Alberto Ciferri is currently a Visiting Professor at Duke
University, an Associate at the National Research Council (ISMAC),
and President of the Jepa-Limmat Foundation, which is devoted to
advanced education in developing countries. His research has had
significant impact in the areas of the rheological properties of
natural and synthetic polymers, fibrous proteins, interactions
between salts and macromolecules, liquid crystals, and
supramolecular assemblies.

Angelo Perico is Research Director at the National Research
Council, associated with the Institute for Macromolecular Studies,
in Genoa, Italy. Dr. Perico's research is related to theory and
modeling of synthetic and biological macromolecules and their
dynamics, assembly, and functions, particularly the interactions
among oppositely and similarly charged polyelectrolytes and on the
electrostatic effects that promote the formation of complex
biomolecular structures.
