Fernando G Noriega is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida International University. His research group employs an integrative approach that combines experiments at the organismal, cellular and molecular level to understand the regulation of Juvenile Hormone (JH) synthesis in mosquitoes. By integrating metabolomics, genomics and proteomics tools, he is uncovering that mosquito regulation of hormone synthesis has unique features that are related to the adaptation to blood-feeding and the cyclic maturation of ovarian development.

Pedro L Oliveira is a Professor in the Instituto de Bioquímica Médica Leopoldo de Meis, Biochemistry at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His research is concentrated on the study of adaptations of blood sucking insects to hematophagy. More specifically, he focus on how these animals tolerate a high intake of heme and aminoacids that occur as a consequence of a blood meal.
