Nuno A Silva
Nuno Silva completed his BSc in Applied Biology (2007) and received is PhD in Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells from the University of Minho in 2012. His PhD work consisted on the development of novel approaches for Spinal Cord Injury Repair (SCI) based on biodegradable materials and stem cells. His PhD was carried out in the 3B’s Research Group and in the Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research of the University of Toronto. In 2012 he started a post-doc at ICVS dedicated to study the best therapeutic combination to treat the injured spinal cord.
In 2014 he was able to capture national competitive funding and started his own lab. Currently, his team is fully focused on research about SCI, from solving fundamental questions about how SCI affect the systemic immune response to design technological advanced therapies to treat this condition. The team is presently constituted by 1 post-doctoral fellows, 1 MD-PhD student and 5 PhD students.
He is currently an author of 44 papers published in international peer-reviewed journals and is an author of two patents. Nuno Silva has currently more than 2700 citations and an h-index of 23. Additionally he is author of 7 book chapters and has more than 60 communications in national and international conferences. He supervises/supervised 25 post-graduation students. Finally, during his research career, Nuno Silva was able to capture more than two million euros of competitive funding, either in research projects (1.8M) or salary grants (438K). He was honored with international funding from the Wings For Life Foundation and the La Caixa Foundation.

Ana M Soto
Research interests: cell proliferation, breast and prostate cancer, endocrine disruptors. In collaboration with Dr. Sonnenschein she proposed the tissue organization field theory, which posits that cancer is a problem of tissue organization and that the default state of metazoan cells, like that of unicellular organisms, is proliferation. She also works on the clarification of epistemological issues arising from the study of complex biological phenomena.
