Biosketch: Dr. Ferez Soli Nallaseth completed his educational studies in India and the United States. He was awarded, a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry (B.Sc.) from the University of Mumbai (Bombay) in 1975, India, a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology (B.S.) in 1977, and Master of Science degree in Microbiology (M.S.) in 1979 both from the University of Georgia, Athens, GA, in 1979. He was awarded a Doctorate (Ph.D.) degree in Biology (Genetics, Biochemistry) from the University of South Carolina, Columbia, in 1987. Ferez held a number of Postdoctoral Fellowship and Faculty positions across the United States in his core areas of research as well as in a broad subset of the Life Sciences. Dr. Nallaseth made some innovative and highly recognized contributions in scientific, societal, sports, civic and cultural areas. Dr. Nallaseth collaborates with international Scientists, Professors and Leaders at Universities, Global Think Tanks, Biotechnology Enterprises and Research Institutions in an array of sub-fields of the Life and Social Sciences in meeting the current challenges in Healthcare and Socioeconomics through the restructured LSINJ first established in 2004. These challenges are met by restructuring of the fundamental paradigm in Medicine, from therapeutic intervention via management to preemption in real time, of thousands of genetic disease lesions. Including those for which preemption is the only ‘real cure’ and cause such intractable pathological conditions as Cancer(s) and Alzheimer’s disease. This strategy emerged from Dr. Nallaseth’s current Core Area of Research in Mammalian Evolutionary Genetics of Speciation, regulation of Chromosome and Genome Biology (specifically DNA replication and recombination), Sex Determination and Gametogenesis. Contributions emerging from a 40 year journey by Dr. Nallaseth, made under extreme sociopolitical and non-scientific duress, have resulted in more than 200 online articles, ebook chapters, including in peer reviewed journals, conference presentations, editorials and OpEd pieces - with another 30 articles and 5 books in preparation. Many of which have corrected the literature of multiple fields published in frontline journals while covering an array of subjects in the various fields of sciences, sociopolitics, socioeconomics, sports and policy. His core work has now developed ramifications for Global Biomedical, Health and Economic Policies through the application of this approach. The magnitude of Global interest in this undertaking of the LSINJ is illustrated with the search term ‘What is the Life Sciences Institute of NJ’ yielding up to 236 million ‘hits’ on a Google Search (1) Is There a Role for an Evolutionary Genetics Based Rational Health Policy In Global Biomedical, Health and Economic Policies?

Biosketch: Ralph Sherman probably has far greater experience derived of more fields of Biological and Physical Sciences from both industrial and research laboratories than any other Board Member of the LSINJ. Furthermore he has established and administered multiple industrial enterprises and companies. His experience directly relevant to the core goals of the LSINJ include Pharmaceutical Research and Development; Excipient Biophysics; Medical Electronics; Electrical Impedence; Pulsed EM fields; Sensory-Motor Cybernetics; Mathematical Biology; Intermediate Metabolism; Network Thermodynamics; and Sensory Integration Organismic Sets and Measurement Theory. Ralph Sherman was awarded his Bachelors of Science in Engineering - Physics by the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, MI. He specialized in the Fields of Biophysics and Spectroscopy – which are currently a focus of Live Cell Imaging and the Optical revolution in the Life Sciences. Ralph has also carried out prior studies in chemistry and microbiology at the Detroit College of Pharmacy, a year of basic science and math at Kenyon College, Ohio. He also underwent special training in Chemical Munitions in the Chemical Warfare Service, US Army. Sargent Ralph Sherman plays multiple roles in the LSINJ including as Chief of Biophysics Operations, Chief of Technology Transfer Operations, Chief of Electronics Operations, Chief of Biophysics Technology Transfer - Central Nervous System (EEG) Thermodynamics, Group Leader in Groups on Biophysics, Electronics and Technology Transfer Operations. We anticipate that Ralph Sherman will enable us to bridge the technical and conceptual chasms existing between the necessary electronics, biophysical, electronic systems and their applications in the core as well as ancillary areas of activities of the LSINJ. We also anticipate that his experience in the activities of St. Francis of Assisi Ecumenical Retreat will advise any of the Civic, Educational and Health outreach activities of the LSINJ at home and abroad.
