Jill Mesirov is associate vice chancellor for computational health sciences and professor of medicine UC San Diego School of Medicine.  As associate vice chancellor, Mesirov is responsible for the overarching strategy for computational health sciences and research computing at UC San Diego School of Medicine.  She is a member of the UCSD Moores Cancer Center, where she serves as co-lead for the cancer genomes and networks research program.

Mesirov is a computational scientist who has spent many years working in the area of high-performance computing on problems that arise in science, engineering, and business applications. Her current research interest is computational biology with a focus on algorithms and analytic methodologies for pattern recognition and discovery with applications to cancer genomics and infectious disease. In addition, Mesirov is committed to the development of practical, accessible software tools to bring these methods to the general biomedical research community.

Before moving to UCSD, Mesirov most recently served as associate director and chief informatics officer at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, formerly the Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for Genome Research, where she directed the Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Program. She previously served as manager of computational biology and bioinformatics in the Healthcare/Pharmaceutical Solutions Organization, director of research at Thinking Machines Corporation and has also held positions in the mathematics department at the University of California at Berkeley and served as associate executive director of the American Mathematical Society.

Mesirov, a former president of the Association for Women in Mathematics, is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Mathematical Society (AMS), and the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB).

Mesirov received her B.A. in mathematics from the University of Pennsylvania. She earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in mathematics from Brandeis University.

Shigefumi Mori received his Ph.D. in 1978 from Kyoto University under Professor Masayoshi Nagata. He became an assistant at Kyoto University in 1975, an assistant professor at Harvard University (1977 - 1980), a lecturer at Nagoya University in 1980. Then he visited Harvard University, I.A.S. Princeton, Columbia University and several others until he became a professor at Nagoya University in 1988. In 1990 he moved to RIMS, Kyoto University, where he served as Director during 2011 - 2014. He has also been Member of Japan Academy since 1999. He received Frank Nelson Cole Prize, Japan Academy Prize, Fields Prize, Person of Cultural Merits of Japanese Government, and Fujiwara Award, and University Professor of Nagoya University among others. He was Member of Executive Committee of IMU (1995 - 1998), Member of General Committee of ICSU (1996 - 1998), Vice President of IMU (1999 - 2002), and has been President of IMU since 2015.

His field of research is algebraic geometry, especially higher dimensional birational geometry. His achievements include the affirmative solutions of Hartshorne and Frankel Conjectures, and establishment of the minimal model program for threefolds.

John Toland, who is Director of the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge (UK), works on theoretical aspects of specific nonlinear partial differential equations using global topological and variational methods and (elementary) real-analytic-variety techniques. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the Executive Committee of the International Mathematical Union.
