Prof. Dr. Niels Olsen Saraiva Câmara is a Physician specialized in the study of inflammatory diseases, mainly renal diseases, autoimmune diseases and cancer. He graduated in Medicine by the Federal University of Ceara (1991) and made a specialization in Nephrology at the Federal University of Sao Paulo (1992-1995). He received his PhD in Medicine from the Federal University of São Paulo in 2000 working to understand the role of endothelium in activation of T cells. After that, he spent three years (2000/2003) as a Research Fellow at the Imperial College London, London, UK. During this time, he worked regulatory T cells and several projects on immune regulation. Afterwards, he became Professor in the Department of Immunology at the University of São Paulo. He is currently Full Professor of Immunology at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at the University of São Paulo, where he is the Head of the Laboratory of Transplantation Immunobiology. His current research focus on the role of new factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, such as microbiota, cell metabolism and immune cell plasticity.

Prof. Andrade-Oliveira is a biologist interested in studying the immunometabolism at the host-microorganisms interaction. He completed his PhD in immunology at University of Sao Paulo with a trainee period at Johns Hopkins University where he experienced the study of the metabolism of T cells. He is an ex-PEW Latin American Fellow at NIAID/NIH where he studied the role of host metabolism after acute gastrointestinal infections. Currently, he is head of the Immunometabolism at host-microorganism interactions at the UFABC where his mainly interests are immunometabolism of immune cells, microbiota, infections and host physiology.Pedro M M Moraes Vieira is a doctor of veterinary medicine by the University of Brasilia and a PhD in immunology by the University of Sao Paulo. Currently he is Associated Professor of Immunology at the University of
