Biography
Dr. McChesney has more than 55 years of research and development experience in natural products. He is Founder and Principal and serves as Chairman of Cloaked Therapeutics, LLC which was founded to clinically develop the TumorSelect technology discovered and patented by Arbor Therapeutics, LLC, a research and discovery company established by him to research and discover a means to significantly improve clinical therapy of cancer.
Research Interest
His research interests include the chemistry, metabolism, function and production of biologically active organic natural products, bioanalytical chemistry of natural products and drugs, chemotherapy of tropical diseases, and the control of plant growth and development. Most recently he has focused on development of biologically active natural products as pharmaceuticals, especially as anti-infectives and cancer chemotherapeutics.
Biography
After a Doctorate in Pharmacy at the University of Lille, Marie-Lise Bourguet-Kondracki has completed her PhD degree in chemistry of marine natural products from the University of Paris XI-Orsay. She is currently Director of Research CNRS at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, where she spent most of her career, focusing her research activity on the isolation, structure elucidation and structure-activity relationships of bioactive natural products from marine sponges.
Research Interest
She now leads a research team « Molecules of defense and communication within the microbial ecosystems » involved in multidisciplinary studies combining microscopic, cultural, molecular biology and chemical approaches in order to understand the role of the associated bacteria within these complex marine holobionts.
