Postdoctoral Researcher in Gut Microbiome Research, University of Tübingen
My academic work delves into the fascinating world of microbes, those tiny chemists that, despite their invisibility, have a profound impact on life on Earth. During my PhD, I concentrated on harnessing individual or groups of microbes to transform toxic waste gases into valuable products. I approach this by metaphorically stepping into the microbes' shoes, aiming to understand their motivations and applying this knowledge to optimize industrial biotechnological processes. Since December 2023, I’ve shifted my focus to the human gut microbiome, exploring the complex interplay between these microbes and human health. With more microbial cells in our bodies than human cells, understanding their specific roles in maintaining health or contributing to disease is crucial. My current research is dedicated to unraveling fundamental questions in this field by taking the microbial perspective.

Research Interests:
Global history, especially Asia and Europe in the early modern period; history of knowledge and technology; history of material culture, especially textiles, porcelain and luxury manufactured goods; also history writing and historiography 1920s - 1960s.
'Eurasian Trade and European Markets 1600-1830.’ This is a study of Asian export ware produced for and traded in the consumer markets of Europe and the Atlantic world. How did East India Companies, private traders and Indian and Chinese merchants design goods of wide appeal to Western markets, and organize their production and distribution systems in this long-distance trade in material goods and culture between Asia and Europe? How were these Asian-produced goods collected and displayed in European and American public and private interiors? What part did this Eurasian trade play in stimulating Europe’s consumer and industrial revolutions?
Wealth and Knowledge: the Transmission of Useful Knowledge 1600-1850’. A study of how craft, tacit and formal knowledge was transmitted among manufacturers, especially in luxury goods across Europe and between Europe and Asia.

Senior Research Fellow, The University of Melbourne
Dr. Maya Panisset (she/they) is a clinician researcher (physiotherapist) with a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Melbourne, specialising in neurorehabilitation, co-design and digital health. They have a passion for person-centred care and early intervention for people with neurological conditions. With a special interest in mobility, balance and falls prevention, Dr. Panisset was substantially involved in the development and conduct of an inaugural community-based trial of group-based exercise and social program for older adults at risk of falls utilising specially designed Seniors Exercise Parks, of which there are now fourteen parks installed in greater Melbourne and interstate.
Dr. Panisset specialises in the study of novel neuromodulation techniques to enhance neurorehabilitation, including the PONsTM device for translingual neuromodulation. As a Senior Research Fellow in the Dept. of Medicine (RMH), they currently coordinate a global-first early adaptive trial of transcutaneous spinal cord neuromodulation (TESCoN) led by Prof. Mary Galea to restore upper limb function in people living with tetraplegia, funded by the MRFF and TAC, and located within the Victorian Spinal Cord Service at the Royal Talbot Spinal Rehabilitation Centre.
The research team is also exploring the application of innovative non-linear metrics for walking and standing balance, utilizing inertial sensors (IMUs) in collaboration with the MS Immunology Centre at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. The ultimate goal is to create a mobile health tool that empowers individuals with MS to remotely monitor their condition, facilitating early detection of deterioration and ensuring timely access to preventative interventions. This is especially crucial given the absence of a cure for MS.

Associate Professor of History, Binghamton University, State University of New York
Meg Leja specializes in the political and cultural history of late antique and medieval Europe. Her research interests range widely across gender history, religious studies, reception and manuscript studies, and the history of science. Her first book, Embodying the Soul: Medicine and Religion in Carolingian Europe, published with the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2022, explores changing perceptions of the body and the value of medical knowledge in the early medieval period. Drawing out points of symmetry between the extant ninth-century medical corpus and other forms of Carolingian literature, it examines how intellectuals and anonymous scribes wrestled with the theological ambiguities of intervening on the body and tied practices of self-care to evolving ideas of individual responsibility. Her current research projects deal with visionary literature in the Carolingian realm, the scope of Latin medical material before the twelfth century, and legal conceptions of necessity and exemption in the early Middle Ages.
Leja has held fellowships at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wolf Humanities Center, Binghamton’s IASH, and Princeton’s Center for the Study of Religion. She is affiliated with the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and the TAE in Material and Visual Worlds.
Leja teaches survey courses on early medieval Europe and pre-modern medicine as well as a variety of thematic courses on healthcare and gender, death and disease, religion and culture in late antiquity, the Carolingian Empire, and Mediterranean environmental history.
