Reinaldo Oriá is a distinguished professor in the field of Pharmacology and Infectious Diseases, with a strong focus on tissue healing mechanisms and neuroscience research. Since 2005, Oriá has served as a dedicated professor in the Department of Morphology at the Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), where he imparts his knowledge to students through teaching Human Histology and Embryology. He's been instrumental in advancing research through his involvement in the Image Processing Nucleus (NEMPI) and his role as the founder and coordinator of the Tissue Healing Biology Laboratory (LABICONTE) at the UFC Biomedicine Center.John Wesson Ashford is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist. Ashford's studies include Alzheimer's disease and its effects on human memory. Ashford is Chair of the Memory Screening Advisory Board of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, and a senior editor of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. He also serves as a Director of the War Related Illness and Injury Study Center in the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, as well as the clinical professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (affiliated) at Stanford University.Carr J Smith is part of the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics in Pacific Palisades, CA.
