaysia. Over the past four decades, I have worked as a medical anthropologist and social historian of medicine on questions of public health among diverse populations in Australia, east and southeast Asia, and increasingly in Africa. My fields of research include questions of gender, sexuality and reproductive health; infectious and chronic disease; access to and ideologies of medical and health care; and disability and inequality. My sustained commitment to build research capacity includes my life long work with higher degree students in and from resource-poor settings, my involvement in CARTA (Collaboration for Advanced Research and Training in Africa), and from 1988 to the present, my continuous collaboration with the WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Disease. My broad interests extend to interdisciplinary collaborations in the social and biosciences, humanities and creative arts, for social justice, human rights, and sustainability.
My key works include, in medical anthropology, Surface Tensions: Surgery, Bodily Boundaries and the Social Self; and in social history, Sickness and the State: Health and Illness in Colonial Malaya, 1870-1940. My latest work – The Routledge Handbook in Medical Anthropology – undertaken with Elizabeth Cartwright (Idaho State University) and Anita Hardon (University of Amsterdam) – was published in May 2016.

Lesley Alton
Research Fellow, Monash University
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in Environmental Science from The University of Adelaide in 2004. For my Honours, I studied the physiology and behaviour of air-breathing fish. From 2006 to 2007 I worked as a Research Officer in the Inland Water Division at the South Australian Research and Development Institute where I was involved in research that assessed the salinity and water quality tolerances of the eggs, larvae and juveniles of native and exotic fish species that live in the Lower River Murray. From 2007 to 2011 I was a PhD candidate at The University of Queensland where I studied how early-life stages of amphibians respond to increased exposure to ultraviolet-B radiation while simultaneously being threatened by predators, experiencing high environmental temperatures, living with a large number of conspecifics, or breathing in hypoxic water. From 2011 to 2015, I worked as research assistant at The University of Queensland, after which I took up my current position as a postdoctoral research fellow at Monash University where I study how animals manage their energy budgets in a changing world through physiological acclimation and adaptation and through behavioural changes.

Lesley Speed
Senior Lecturer in media and screen studies, Federation University Australia
Lesley is a Senior Lecturer and researcher in media and screen studies. She has taught units in digital literacy, media studies, screen studies, adaptation studies, communication and cultural studies, and interdisciplinary Honours courses, as well as supervising research students from Honours to PhD level. Before teaching at Federation University and the University of Ballarat, she taught at La Trobe University, the University of Melbourne and three campuses of Monash University.
This wide range of experience is reflected in Lesley’s research, which is published in Australia and internationally and cited in many countries and various languages. Her research is required reading in tertiary courses internationally. Her publications include the books Clueless: American Youth in the 1990s and Australian Comedy Films of the 1930s: Modernity, the Urban and the International. Lesley has been a Scholar in Residence at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia, a peer reviewer for many journals and publishers in and outside Australia, and a judge in the ATOM (Australian Teachers of Media) Awards.
Lesley’s work includes an emphasis on popular screen texts, extending to digital media, independent screen media, comedy, popular genres and genre-mixing. Her research often centres on social aspects of screen texts, including their relationships to socio-historical contexts, public discourse and shifting ideas about youth, adulthood and everyday life. Her major research projects have focused on comedy and youth culture. However, the ideas underpinning her research are often as much about relationships between screen texts and society as they are about specific platforms, formats or genres. Lesley has pursued research interests in screen comedy; cultural value in relation to popular culture; and social and spatial aspects of screen texts. These interests can be found, individually or in intersecting ways, in her research publications about topics from teen films to early cinema, screen comedy to video games.

Leslie Mabon
Lecturer in Environmental Systems, The Open University
I'm a Lecturer in Environmental Systems in the School of Engineering and Innovation at the Open University. I am an Associate Member of the First Minister's Environmental Council in Scotland, and am a Future Earth Coasts Fellow as well as a former European Crucible participant. I'm also on the Editorial Board for the journal Sustainability Science.
The big question I’m interested in is: whose knowledge counts – and why – within environmental management and policy? I explore these issues through three sub-areas of research:
(a) climate change adaptation governance at the city or regional scale, especially the integration of equity and justice concerns within techncially-led processes for climate risk reduction;
(b) risk, environmental infrastructure and the coastal and marine environment. I am especially interested in how environmental change may impact upon socially and culturally meaningful activities, and what the effects of this may be;
(c) ‘just transitions’ for high-emitting and carbon-intensive regions, where climate imperatives may have to be balanced with local concerns over employment and economic sustainability.
My research has been funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, the British Academy, the Wellcome Trust, the Japan Foundation, and the Royal Society of Edinburgh among others. Outputs from my work on environmental policy and governance have been published in journals including Landscape and Urban Planning, Global Environmental Change, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and World Development.
I'm also a big fan of football, and support Raith Rovers in Scotland. My enthusiasm for football has recently led me to expand my research interests into understanding what climate change means for football.
