Gustavo’s Bio: I completed my PhD in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Program at the Federal University of Parana (UFPR – Curitiba, Brazil). My PhD research focused on developing new treatments based on chemically modified heparins for preventing melanoma metastatic spread in different experimental models. My projects now take advantage of multi-disciplinary approaches combining cutting edge molecular/immune/stem cell biology and systems biology to build on and create innovative solutions for complex clinical challenges.
Timothy’s Bio: I graduated from the University of Otago in New Zealand in 2014 with a BSc with Honours and MSc majoring in Immunology. I then moved to Melbourne (2014 to 2019) to work as a Flow Cytometry technician at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, where I acquired extensive experience in complex FACS sorting and multi-parametric analysis in multiple flow cytometry platforms. At the end of 2019, I moved to UQDI’s Translational Innate Immunotherapy Laboratory (TI2, headed by Dr. Fernando Guimaraes) to begin my PhD, where we take advantage in the parallels between cancer and infection-mediated immunosuppression. Specifically, I focus in discovering new potential immunotherapeutic interventions to treat persistent bacterial infections.
