He first identified T lymphocyte subpopulations in humans and these studies laid the foundations for understanding the diseases affecting the immune system such as immunodeficiencies and autoimmune diseases. The publication of this research was identified as “citation classic” in the Current Contents Life Science (vol. 28, n. 50, December 16, 1985). He has often been invited individually to propose nominations for the Nobel prize for Medicine and Physiology and for other prestigious international prizes. The research laboratory directed by Professor Moretta carries out basic and applied research in the area of tumor immunology, bone marrow transplantation to cure high risk acute leukemias and selected immunodeficiencies. Research studies are mainly focused on human T lymphocytes and NK cells. A fundamental contribution of the Laboratory directed by Professor Moretta, in close collaboration with the Laboratory directed by Alessandro Moretta, Professor of Histology at the University of Genoa, is the definition of the mechanisms regulating NK cell function (tumor cell killing) thanks to the discovery of inhibiting receptors specific for HLA class I molecules (named KIR) and of receptors responsible for NK cell activation and for induction of tumor cell killing processes. The genes coding for these receptors were cloned in the Laboratory of Professor Moretta. Overall, 15 new receptor molecules were identified and cloned by his research group. Following the discovery of NK receptors by the Moretta’s group, preclinical and clinical studies revealed the major role of NK cells (and of KIR-HLA-class I mismtaches) in the eradication of acute myeloid leukemias in the haploidentical bone marrow transplantation setting. Prof. Moretta and coworkers showed that this approach is particularly efficient also in pediatric patients with high risk (otherwise fatal) acute leukemias, thanks to the definition of a suitable approach allowing the selection of the most appropriate (haploidentical) donors. Overall, the discoveries of Professor Moretta and his collaborators had a considerable impact on cancer research, because of their well established applications to immunotherapy of leukemias and, possibly, of solid tumors, and won Professor Moretta prestigious international prizes. Prof. Moretta has been invited as a speaker or session chairman in more than 400 international and national meetings and seminars, including plenary sessions. </span> </div> </div> <div class="row border-all border-color-blue padding-15px-tb margin-30px-bottom"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 team-block text-left team-style-1 sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <figure> <div class="team-image xs-width-100"> <a href="#"><img src="https://aicmcb2025.synergiasummits.com/storage/speakers/1712212624.jpg" alt="" data-no-retina=""></a> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="col-md-9 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-left sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <div class="font-size-26px font-weight-600 text-extra-dark-gray">Prof. Russel J.

Cyert Professor of Molecular Oncology, in the Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology, and a member of the Molecular Biophysics & Structural Biology Graduate faculty. Dr. Van Houten and Dr. Patty Opresko co-lead the Genome Stability Program at the UPMC-Hillman Cancer Center, where they oversees a group of 36 faculty studying mechanisms of genome stability and cancer.<br /> <br /> Dr. Van Houten received his Bachelor’s degree from Clarion University and his Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee at the Oak Ridge Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in 1984. Ben did his postdoctoral training with Professor Aziz Sancar who was recognized with a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2015 for his mechanistic insights into DNA repair. Prior to moving to the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Van Houten was the Chief of the Program Analysis Branch in the Division of Extramural Research and Training and Senior Investigator in the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics in the Division of Intramural Research at National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, NIH from 1999-2008. While at the NIEHS, Dr. Van Houten helped develop a publication tracking system, Scientific Publication Information Retrieval and Evaluation System (SPIRES), which is now used in NIH RePORTER. He was recognized with five NIH Merit Awards, and a NIH Director’s Award, and for his service to science was awarded a Medal of Science by the Slovak Academy of Sciences in 2008, the same year he moved the University of Pittsburgh.<br /> <br /> Dr. Van Houten’s laboratory is doing cutting-edge research in two fundamental areas of biology, namely, how cells maintain genome integrity and generate energy. More specifically, his group studies the structure and function of DNA repair enzymes at the single molecule level, and the role of mitochondria in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Van Houten’s laboratory is currently supported by a NIEHS Revolutionizing Innovative Visionary Environmental health Research (RIVER) Award R35 ES031638 which uses state-of-the-art single molecule approaches, including atomic force microscopy and real-time fluorescence microscopy to follow fluorescently tagged-DNA repair molecules as they interrogate DNA for structural alternations in real time. The long-term goal of this project is to watch multiple protein machines do work on DNA at the single molecule level in purified systems, nuclear cell extracts and in living cells. To this end, his laboratory has developed a new method of single molecule analysis using nuclear extracts (Single-Molecule Analysis of DNA-binding proteins from Nuclear Extracts, SMADNE) and a Lumicks C-trap, purchased through a S10 large equipment grant, which combines optical tweezers, a five-chamber microfluidic flow cell and a