Sten Grillner has unravelled the intrinsic function of the modular network organization underlying fundamental aspects of our motor repertoire. He developed a novel and simpler vertebrate model (lamprey). In focus are now the forebrain systems that are responsible for selection of different patterns of behavior.
Sten Grillner has also helped develop the OECD initiated International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF) with the secretariat in Stockholm. INCF has now 17 member countries extending from Japan, Korea and India to Europe and the US.

Dr. Moraru is the Director of the High Performance Computing Facility and an Associate Professor of Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. Prof. Moraru received an MD from the Bucharest Institute for Medicine and Pharmacy in 1988 and a PhD in Cell Biology from Carol Davila University in 1992. His current main interest is the development of methods to bridge the gap between quantitative, "bottom-up", spatially-resolved, detailed simulations of cellular functions, and large-scale, pathway- and "omics"-derived systems biology models.
| Dr. Peng has been a Program Director in the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), at the National Institutes of Health. Her program areas at the NIBIB include mathematical modeling, simulation and analysis methods, and next generation engineering systems for rehabilitation engineering and neuroengineering. In 2003, Dr. Peng lead the creation of the Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group (IMAG)(www.imagwiki.org/mediawiki).
