Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH): Current and Future Trends

Thomas Moore, PhD, is an Infectious Disease Analyst at GlobalData in London. He received his MChem degree from the University of Sussex; where he stayed on to carry out his PhD in Chemistry under Prof. Simon Ward. Thomas’ doctoral research focused on the development of inhibitors of protein-protein interactions, and in particular the hepatitis-C NS5A protein and the PALB2/BRCA2 protein binding interface. Thomas worked both as a synthetic organic chemist in the laboratory, and as a computational chemist where he performed bioinformatical data mining, and modelled drug-protein interactions. As a doctoral student at the University of Sussex, Thomas spent one term as the elected student representative on university council, where he ensured that the students’ best interests were considered during the running of the university at the top level. Thomas also has experience tutoring high-school and college level science, including volunteering to run weekly medicinal chemistry training sessions for doctoral students over several years.

Christopher J. Pace, PhD, is the Director of Infectious Diseases at GlobalData in Boston, where he oversees the infectious diseases portfolio of syndicated market research reports. Since joining GlobalData in 2013, Dr. Pace has extensively researched and provided in-depth analysis and commentary on a wide range of topics within the infectious diseases space and across the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, with areas of expertise including hepatitis C and HIV therapeutics, vaccine R&D and immunization policy (specifically dengue, meningococcal disease, and hepatitis B), and market access strategies for antibiotics. Dr. Pace holds a PhD in Chemistry from Boston College and a BS in Chemistry from Fairfield University. Dr. Pace’s doctoral research focused on the use of unnatural amino acids as tools for examining the fundamental energetics of aromatic interactions in proteins. While at Boston College, Christopher tutored college-level chemistry and biochemistry in the greater Boston area, and he also served as the Boston College Campus Representative for the Northeastern Section Younger Chemists Committee (NSYCC).
