Natalie Silmon de Monerri

Dr. Silmon de Monerri is a microbiologist with >15 years of experience in basic research in infectious diseases. Dr. Silmon de Monerri received her undergraduate Master’s degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Bath, United Kingdom. During her undergraduate years, she developed a passion for infectious diseases and protein biochemistry, while focusing on Staphylococcus aureus mechanisms of immune evasion. She received her PhD in Infection and Immunity in 2010 from the MRC National Institute for Medical Research in London, United Kingdom, which focused on proteases that regulate the malaria parasite life cycle. In 2011, Dr. Silmon de Monerri moved to New York for her postdoctoral training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, which focused on posttranslational modifications and epigenetic regulation using molecular and systems biology approaches in the parasite Toxoplasma gondii.
Dr. Silmon de Monerri joined Pfizer in 2017 to focus on microbial genomics and transcriptional regulation in bacterial pathogens. She has been the Molecular Biology / Microbiology team lead for Bacterial Vaccines since 2018, and leads a team of bench scientists focused on early-stage vaccine antigen development and preclinical research. Dr. Silmon de Monerri is the Research Scientific Lead for the Group B Streptococcus vaccine program, where she is responsible for leading scientific strategy as well as internal and external research projects and to support licensure of the Pfizer GBS vaccine candidate.

Aishwarya Das

Aishwarya Das


Aishwarya Das, a graduate of BE Biotechnology from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, now a Junior research fellow at Central Research Laboratory (CRL) of Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences in the field of Microbial Genomics, from a humble background in a financially disadvantaged family, Aishwarya's journey is a testament to her resilience, determination, and unwavering passion for scientific exploration.

Driven by her keen interest in Microbial Genomics, Aishwarya embarked on a project during her undergraduate studies, focusing on the genomic study of Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) organisms(ESKAPE pathogens). This project not only showcased her intellect but also highlighted her ability to navigate complex research methodologies with limited resources.

Recognizing her exceptional young talent and potential, the CRL provided Aishwarya with the necessary guidance, mentorship, and access to state-of-the-art research facilities. This support proved to be instrumental in her extensive genomic studies on Streptococcus agalactiae, where she unraveled critical insights into its genetic diversity, virulence factors, and antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

Despite the challenges she faced, Aishwarya's determination y have made her excel in her research. Her achievements, both academically and professionally, are a testament to her transformative impact on the opportunities and support provided by the CRL. Genomics is poised to make a lasting impact on scientific research and the lives of countless individuals especially in Low-Middle Income Countries

Kerstin Keller

Kerstins first C++ software project consisted of porting an MFC application to Qt. That was back in 2008, when she was still a computational engineering student at TU Darmstadt. Back then it took almost half a day to compile Qt on the lab computer, and she always hoped that she wasn't forced to use a different machine and start all over.

A bachelors, a masters degree and 7 years of work life later, the problems she faces today aren't so much different from those she first encountered during her student days.
Working in a tooling group of a research department in the automotive industry, she's trying to introduce new tools and workflows to make her fellow engineers life easier.

Projects in the past years included porting a large scale project from Visual Studio first to CMake, then to Linux. Setting up CI toolchains for automated build and deploy processes. And currently introducing Conan as a C++ dependency management system to simplify build, development and deploy workflows across multiple operating systems and system architectures.
