is currently a
Professor at the Institute of Genetic Medicine and the Departments
of Biological Chemistry, Oncology and Pathology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
He obtained his M.D. from Armed Forces Medical College,
Pune and completed his residency in Pathology at the Brigham and
Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. He obtained his
Ph.D. in the laboratory of Vishva Dixit at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1995 and carried out his Postdoctoral work in the laboratory
of Harvey Lodish at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical
Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1996-1999. He was a Visiting
Scientist with Matthias Mann at the University
of Southern Denmark from 1999-2002 before joining Johns Hopkins in 2002.
Dr. Pandey developed the SILAC method in Matthias Mann's laboratory and continues to apply this technique in many areas including signaling and biomarker discovery. Dr. Pandey's laboratory is known for taking a systems biology approach by combining many 'Omics' technologies. He has received numerous prestigious awards including the Experimental Pathologist-In-Training Award
by the American Society for Investigative Pathology, Howard Temin Award from the National Cancer Institute,
Sidney Kimmel Scholar Award by the Sidney Kimmel Foundation for Cancer Research and the Beckman Young Investigator Award by
Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation. He has recently received the Era of Hope Scholar Award by the Department of
Defense which is "intended for exceptionally talented, early-career scientists who have demonstrated that they are the best and the
brightest in their field(s) through extraordinary creativity, vision, and productivity, and who have shown a strong potential
for leadership in the breast cancer community as well as a vision for the eradication of breast cancer." He is a past Editorial Board member of Genome Research and currently serves as an Editorial Board member of Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, Journal of Proteome Research, Proteomics, Clinical Proteomics and DNA Research and as an Associate Editor of BMC Bioinformatics. He is also the Founder and Director of the Institute of Bioinformatics, a non-profit research institute in Bangalore, India.

Patrick Shaw, Ph.D. obtained his Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Johns Hopkins
During his Ph.D. in the laboratory of Dr. Nancy Davidson, Patrick developed methods for global analysis of protein
acetylation and subcellular localization in the context of breast cancer progression and treatment. He is interested
in applying mass spectrometry to quantify post-translational modifications in oxidative stress response pathways.
He is currently working on a joint project with the laboratory of Dr. Shyam Biswal to identify protein nitrosylation
and nitration sites relevant to the pathology and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
