Current coordinators
M. Helena Vasconcelos (Orcid: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7801-4643) is presently Associate Professor at FFUP and Leader of the Cancer Drug Resistance Group at i3S/IPATIMUP. She is a member of the Board of GEIVEX and a Work Group Leader of COST Action CA17104. She has been working on the EV-mediated intercellular transfer of drug resistant traits between multidrug resistant cells and sensitive cells, and between macrophages and tumor cells. She is also dedicated to the identification of EV-based novel means to diagnose multidrug resistance and minimal residual disease in liquid biopsies of cancer patients.

Anabela Cordeiro-da-Silva (Orcid: http://orcid.org/0000-0003-2392-6087) is a Associate professor at FFUP and group leader at i3S-IBMC. She has been working on the role of the interaction between microorganisms (protozoa) and the immune system. Her current research interests are in the modulation of the immune responses by the extracellular vesicles (including exosomes) release by the Leishmania during infection establishment. She is also interested in the exploitation of EVs as a biomarkers for diagnosis or therapy monitorization.

Susana G. Santos (Orcid: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8604-2978) is an Assistant Investigator at i3S-INEB. She has been working on the relation between inflammation and tissue regeneration. Her current research interests are in modulating the immune and inflammatory responses to promote tissue repair/regeneration, and investigating the role of extracellular vesicles (including exosomes) in cell crosstalk during inflammation resolution and tissue regeneration.
