Morten Wahrendorf works at the Institute for Medical Sociology of the University Düsseldorf, Germany, where he leads the working group on “Work & Health”. He has previously worked at the International Centre For Life-course Studies in Society and Health (ICLS) at University College London. His main research areas are work stress, health inequalities, life course epidemiology, ageing, and the comparative analyses of longitudinal cohort studies. He leads several projects that investigates both individual and national predictors of working conditions across the life course and their long-term effects on health at older ages. His research expertise spans different disciplines-including public health, epidemiology, statistics and sociology.

Tarani Chandola is a Professor of Medical Sociology. He is the head of the department of Sociology and the director of the Methods Hub in the Faculty of the Social Sciences at the University of Hong Kong. He joined the University of Hong Kong in August 2021 and was formerly the head of department of Social Statistics at the University of Manchester. His research is primarily on the social determinants of health, focusing on health inequalities and psychosocial factors, social-biological research and the analysis of longitudinal cohort studies.

Alexis Descatha is a Professor in Occupational Health in Paris then in Angers (Western of France),  at University of Angers/ Inserm Irster/Ester, and lead the Clinical Toxicological Unit - Poison Control Center, in university hospital of Angers. His research focuses on the epidemiology of work disorders, musculoskeletal and other chronic diseases. He has interest on exposure assessment using a job exposure matrix and on performing systematic reviews. As emergency physician, he also conducts research on emergencies in occupational settings and created the ICOH’s scientific committee on Emergency Preparedness and Response, and involved in ICOH as board member in 2022-24. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Les Archives des Maladies Professionnelles et de l’Environnement. Recently, he was appointed Clinical Professor of Occupational Medicine, Epidemiology and Prevention at Hofstra School of Medicine, USA.
