Prof. Dr. Curtis Callan
Princeton University, USA
Biography: https://phy.princeton.edu/people/curtis-callan
Curtis Gove Callan Jr. (born October 11, 1942) is an American theoretical physicist renowned for his foundational contributions to quantum field theory and string theory. He earned his B.A. in physics from Haverford College in 1961 and completed his Ph.D. at Princeton University in 1964 under the supervision of Sam Treiman, focusing on spherically symmetric cosmological models.
Prof. Callan's research has significantly advanced the understanding of quantum field theory, particularly through the development of the Callan–Symanzik equation, which addresses the behavior of quantum fields under changes in scale. His work has also explored the dynamics of instantons, monopoles, and string solitons, and he has made pivotal contributions to the study of black holes and strong interactions. Starting about 20 years ago, motivated by the explosion of data on biological systems due to the genomic revolution, he shifted his interest to problems in biology. In this new field, he uses methods and attitudes of theoretical physics to make sense of the large datasets produced by modern cellular biology. This has led him, among other things, to apply information theory to gene regulation in bacteria and fruit fly embryonic development, and also to use statistical inference to learn the rules of stochastic genome editing process that creates the vast diversity of T and B cells that make up the human immune system.
Throughout his career, Prof. Callan has held esteemed positions, including serving as the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of Physics at Princeton University. He served as president of the American Physical Society in 2010 and was elected a Fellow of the APS in 1971. He was also elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1987 and the National Academy of Sciences in 1989.
In recognition of his exceptional contributions to theoretical physics, Prof. Callan received the J.J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics in 2000 and the Dirac Medal in 2004. He transitioned to emeritus status at Princeton University on July 1, 2024, after a distinguished tenure that began in 1972.

He leads the atomic force microscopy (AFM) team within the Methods and Electron Microscopy Group.
Since his early days in the crystallography lab of D. Moras and E. Westhof in the late 1980s, Dr. Pellequer's research has focused on “solving” biological puzzles using structural biology knowledge rather than determining molecular structures. Through postdoctoral fellowships in the labs of Barry Honig (Columbia U.) and John Tainer/Elisabeth Getzoff (The Scripps Res. Inst.), computational modeling of proteins has remained Dr. Pellequer's core activity.
In the last 20 years, Dr. Pellequer entered the world of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), essentially with the AFM technique. His group has performed high-resolution imaging of single isolated molecules, dynamic force spectroscopy, and the mechanical characterization of plant root tissues. Recently, as part of the Phys2BioMed project, Dr. Pellequer’s team has demonstrated a possible molecular biological response pathway of plant primary roots simply by analyzing the changes in nanomechanics of living tissues upon the addition of xenobiotic stress.
The computational work of Dr. Pellequer’s team involves the development of image processing tools, nanomechanics theory, and a computational pipeline to reconstruct large protein complexes using high-resolution AFM data. This integrative approach combines experimental and computational methods to advance the field of structural biology.

Prof. Dr. Simon Scheuring
Cornell University, USA
Biography: https://scheuringlab.com/director/
Simon Scheuring is a trained biologist (Biozentrum, University of Basel, Switzerland). During his MSc and PhD, he learned electron microscopy (EM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) for the structure determination of membrane proteins such as aquaporins and sugar transporters. During his postdoc and as research assistant (Institut Curie, Paris, France), he learned membrane physical chemistry and developed AFM for the study of native membranes, and ventured into setting up his lab as a junior research director at the Institut Curie. Promoted to senior research director, he built a larger independent laboratory in Marseille (INSERM / Aix-Marseille Université, France). In 2017, he moved to Weill Cornell Medicine, where he was appointed as Professor of Physiology and Biophysics in Anesthesiology (WCM, New York, USA). Simon Scheuring’s laboratory develops and applies AFM-technologies for the study of membrane phenomena, such as membrane protein structure, assembly, diffusion and conformational dynamics. Over the past years, his laboratory has been instrumental in the development and application of High-Speed AFM (HS-AFM), unique for the analysis of dynamics of unlabeled single molecules, bridging structure and function. To enhance HS-AFM for biological applications, his laboratory developed environmental control, i.e., slow, and fast buffer exchange, temperature, and force control. Further developments covered novel AFM-modalities, (i) integrating optical microscopy and HS-AFM, (ii) developing high-speed force spectroscopy (HS-FS) and (iii) high frequency microrheology (HF-µR). Most recently, Simon Scheuring’s laboratory worked on breaking current speed and resolution limitations of AFM. Developing HS-AFM line scanning (HS-AFM-LS) and HS-AFM height spectroscopy (HS-AFM-HS), the group probes molecular dynamics at millisecond and microsecond temporal resolution. By developing Localization Atomic Force Microscopy (LAFM), a super-resolution AFM method, Simon Scheuring’s lab can extract quasi-atomic structural details from single molecule AFM data. Taking advantage of these possibilities, Simon Scheuring made significant contributions in the membrane trafficking, and the channels and transporters fields.
Simon Scheuring authored 110 research articles, among them publications in (Cell, Science, Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Cell Biology, Nature Methods, Nature Physics, Nature Communications, PNAS, EMBO J, etc), 30 review articles and 16 didactic writings, such as book and methods chapters. He has been awarded an INSERM Avenir (2005), the médaille de la Ville de Paris (2007), a European Research Council (ERC) grant (2012), the Grand Prix Robert Debré (2013), the NIH Director's Pioneer Award (2019), and the WM Keck Foundation Medical Research Award (2022).
