Biography
Dr. Lee obtained his PhD in Statistics at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He then completed postdoctoral training in computational biology and statistical genetics at the University of Southern California and worked as a Research Scientist in the Laboratory of Molecular Pharmacology at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Prior to joining Moffitt, he had then worked as Professor and Director of Biostatistics at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. His expertise is in biostatistics and biomedical informatics with a focus on personalized medicine and predictive biomarker developments in ovarian, breast and other cancers.

Biography
Dr. Pant received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from Agra University, Agra, India. His postdoctoral studies were conducted on the mechanisms of electron and ion transport in model membrane systems at the Department of Biophysics at Michigan State University. He joined the Laboratory of Neurobiology in the NIMH as a senior staff fellow in 1974 with Dr. Ichiji Tasaki where he studied the function of the axonal cytoskeleton in the squid giant axon. In 1979 he moved to the NIAAA extending his studies on the neuronal cytoskeleton and the effects of alcohol on its regulation. Dr. Pant moved to the NINDS, Laboratory of Neurochemistry in 1987 where he is presently chief of the section on Cytoskeleton Regulation. His laboratory is studying the mechanisms of topographic regulation of neuronal cytoskeleton proteins by post-translational modification, including the role of kinase cascades in normal brain and during neurodegeneration.
