Dr. Ram Yadav is a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne's Department of Medicine. Formerly an Associate Professor and Head of Physiology at Chitwan Medical College, Nepal, he has a strong background in teaching and research, focusing on cardiovascular autonomic regulation and clinical neurophysiology. His PhD research investigates cardiovascular autonomic functions in individuals with cervical spinal cord injuries as part of an ongoing clinical trial aimed at improving hand function through transcutaneous electrical spinal cord neuromodulation (TESCoN) combined with upper limb physiotherapy.

Melina Giagiozis is a 3rd-year PhD student at the Spinal Cord Injury Research Center of Balgrist University Hospital in Zurich and the Biomedical Data Science Lab of ETH Zürich. Her work is at the intersection of data science, smart sensor technology, and neurology.

Keira Tranter is a physiotherapist (PhD) with over 18 years clinical experience in the area of spinal cord injuries. She is a sessional academic at both The University of Sydney and Macquarie University, teaching physiotherapy management for people with SCI and other neurological conditions. Keira has recently completed her PhD which focused on the translation of physiotherapy evidence into practice to improve health outcomes for people with SCI. She is now a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the John Walsh Centre for Rehabilitation Research, The University of Sydney. Her research continues to focus on the translation of best practice for physiotherapy management for people with SCI and other health conditions.

Prof Mary Galea is a physiotherapist and neuroscientist whose research in basic and clinical neuroscience has contributed to understanding the development and organisation of the motor system and its recovery from injury following nervous system disorders, including spinal cord injury, stroke, and multiple sclerosis.

After a master degree in movement sciences at the Swiss Institute of Technology, Zurich, Gabi Mueller finished a PhD in medical sciences at the Institute of Integrative Physiology at the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands (Prof. Maria Hopman) in 2008. She then worked as senior researcher at the Clinical Trial Unit of the Swiss Paraplegic Centre in Nottwil, Switzerland until the end of 2022. Since 2023 she works as group leader of the respiratory research group at the Swiss Paraplegic Research in Nottwil Switzerland. Her research area mainly includes nutrition, exercise and respiratory physiology after spinal cord injury. The main topic of the respiratory research program of her group is prevention of pneumonia after SCI. Gabi Mueller is a member of the ISCOS SIG group nutrition.

Researcher since 2005. Interested in recovery, rehabilitation including the improvement of walking function after SCI and the ISNCSCI.
