      <image:caption>Leonardo M. R. Ferreira, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology and Immunology and, by courtesy, of Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology at the Medical University of South Carolina and the Hollings Cancer Center. He holds a B.Sc. in biochemistry from University of Coimbra, Portugal, a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard University, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. Fascinated by the phenomenon of immune tolerance, his long term goal is to control how the immune system defines self and non-self. Such knowledge will allow the design and development of powerful new engineered immune cell therapies to fight autoimmune disease, cancer, and aging.</image:caption>

While at UF, he also worked under Dr. Steven Bruner to elucidate the structure of clinically relevant SRP54 mutant proteins by x-ray crystallography. After graduating, he joined Dr. Hong Qin’s lab at Mayo Clinic Florida, where he helped develop novel CAR-T cell therapies by performing lentivirus plasmid cloning and in vivo animal studies. He joined the Ferreira Lab in 2026 and is interested in tailoring genetic modifications to improve CAR-based cellular therapies for the solid tumor microenvironment, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases. Andrew enjoys reading, baking, surfing, comedy podcasts and hanging out with his beagle.</image:caption>

Avik completed his B.Sc. at the University of Calcutta and M.Sc. at the Banaras Hindu University in Zoology. He earned his Ph.D. in Immunology from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, under the supervision of Prof. Dipankar Nandi (who graduated with a PhD from the lab of Nobel laureate J. P. Allison). Avik’s doctoral research focused on the metabolic responses of tumor cells to interferon-gamma, a critical determinant in immunotherapy outcomes. Furthermore, his investigations led to the discovery of novel anti-inflammatory compounds identified through high-throughput screening against interferon-gamma-induced nitric oxide production. Avik has been recognized with numerous accolades, including the Sun Pharma Science Foundation Science Scholar Award 2023 in Pharmaceutical Sciences. Currently, his research as a postdoctoral scholar is dedicated to advancing precise and effective immunotherapy strategies targeting challenging cancers and inflammatory diseases. Avik aspires to establish himself as an independent researcher, fostering interdisciplinary collaborations to innovate solutions in disease biology.</image:caption>
