Dr. Alan Prem Kumar earned his Ph.D. from University of North Texas, USA. From his Ph.D. work, he discovered a novel regulatory protein, PyrR for the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway in Pseudomonas. Because pyrimidine biosynthesis is an essential step in the progression of secondary Pseudomonas infections, PyrR presents an attractive anti-pseudomonal drug target. Dr. Kumar then pursued Postdoctoral training in Cancer Research at Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, California, USA. He was awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship for his work on the role of nuclear receptors in the transcriptional regulation of human myeloperoxidase, a leukocyte enzyme implicated as causative agent in atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Kumar relocated back to Singapore to join the Faculty of Medicine, National University of Singapore as an independent Principal Investigator to continue on his expertise on nuclear receptor signaling in cancer biology. His current research focus in the areas of signaling by nuclear receptors and oncogenes in breast tumor cells as well as the development of molecular therapeutics and biomarkers of drug action in breast cancer. Over the years, Dr. Kumar and his group have forged relationships with scientists and oncologists in cancer research and with cancer advocacy groups in Singapore.

Peter Solar, Assoc. Prof., Sc.D., Ph.D., is an associated professor at the Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice, Slovak Republic. He graduated in Biology at the Faculty of Science, Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice. He has a particular interest in the resistance of cancer cell to different therapies. He is evaluating the role of erythropoietin receptor in the proliferation and the progression of human ovarian and breast cancer cells. Dr. Solár has authored or co-authored over 60 original manuscripts (Scopus, PubMed, or Web of Science).

Dr. Butler received her residency training in Diagnostic Radiology and fellowship in Breast Imaging at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. After 10 years in private practice in the Chicago area, she returned to academic medicine at Yale New Haven Hospital and joined the medical faculty of Yale School of Medicine in 2009. Dr. Butler’s areas of research interest include digital breast tomosynthesis, screening breast ultrasound, and 3T breast MRI. In addition, she served as national co-PI for a multi-institutional clinical trial of opto-acoustic breast imaging, recognized as a high-impact clinical trial at the 2017 meeting of the RSNA and published in Radiology and the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Dr. Butler has actively pursued a teaching role at Yale and within the radiology community at large. After completing a medical education fellowship at the Yale School of Medicine, she founded the Yale Undergraduate Shadowing Program at the Smilow Breast Center, which provides early exposure to medicine for pre-medical students at Yale College. She participated in revising the medical school curriculum of the Yale School of Medicine, where she teaches first-year medical students, introducing Diagnostic Radiology in early medical education. Dr. Butler has received awards for excellence in teaching from her own residents at Yale and held several visiting professorships in Connecticut at community hospital-based residency programs. She has lectured at regional, national, and international CME meetings and served on national committees, including the RSNA Breast Imaging Exhibit Review Panel and ARRS Education Evaluation Committee. Dr. Butler is also a reviewer for the European Journal of Radiology, Acta Radiological, and Radiographics, for which she has received multiple Editor’s Recognition Awards.
