Nuno Miguel Proença is a researcher of the Centre for Humanities at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of the NOVA University of Lisbon. After a PhD in philosophy at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, in which he questioned the conditions and the procedures that establish a relationship between epistemic expectations, self-knowledge and subjective transformations within the Freudian psychoanalytic setting, his post-doctoral work was focused on the philosophical reception of psychoanalytic concepts before encompassing questions concerning embodiment, affectivity and narrative identity.

Veronica Dodero, University of Bielefeld, Germany
Veronica I. Dodero is a chemist who works in the triple point where chemistry, biology, and physics meets at Bielefeld University, Germany. Using a translational approach, she is leading an international transdisciplinary project to shed light on gluten-related disorders at a fundamental level with the final aim to transfer this knowledge from the bench to the bedside. Dr Dodero performed her thesis at University Nacional del Sur (UNS, Argentina) and the University of Dortmund (Germany) in Organometallic Chemistry. For her doctoral studies, she was obtained the Aaron and Fanny Fidelef Nijamkim’s Award for the Best 2003 Ph.D. student in Chemistry. After that, she got a postdoctoral position at University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) in the area of Chemical Biology and a second one in the field of Medicinal Chemistry at the University Complutense of Madrid in Spain, too. Back in Argentina, she was appointed for her first independent research as a CONICET Researcher, and she obtained the Professorship position in Organic Chemistry at UNS. As a group leader, she worked in the area of molecular recognition and bio-supramolecular chemistry. In 2015, she was awarded the Georg Forster Fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for experienced researchers at Bielefeld University. During her successful research project on the supramolecular behavior of gliadin and its fragments, she conceived a novel hypothesis in the area of gluten-related disorders. She showed that gliadin peptides folding and self-organization have a pathological role, proposing that gluten-related disorders might be a new protein aggregation disease.
