The researchers behind the standing
Independently verified: current affiliation, public profile and published contact confirmed from the open record.
Bernhard Kuster
Kuster leads chemical proteomics at TUM and directs the Bavarian Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry Centre. His team maps how cancer drugs engage their true protein targets, publishing open resources covering a thousand kinase inhibitors. A Leopoldina member and ERC grantee, he has co-founded companies translating proteomics and machine learning into precision medicine.
Senthold Asseng
Asseng directs the World Agricultural Systems Center and models how climate change reshapes wheat and other staple crops. He coordinates large international crop model comparison networks spanning dozens of countries, translating their results into adaptation advice on sowing dates, fertiliser need and vertical farming for growers and policymakers.
Simon N. Jacob
Jacob is a board certified neurologist whose laboratory records single neurons in animals and in human patients during neurosurgery, revealing how prefrontal circuits support working memory and decision making. Working with neurosurgeons and engineers, he develops microelectrode arrays and brain computer interfaces aimed at disorders of cognition and mental health.
