Roukos DH, Ioannina University, Greece. Dimitrios Roukos, MD (Athens University, Greece), PhD (J.W.Goethe University, Frankfurt a.M., Germany), has moved his scientific interest after 25 years of reductionist medicine to network biology-based systems medicine. Assessing the clinical limitations of current traditional medicine to cure in the future incurable diseases such as cancer, has focused over the last 5 years on human cancer genome both structural variation and functional heterogeneity. His emerging goal is to understand how inherited and somatic mutations, epigenome, transcriptome and interactome abnormalities change chromatin dynamic states and gene expression. Emerging evidence suggests that this gene dysfunction and deregulation of cell signalling pathways drive tumorigenesis and metastasis. His ultimate goal is to approach next-generation anticancer drugs and biomarkers to future achievement of personalized medicine and network biology-based managment of cancer.Publication metrics: > 200 papers with ~ 5,000 citations (h=55) in PubMed, ISI, Scopus and current editor of two eBooks on personalized management of cancer and cancer genome heterogeneity-based treatment of cancer. Currently is key evaluator in European Commission (FP7 Systems Medicine area) and French National Research Agency (22 billion euros) participating in experts panel meeting in Brussels and Paris (end 2011) for the selection of best projects. He is leader of Translational Research in European Union Network of Excellence (EUNE) for gastric cancer and Personalized Cancer Genomic Medicine, Biobank in Ioannina University (Greece). He has been invited speaker and consensus member in multiple International Cancer Meetings. He serves as Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editor and Editorial board member in 20 influential journals.

Assessing limitations of conventional reductionist medicine, he have shifted to multi-scale genes, proteins, molecules, DNA, and RNA interactions in physical and functional networks. Revolutionary NGS technologies provide mow sequencing of DNA (whole genome, exome), transcriptome (RNA-seq, Chip-seq), epigenome (BS-seq) and also along with novel techniques (living cells imaging and computational models) also deeper insights into the grand challenge of interactome (multidimensional spatiotemporal protein-protein interactions). Integrating all these experimental data (omics, living-cells imaging, 3D-genome resolution and intra- and inter-cellular differentiation mapping) and large-scale clinical data into computational models, deep understanding of a personal genome code-lifestyle interactions network is beginning to be shaped. The perspectives of future medicine based on clinical genome and systems science are now rationally excellent for revolutionizing healthcare.

Anatoly Victorovich Skalny was born on the 12th of April, 1962 in Ivano-Frankovsk-City (Ukrain). Graduated school in Olyka village of Volynskaya oblast and medical faculty of Ivano-Frankovsk Medicine State Institute (1985) with honours. Began to carry aout scientific researches from 1979 in a student scientific society under the leadership of professor G.A. Babenko, a leading specialist in medicine elementology in Soviet Union. Ph.D. in Medicine (from 1990). Member of Council on trace elements in agriculture, biology and medicine in AS USSR and RAS (from 1987), Executive Committee of Moscow department of physicians-assistants' Society (from 1989), Boards in ecology and natural recources, science, culture and public health Political Consulting Council under the President of Russian Federation (from 1997), Member of advisory committee in ecology at Moscow City Parliament, co-founder of public movement "Healthy City - health of moscovites" (from 1998). In 1985–1991 worked as a research assistant, Junior Researcher and Researcher in department of restoration treatment of children with cerebral paralysis of Research Institute of common and justice psychiatry by V.P.Serbsky of HM USSR, department of alcoholism genetics in State Scientific Center of narcology of HM USSR. In 1988 he founded scientific-medical center "Element" that is the base to carry out researches of biosubstrates elemental content for medicine purposes during 11 years (for population, health and sanitary-hygienic organizations), scientific institutes such as Research Institute of pediatrics of RAMS, Center for perinatology, obstetrics and gynaecology of HM RF, Navy Institute of Hygiene of HM RF, colleges of medicine of Moscow, Ivanovo, Irkutsk, N.Novgorod and other cities. Center for Biotic Medicine, - autonomous non-profit organization (CBM), - was founded by A.V.Skalny in 1995 that is the unique scientific-methodical Center for problems of applied medicine elementology in RF and UIS. On the 19 of January, 2001 "Russian Society of Medicine Elementology" (RUSTEM) was founded to provide the strongest evolution of trace elements paradigm. During the period from 1982 about 200 scientific articles and thesis' were published by A.V.Skalny in special issues in Russia and abroad as well as manuals and mini-monographs in problems of practical medicine elementology. A.V. Skalny with co-authors registered 3 certificates of authorship and 3 patents of RF and Ukrain in the branch of producing new biologically active compounds of trace elements (Se, Zn) to treat and make prophylaxis of human diseases, methods of treatments of zinc deficiency states, alcohol coma and schysophrenia. To date new line in medicine and ecology, - medicine elementology, - is established by A.V. Skalny in Russia and UIS and developed successfully that studies peculiarities of human organism elemental composition in different functional states and disorders and the ways to increase organism adaptative functions with the help of trace elements metabolism correction. In SMC "Element" and CBM more than 20 Ph.D.'s and 5 D.Sc.' in medicine and biology were trained who develop different applied aspects of medicine elementology in branches of perinatology, endocrinology, urology, nephrology, labour medicine, nutrition hygiene, narcology in leaders clinics of Russia, Ukrain, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan. In 1998-1999 production of new generation of effective major and trace elements' preparations (compounds with aspartic, spirulina) was organized under the methodic management of organizations headed by A.V. Skalny that awoke interest of specialists and consumers home and abroad. On April, 2003 A.V. Skalny opened the first chair of nutritiology and bioelementology in Russia and became its leader. From September, 2003 Bioelementology Institute, the first in the world, being founded by A.V. Skalny under support of Orenburg State University rectorate and RUSTEM, began its activity.
