Dr. Prakash Jha is a Project Scientist-I at the Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Research (ACBR), University of Delhi, India. His research focuses on computational drug discovery and structural bioinformatics, with a growing interest in applying AI-driven approaches to respiratory diseases. Dr. Jha's work involves virtual screening, pharmacophore modeling, and molecular dynamics simulations to identify novel therapeutics. He is particularly interested in translating in silico insights into meaningful advances in respiratory health.

Dr. Diana Marangu-Boore is a board certified paediatric pulmonologist affiliated with the University of Nairobi in Kenya. She is committed to improving respiratory health regionally and globally through discovery, translation and intervention. Her current research focuses on the genetics and immunology of recurrent and persistent pneumonia and its intersection with interventional pulmonology.
