Helder Nakaya is an assistant professor at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. His lab is focused on investigating the basis of infectious diseases using computational systems biology. He is also an adjunct professor at Emory University School of Medicine, USA. With a PhD in Molecular Biology and extensive training in Bioinformatics, he became an expert in Systems Vaccinology, an interdisciplinary field that combines systems-wide measurements, networks, and predictive modeling in the context of vaccines and infectious disease. Dr. Nakaya has developed systems biology approaches to understand and predict the mechanisms of vaccine induced-immunity for Yellow Fever, seasonal Influenza, Meningococcal, Shingles, malaria, and Tularemia vaccines.
