Marie-Pierre Gagnon obtained her PhD in Community Health from Université Laval in 2003. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Catalan Agency for Health Technology Assessment in 2004-2005, followed by another postdoctoral fellowship at the Health Telematics Unit, University of Calgary, in 2005-2006. She is currently an associate professor at the Faculty of Nursing at Université Laval. In 2012, she was awarded the Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Technologies and Practices in Health. Her research program focuses on the use of scientific evidence in the implementation of innovative technologies, particularly Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in healthcare. Her other research interests include health technology assessment (HTA) and its impact on decision making, the study of individual, professional and organizational determinants of ICT integration in the healthcare system, patient participation in healthcare decisions, and best practices in knowledge translation and application.

Dr. Marina Garcia-Macia is a Ramón y Cajal researcher at the University of Salamanca, where she leads the MacPhagy research group. She did her B.Sc., M.Sc. and PhD in Biology from the University of Oviedo. Then, she did a postdoc at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (NY, USA) and another at the University of Newcastle (UK). In 2019 she joined the Neuroenergetics and Metabolism group, in Salamanca, to continue her research career by directing her line of research in Batten Disease and becoming a young leader. She is part of different scientific networks, including Women in Autophagy (WIA), SEBBM and SEFAGIA. Her scientific career has always been linked to the study of autophagy. In her study of cellular recycling, she has used different models from beef to mice, including zebrafish, hamsters, cell cultures, to understand everything from aging to obesity, including neurodegenerative or liver diseases.
