Dr. Stacey Peters is a cardiologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. She specializes in genetic cardiomyopathies. she conducted her PhD with Prof. Diane Fatkin, and her ongoing research continues to evaluate genotype-phenotype interactions and the role of environment factors in the natural history of dilated and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies.

Prof. Jeanette Schulz-Menger is a cardiologist by training and active in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) since 1996. She has a significant interest in imaging inflammatory disease, cardiomyopathies and noninvasive hemodynamics applying CMR. She has a board certification in internal medicine and cardiology followed by board certification dedicated on CMR. Since 2004 she is heading the Working Group Cardiac Magnetic Resonance at Charité Campus Buch. Furthermore, she established the department Non-Invasive Cardiac Imaging in the clinical environment. For research reasons she established a research outpatient department focusing on different kinds of cardiomyopathies. She owns a University-Professorship in Cardiology “Noninvasive Imaging focused on Cardiovascular Magnetic Reso­nance”. The research of the group is focused on clinical topics including growing interests in MR-physics. That is based on collaboration with MR scientists world wide. A special interest is research at experimental 7Tesla CMR in human. Dr. Schulz-Menger has a high interest in CMR-teaching and education. She was one of the founder and is the scientific director of the University Training Courses in Berlin. Furthermore, she is a partner of circle-institute, a company dedicated to CMR-courses. Her group was able to establish a CMR-network throughout Germany. The group has published more than 170 peer-reviewed articles. She is an elected member of the faculty council of the Charite. Dr. Schulz-Menger served on the Board of the ISMRM and was president of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR).
