2	• This list aims to help interested prospective applicants from QMUL and Cornell to identify colleagues with similar research interests; it aims to facilitate potential collaborations for joint seed grant applications. • Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of possible partners. If you do not see a potential colleague's name on this list, it does not mean they are not eligible; it simply means they have not added their name to the list. This should not prevent you from reaching out to these colleagues directly. • Please add your name to the list below if you are interested in finding potential partners and check back often for updates and to identify potential collaborators. • If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at Cornell -- Sebnem Ozkan (globalhubs@cornell.edu); at QMUL -- Rachel Miles r.e.miles@qmul.ac.uk).
