Casper Kornbech Larsen is a postdoc in team 14 “Genetic mechanisms of aldosterone related disorders” at the Paris Cardiovascular Research Center. He is currently working on developing methods to isolate DNA and RNA from circulating extracellular vesicles for use in detection of primary aldosteronism
He has studied biology at Aarhus University (Denmark) and received his Master Degree in 2011 and his PhD in 2015 from the Institute of Biomedicine at Aarhus University. The topic of his Master project was to explain why erythrocytes from ball pythons (python regius) are resistant to haemolysis by the poreforming toxin α-hemolysin from E. coli. In his PhD project, he studied the effect of ablation of the KCNMB2gene on renal and colonic potassium excretion in a mouse model. He joined the team of Maria-Christina Zennaro in April 2016.

Anthony Stell, Clinical Informatics Developer
University of Melbourne
Anthony Stell is a clinical informatics developer in the eResearch group at the University of Melbourne. In this role he is responsible for the project management and technical development of several advanced registries supporting clinical research in various domains such as adrenal cancer, spinal trauma and traumatic brain injury. He is the senior software developer for the ENSAT registry, which is a unique, well-used (with 76 active centers), security-focused resource for adrenal cancer, with advanced features to support statistical and bio-banking analyses for a diverse set of studies. Within ENSAT-HT Anthony is the senior technical developer for WP1 and will provide technical support and assistance for the underlying IT infrastructure.
Anthony worked formerly as a Grid Engineer at the UK National e-Science Centre at the University of Glasgow where he developed distributed, real-time clinical systems to support brain-injury studies in Europe (the Avert-IT project) and epidemiological trials in the UK (the VOTES project). During this time he also served as a member of the Grid Engineering Task Force (Grid ETF, UK).
He is currently in the final year of a PhD in Clinical Physics at the University of Glasgow studying clinical variation and guideline adherence in traumatic brain injury through neurological ICU data analysis. He has an MSc in Information Technology from the University of Glasgow, an MPhys in Astrophysics from the University of Edinburgh, and is a Chartered Member of the British Computing Society (CITP MBCS). He has over 40 peer-reviewed publications across a range of computing and application-specific domains.
