Biography
Albert Jeltsch finished his PhD on restriction endonucleases at University Hannover in 1994. Afterwards he started working on DNA methyltransferases at Justus-Liebig University Giessen and and Jacobs University Bremen. Since 2011, he is professor of Biochemistry at the University Stuttgart. He received the Gerhard-Hess award (DFG) and BioFuture award (BMBF). Prof. Jeltsch has long standing expertise in the biochemical study of DNA and protein methyltransferases, methyl lysine reading domains and in rational and evolutionary protein design. His work has been published in >200 publications in peer reviewed journals and he is in the editorial boards of several journals.

Biography
Dr. Ingy Moustafa Hashad’s work involved the study of “contribution of the p22 phox gene of NAD(P)H oxidase and eNOS gene polymorphisms in the predisposition of early onset acute myocardial infarction in Egyptian populationâ€. She learnt several techniques through her research including, conventional PCR and SNP analysis, ELISA, electrophoresis, and spectrophotometric determinations. She finished successfully her Ph.D. in May 2012 with great appraisal from the supervisors and examiners. Later, she had the opportunity to spend three months summer research in the research lab of Prof. Wolfgang Poller, Charité Centrum für Herz-, Kreislauf- und Gefäßmedizin and another three months in the research lab of Prof. Michael Bader, Max-Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine, Berlin, Germany which added to her scientific and technical knowledge and skills.
Research Interest
The research interests include Biochemical Markers Genetics and Cardiovascular Diseases
