Mount Sinai, New York
| Biography Graduated with honors in Biology, Health and Biotechnology, with specialization in pathophysiology at the Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases (Toulouse, France). My research projects dealt with different aspects of heart failure and lung diseases to identify new therapeutic targets and strategies. During my early research career, I identified new Epac inhibitors and provided new alternatives for treating patients with heart failure or cancer. I also investigated for the first time the role of Carabin in cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure and identify a new potent therapeutic target. At the Institute of Cardiology and Pneumology of Quebec (Canada), I investigated the role of the receptor RAGE in pulmonary hypertension and its signaling pathway implicated in the vascular remodeling. At the Department of Pathology at Yale University (Connecticut, United States), my expertise in cell signaling and molecular pharmacology allowed me to investigate the role of pro-survival pathways and acquired-mutations of the EZH2 gene in conferring resistance to the EZH2 inhibitors-targeted therapies in Lymphoma. More recently, I accepted a new position in the Department of Cardiology at the Cardiovascular Research Center, at Mount Sinai (NewYork, United States) and initiated my studies on the identification and characterization of innovative therapeutic targets in lung diseases. I have been invited to critically review research articles submitted to many acclaimed "high-impact” journals, which all are internationally-renowned journals and very highly influential in cardiovascular research. I have been also providing peer review comments for internationals journal focusing on lung cancer research and the identification of therapeutic targets. Research Interest My specific research areas are focused on vascular physiopathology and somatic gene transfer for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), lung fibrosis and heart failure. Despite extensive research efforts in experimental and clinical studies, PAH and lung fibrosis remain an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality. There is a compelling need to develop more effective and reliable therapeutic. Therefore, my current research interest includes: 1. Regulation of gene-expression in PAH. 2. Identification of novel therapeutic strategies in Pulmonary fibrosis by using targeted-gene therapy. 3.Role of SERCA2a and its signaling pathways in vascular remodeling diseases and heart failure. |  |

Oswaldo Cruz Institute-Fiocruz, Brazil
| Biography Paulo Renato Zuquim Antas is a Professor of Biology and an Associate Researcher. He completed both Msc and PhD at Oswaldo Cruz Institute, FIOCRUZ, Brazil, He is also working as Editorial Board member and Reviewer for scientific journals. His wrote Book chapters and e books. In the last 5 years, he has been working in a group that develops research on the field of clinical immune response of vaccinations against human Tuberculosis (TB), especially for cellular immunology area. Most of his scientific time is currently dedicated to study several aspects of the immune response in TB, such as the involvement of inflammatory cytokines, and the T cells on the immune response to mycobacterium as a whole. As a result, he has accumulated significant data and thus experience in this field. He spent time working in projects related to cytokine detection in patients with prior (cured) extra pulmonary TB, comparing them to those responses among persons with either pulmonary or latent infection. Therefore, accumulated data have shown defects in resting cytokine production, and have also noted lower CD4 counts in HIV-seronegative patients. Primarily, these results provide evidence of defects in innate immune responses and the group published a paper raising the hypothesis of possible genetic predisposition to these immunologic defects. This work in genetics has provided him with yet another laboratory skill set that has been complementing the skills he has gained in TB immunology thus far. Also, he has been working on innate immune response against TB in individuals naturally exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the Laboratory of Clinical Immunology (FIOCRUZ) since 2007. Particularly, he often master techniques of cell culture, flow cytometry, western-blotting, ELISA, ELISPOT and Luminex, in which he is sure would share knowledge with others investigators regarding courses to the students.
