Born in Teramo on 13 October 1967, since March 2005 he hasbeen an associate professor of Animal Nutritionat the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Teramo. The teaching activity carried out concerns the nutrition of dogs and catsas part of the Master's Degree Course in Veterinary Medicine and the Degree Course in Animal Protection and Welfare. He wasscientific coordinator of the I and II level Masters on nutrition of dogs and cats and clinical dietetics of dogs and catsrespectively. He is a member of severalscientific societies in the field of food and animalnutrition. The scientific activity of Prof. Gramenzi, documented by the relative publications, of whichmanyhavebeenexamined by Referees of international and national congresses and journals, isdividedinto a series of researchesthatembrace the varioussectors of animalnutrition with particularregard to pet. The research activity, aimedatstudying the problems of pets, is of a multidisciplinarytype, in an attempt to integrate the characteristics of the individual, the breeding environment, management, nutrition and animal health. In particular, the following issueswereaddressed and studied in depth: • Nutritionalevaluation of petfoods: • Study of the intestinal microbiota of dogs and cats • Evaluation of the efficacy of probiotics in animal feed • In vitro models for the study of the intestinal microbiota • Role of Omega 3 fatty acids in dog and catnutrition • Lipidomicanalysis of membrane phospholipids

I am a full professor at Memorial’s Department of Ocean Sciences, where my integrative research program focuses on two main themes: 1) the environmental physiology/biology of north temperate fishes (e.g., Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, Arctic char, lumpfish, Atlantic cod, sablefish, wolf fish and cunner); and 2) improving culture conditions for, and the production of, finfish. This research uses a multi-level (whole animal, organ/tissue, cellular, genomic, epigenetic) approach to test hypotheses about how environmental conditions (temperature, oxygen, hydrostatic pressure, domestication) affect the physiology (metabolism, swimming performance, cardiovascular function and stress physiology) and immunology of various fishes, or how life history and ecology influence the design of physiological systems. Techniques utilized in this research include: respirometry for the measurement of fish metabolism/swimming ability; in vivo measurements of cardiovascular function, blood oxygen status and hormone levels; in situ measurements of heart performance; in vitro measurements of mitochondrial function, hormone receptors and vascular function; the use of telemetry and data loggers for measuring fish physiology and behaviour; and qPCR, RNAseq and microarray analyses of gene expression. This work is highly collaborative, and often involves working closely with multiple partners, including government agencies and companies. Most recently, this research has focused on: understanding how fish species are affected by the environmental challenges of accelerated climate change with the goal of informing management and conservation decisions; and mitigating the impacts of temperatures extremes temperatures (both high and low) and hypoxia (low water oxygen levels) on the Atlantic salmon and sablefish aquaculture industries. I have published over 125 articles in the primary literature, am the author of 6 review articles and 5 book chapters, and recently edited 2 volumes of the prestigious book series Fish Physiology. Further, I am currently the Program Co-Chair of the 2022 Aquaculture Association of Canada / WAS North America meeting (St. John’s, NL; Aug. 15 – 18), am the co-lead of the ‘Mitigating the Impact of Climate-Related Challenges on Salmon Aquaculture‘ (MICCSA) project, and am the lead scientist for two Ocean Frontier Institute aquaculture sub-modules (https://oceanfrontierinstitute.com/index.php?p=research/sustainable-aquaculture).

My name is Jannel Acosta, I am a professor in the Department of Pathophysiology of the Faculty of Biological Sciences at the Universidad de Concepción. My line of research has been closely related to the areas of Molecular Immunology with biotechnological applications. My main research topics have focused on the study of the interaction between the endocrine system and the immune system. We have characterized the impact on the immune system of molecules such as growth hormone and neuropeptides, with previously defined functions in the endocrine system. In addition, we have identified and characterized new regulatory molecules of the innate and acquired immune response such as cytokines, defensins and antimicrobial peptides. Most of these studies were developed in fish models such as zebrafish, tilapia, catfish, salmonids; as well as comparative studies in murine models. We have focused the results of our basic research on technological applications to improve the productivity and health of economically important aquatic organisms.

Graduated in Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture at the University of Florence, he obtained a doctorate in "Animal Health and Production" in 2000 with a thesis on the estimation of the genetic variability of native breeds at risk of extinction using molecular markers. Part of the doctorate was spent at the laboratories of the Institute of Animal Health in Compton (UK) where he acquired skills in molecular biology applied to animal genetics. Since 2004 he has been a researcher at the Institute of Zootechnics of the Faculty of Agriculture of Piacenza, where he participated in numerous European and national research projects Since 2010 he has held the position of Technical Director of the Italian Breeders Association with responsibility for the system of functional controls for the production of meat and milk of all species raised in Italy. His scientific interests mainly concern the use of molecular markers for the study of the genetic variability of populations and breeds of farm animals for the purpose of conserving biodiversity and understanding their evolutionary history. More recently he has been involved in the use of new molecular technologies for the identification of useful genes, the integration of genomic information in the selection schemes and the application of genomic selection. He has participated in numerous national and international research projects including the European projects Econogene, Resgen, Trace and Globaldiv, and Nextgen and the national projects Selmol and Innovagen He is the author or co-author of over 85 scientific publications in international peer reviewed journals.
