Prof. Marco Zedda has been graduated cum Laude in Veterinary Medicine, University of Sassari, in 1989, and he’s authorized for veterinary profession. He has been technical officer in the Institute of Anatomy of domestic animals of the University of Sassari since 1990, and researcher since 1992. From 2002, he is associate professor in the Veterinary Anatomy. He is a component of the Archaeological Sciences School of Specialization of the University of Cagliari. His zooarchaeological research activity is oriented to reconstruct morphological features of animals lived in the past and in order to understand relationships between humans and animals through the time. Both prehistoric (Neolithic and Eneolithic), than protohistoric (Nuragic, Phoenician, Punic and Roman sites) archaeological sites have been studied. He took part of a few activities abroad, for example excavations in Minorca and Tunisia. He could set up a laboratory equipped for ancient DNA studies supported by funding contributions, and he could create a research team, formed by colleagues, fellows, grant recipients, PhD students, with the objective to deepen the knowledge of domestic animals evolution history in Mediterranean islands. He’s a scientific collaborator for Archaeological Superintendence of Sardinia, analyzing faunistic materials of their archaeological excavations. He’s a member of CIAIMO (Interdepartmental Center for Archaeology of West Mediterranean Islands), CIRTEBEC (Interuniversity Center of Cultural Heritage Technology Research) and LaPArs (Prehistory and Experimental Archaeology Laboratory). His scientific production is attested by 170 works: 52 scientific journal articles, 107 congress proceedings, 9 book chapters, 2 curatorship.

Dr. Irina A. Koretsky, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), is an Associate Professor of Anatomy in the Laboratory of Evolutionary Biology, College of Medicine, Howard University, Washington, D.C., USA. She got her B Sc in Biology, M Sc in Vertebrate Zoology, and Ph.D. in Anatomy. Dr. Koretsky is an internationally-known paleobiologist and authority on the fossil record of the mammalian Family Phocidae (true seals). In a research career spanning more than thirty years, including extensive field and museum studies in the former Soviet Union, eastern and Western Europe, and eastern North America, she has established herself as the world’s leading expert on fossil seals of the Paratethyan (Eurasia), Mediterranean, and North Atlantic regions. Her peer-reviewed publications on this topic include two major published monographs. Dr. Koretsky’s research involves anatomy, paleobiogeography, functional morphology, and systematic analysis of true seals (Mammalia; Carnivora; Phocidae). She is pursuing two lines of research: (1) functional morphology, with emphasis on evolutionary and geographic origin of the seals; (2) determining whether the origin of pinnipeds is monophyletic or diphyletic. Most of her research effort is devoted to biomechanical and ecological interpretations of morphological characters of fossil seals. Morphological interpretation can provide a foundation for paleoecological reconstructions. Conversely, information on the environment in which early seals evolved is very important for pinniped systematics and classification. In addition to her current projects describing new fossil seals from the U.S. and Europe, Dr. Koretsky is working on a new phylogenetic analysis addressing the issue of pinnipeddiphyly/monopyly. This is the single most controversial issue in the entire realm of mammalian inter ordinal relationships.

Dr McGrew earned her B.S. in Biology and Chemistry from Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina. She later entered the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program (IGP) and earned a Ph.D. from the Pharmacology Department at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee in 2002. Dr McGrew’s doctoral research focused on the role of serotonin in mood disorders. She joined the Biology Department at Belmont University in August of 2003, where she continues to conduct research exploring the role of serotonin and other neurochemicals on behavior. Most of her studies utilize zebrafish as a model organism. Zebrafish can be trained to solve a variety of mazes and can therefore be used for studies of learning and working memory. Further, because the fish absorb chemicals from the water in which they are housed, they can easily be exposed to drugs or neurochemicals. In addition to conducting research, Dr McGrew teaches courses in Human Anatomy & Physiology, Pharmacology and Neurobiology and was promoted to the rank of Full Professor in 2015.