three-color confocal microscope to follow multiple proteins interacting at sites of DNA damage (Nucleic Acids Research, 2023). His group are only one of ~50 sites in the US that has access to this state-of-the-art instrument, which has opened new avenues of study for research groups at the University of Pittsburgh. Using this new SMADNE technique his group has characterized 30 different repair proteins or variants over the past two years. He is also supported by a collaborative R01 on DNA Ligase 3 with Professor Alan Tomkinson (Univ. of New Mexico). One collaborative project Drs. Patty Opresko, Simon Watkins, and Ed Burton and seeks to understand how singlet oxygen damage targeted to either the mitochondria or telomeres can have reciprocal effects on each other. This approach is being used to examine the fate of 8-oxoG lesions at telomeres and the role of ROS damage in a zebrafish model of Parkinson’s disease.<br /> <br /> Dr. Van Houten has trained 45 postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. He holds four patents (three additional applications are pending), and has authored over 275 scientific articles, co-edited a book on DNA damage recognition, a volume of single-molecule techniques in DNA repair, and has also published 28 book chapters and reviews. He has chaired Gordon Conferences on Genetic Toxicology and Oxidative Stress and disease. He has served as Chair of the NIH Cancer Etiology study section panel. His Web of Science, H-index is 76, with an average of 6.5 publications per year, since his first publication in 1982. Dr. Van Houten currently serves, with Dr. Penny Jeggo, as the Co-Editors in Chief for DNA Repair. </span> </div> </div> <div class="row border-all border-color-blue padding-15px-tb margin-30px-bottom"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 team-block text-left team-style-1 sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <figure> <div class="team-image xs-width-100"> <a href="#"><img src="https://aicmcb2025.synergiasummits.com/storage/speakers/1712831451.jpg" alt="" data-no-retina=""></a> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="col-md-9 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-left sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <div class="font-size-26px font-weight-600 text-extra-dark-gray">Prof. Boris Zhivotovsky</div> <div class="text-medium font-weight-500 text-dark-gray">Karolinska Institute, Sweden</div> <div class="text-extra-large font-weight-500 text-blue margin-10px-top margin-20px-bottom">Title: <font class="text-light-blue text-italic">Will be updated soon</font></div> <span class="more"> Prof. Boris Zhivotovsky holds a Ph.D. (1975) and a Dr. Sci (1989) from the Leningrad Institute of Radiobiology.

After building a successful career for more than 10 years in the industry, D/Prof Hutmacher decided to pursue his long-term aspiration to foster a legacy in academia. He was awarded his PhD in 2001 at the age of 38. Hence, his academic career is less than 25 years young, yet he is one of the world's most highly cited researchers with substantial influence across interdisciplinary research fields. In 2018, he was awarded the Ramaciotti medal for excellence in biomedical research and granted a Humboldt LifeTime Research Award while being listed as one of the 10 scientists/bioengineers (and the only non-US academic) who will shape the Biofabrication landscape in 2019 in a survey report of the world-leading Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute. He is a “Highly Cited Researcher” (Clarivate Analytics). His direct research contributions leading to pre-eminent international standing and impact is illustrated by his publication record </span> </div> </div> <div class="row border-all border-color-blue padding-15px-tb margin-30px-bottom"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 team-block text-left team-style-1 sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <figure> <div class="team-image xs-width-100"> <a href="#"><img src="https://aicmcb2025.synergiasummits.com/storage/speakers/1728103079.png" alt="" data-no-retina=""></a> </div> </figure> </div> <div class="col-md-9 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 text-left sm-margin-two-bottom xs-margin-20px-bottom wow fadeInRight"> <div class="font-size-26px font-weight-600 text-extra-dark-gray">Prof. Darren Griffin</div> <div class="text-medium font-weight-500 text-dark-gray">University of Kent, UK</div> <div class="text-extra-large font-weight-500 text-blue margin-10px-top margin-20px-bottom">Title: <font class="text-light-blue text-italic">Cytogenetics of Early Human Development Including Diagnosis in IVF</font></div> <span class="more"> Professor Darren Griffin received his BSc and DSc degrees from the University of Manchester and his PhD from University College London. After postdoctoral stints at Case Western Reserve University and the University of Cambridge he landed his first academic post at Brunel University, before settling at the University of Kent, nearly 20 years ago. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists, the Royal Society of Biology and the Royal Society of Arts and is President of the International Chromosome and Genome Society. A world leader in cytogenetics, he performed the first successful cytogenetic PGT and played a significant role in the development of Karyomapping, an approach he now applies to cattle and pigs. He has co-authored ~350 scientific publications, mainly on the cytogenetics of reproduction and evolution, recently providing insight into the karyotypes of dinosaurs. He is a prolific science communicator, a part time TV presenter and an enthusiastic proponent of interdisciplinary research endeavour. He has supervised over 45 PhD students to completion and his work appears consistently in the media. He has run a vibrant research group including a programme of externally supervised students and maintains commercial interests relating to the outcomes of research findings. </span> </div> </div>
