Jonathan Baell is a research professor in medicinal chemistry at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MIPS), the Director of the Australian Translational Medicinal Chemistry Facility and a Chief Investigator at the ARC Centre for Fragment-Based Design. His interests are in the design and quality of HTS libraries, medicinal chemistry hit-to-lead and lead optimization for the treatment of a variety of diseases, such as malaria and neglected diseases as well as computer-aided peptidomimetic design in order to generate compounds with potential therapeutic utility and value.

Ka Young Chung is Associate Professor in the School of Pharmacy at Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, South Korea and heads at the Molecular and Structural Biology Lab. Her lab uses HDX-MS to study protein structure, protein-small molecule interactions, protein-DNA interactions, protein conformational change, and protein folding. She and her team are specifically interested in understanding conformational dynamics of membrane proteins such as GPCRs, various ion channels, and transporters.
