Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board

Dr. Weiner studied Organic Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, completed his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1972, and had his postdoctoral fellowship training at Schering-Plough Corporation in the United States. He started working in Teva Pharmaceuticals in 1975, and since then served in various prominent R&D positions, including VP R&D and Senior Global VP R&D. He was granted the Rothschild Prize for Industrial Innovation twice: in 1989 for the development of Alpha D3 for kidney and bone disorders, and in 1999 for the development of Copaxone(R) for multiple sclerosis. During his 37-year career at Teva, Dr. Weiner was responsible for the introduction and FDA approvals of numerous products in the U.S. and other countries, including “simple” generics, value added generics and bio-similar biologic product development. Under his leadership multiple innovative products were developed and later on launched worldwide, including Copaxone(R) for multiple sclerosis (with billions of dollars peak sales a year), Azilect for Parkinson’s disease, and many others. Dr. Weiner retired from Teva in 2012, and currently holds scientific advisory board positions in various pharmaceutical companies.

Professor of Neuroscience and Neurology: Director and CEO of Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, Columbia University

Prof. Costa received his D.V.M. from the University of Lisbon. He completed his Ph.D. studies with Dr. Alcino Silva at UCLA followed by postdoctoral work with Dr. Miguel Nicolelis at Duke University. Prof. Costa became a Section Chief at the National Institutes of Health in 2006, and in 2009 became an Investigator of the Champalimaud Neuroscience Program. From 2011 to 2013 he served as Deputy Director, and from 2014 to 2017 – as Director of Champalimaud Research.

Prof. Costa uses genetic, electrophysiological, optical, and behavioral approaches to investigate the mechanisms underlying the generation and learning of novel actions. He also studies disorders that lead to problems with action initiation, compulsive behaviors, and habits. He has received the Young Investigator Award from the Society for Neuroscience and the Jean-Louis Jeantet Foundation, the Ariëns Kappers Medal from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and was knighted Commander of the Order of Sant’Iago da Espada. He is an elected member of EMBO and the National Academy of Medicine.

Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Indiana University Bloomington

Prof. Bradshaw completed her B.Sc. in Nutrition and PhD in Neuroscience at Florida State University with focus on peripheral inflammation and visceral pain across the hormonal cycle. She completed her postdoctoral studies at Brown University investigating the role of the endocannabinoid system in pain and inflammation and is currently a Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University. Her research combines the fields of neurophysiology, behavior, and lipid biochemistry to understand how lipid signaling drives changes in cellular communication.

Prof. Bradshaw’s work demonstrated that lipoamines and related lipids, prostaglandins, are differentially regulated by each of the enzymes and receptors associated with the endogenous cannabinoid system and that the active compounds in Cannabis, THC and CBD, likewise regulate these classes of lipids.  Prof. Bradshaw serves on the International Cannabinoid Research Society board since 2016 and was recently elected as the ICRS liaison to and Associate Editor for the Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research journal.

Director of Clinical Neurosciences at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne: Chair of Medicine at the University of Melbourne

Prof. Cook is the Director of Clinical Neurosciences at St. Vincent’s Hospital, as well as the Director of the Graeme Clark Institute and the Sir John Eccles Chair of Medicine at the University of Melbourne. After completing specialist training in Melbourne, he undertook an M.D. thesis while working as Brain Research Fellow at Queen Square, London. He returned to St. Vincent’s Hospital to continue his interest in neuroimaging and management of complex epilepsy.

Prof. Cook specializes in the treatment of epilepsy and is recognized internationally for his expertise in epilepsy management, particularly imaging and surgical planning. He has worked closely with engineers for most of his career, developing novel therapies for epilepsy. His interests have included experimental models of epilepsy and seizure prediction, and he has led the commercialization of an implantable seizure detection device about to start clinical trials.

Professor of Pathology and Cell Biology, Columbia University Erving Medical Center

Dr. Israely carried out her PhD research at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the laboratory of Drs. Xin Liu and Alcino Silva, where she demonstrated that loss of a neural specific cell adhesion protein linked to disease, delta-catenin, results in cognitive dysfunction.  Dr. Israely joined Dr. Susumu Tonegawa’s lab at MIT for her postdoctoral training, where she used two-photon imaging and glutamate uncaging to uncover the learning rules associated with long lasting structural and functional changes at individual synapses. In 2009, she started her own group at the Champalimaud Foundation, and in 2016, the lab relocated to Columbia University, in the Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer’s Disease and the Aging Brain, within the departments of Pathology and Cell Biology and Neuroscience. She uncovered dynamic interactions between spines during synaptic plasticity, such as cooperation and competition, that are critical for the long term storage of information in the brain. Dr. Israely’s laboratory uses genetic, electrophysiological, optical and molecular approaches to study how activity dependent structural changes shape neural circuits, and how when impaired, these contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, and neurodegeneration.
