Prof James Brewer
University of Glasgow
Professor James Brewer completed a Ph.D. designing novel vaccine adjuvants with Prof. Jim Alexander at Strathclyde University in 1993 and continued to work on the development and formulation of novel adjuvants for industry until 1996. He joined the Glasgow Immunology Department in 1997 with a Wellcome Career Development Fellowship, which allowed him to concentrate on the fundamental immunological problem of how adjuvants work. During his Fellowship James also worked at Washington University in St. Louis with Dr David Russell, where he developed an interest the application of microscopy and bioimaging to answer fundamental immunological problems. He was appointed as a Lecturer at Glasgow in 2001 and Senior Lecturer in 2005. In 2006 James joined the Centre for Biophotonics at the University of Strathclyde as a Reader. In 2009 he was appointed Professor in the Institute of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation at University of Glasgow.

Dr Muzlifah Hannifa
Newcastle University
Dr. Muzlifah Haniffa is a dermatologist with a research interest in immunology. Her research programme is focused on understanding the functional heterogeneity of human mononuclear phagocytes, a family of white blood cells comprising dendritic cells, monocytes and macrophages, which initiate and regulate immune responses. She has used functional genomics and comparative biology to align the human and mouse mononuclear phagocyte networks. Muzlifah's research goal is to understand how mononuclear phagocytes regulate tissue homeostasis, immunity upon vaccination and their role in disease pathogenesis. This knowledge is essential for the development of new strategies to manipulate host immune response to improve vaccination and immunotherapeutic strategies.

Prof Wolf Reik
Babraham Institute
Wolf Reik is a molecular biologist, senior group leader and associate director at the Babraham Institute, professor of Epigenetics at the University of Cambridge and associate faculty at the Sanger Institute. Wolf Reik studies how additional information can be added to the genome through a range of processes collectively called epigenetics. He discovered some of the key epigenetic mechanisms important for mammalian development, physiology, genome reprogramming, and human diseases. His early work led to the discovery that the molecular mechanism of genomic imprinting is based on DNA methylation.[2] He uncovered non-coding RNA[3] and chromatin looping[4] regulating imprinted genes, which he showed to be involved in fetal nutrition, growth, and disease.[5] He discovered epigenetic reprogramming, including active demethylation, and showed that it was faulty in reproductive cloning and affects pluripotency of embryonic stem cells.[6] He found that the environment influences epigenetic programming in embryos, with changes in gene expression persisting in adults and their offspring. -

He is currently the director of the Purdue University Cytometry Laboratories at Purdue University. -
Dr Howard Shapiro
Dr. Howard Shapiro did undergraduate work in biochemistry at Harvard and received his M.D. from New York University; he has developed and used cytometric instrumentation and methodology since the 1960s, when he and others at NIH built the first interactive computerized optical microscope. Based in Boston and consulting worldwide since 1975, he has studied lymphocyte activation and bacterial and parasite physiology and response to drugs, now devoting most of his time to designing minimalist imaging cytometers for diagnosis of infectious diseases in resource-poor environments. His textbook, Practical Flow Cytometry (4th Edition, 2003), can be downloaded from Beckman Coulter’s website.
