About the Authors

Jeffrey K. Actor, PhD, holds the title of professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School at Houston Texas. Dr. Actor received his PhD from the University of Massachusetts. His research interests include examination of host immune responses during parasitic disease, understanding proinflammatory and regulatory cytokines during infections, vaccine development, and molecular mechanisms of immunomodulation. Over the past 25 years, he has established himself as a productive educator-scientist (tenured, full Professor) with a strong background in immunology and molecular biology, with a broad range of expertise in pathobiology and clinical disease.

Dr. Keri Csencsits-Smith, PhD is an assistant professor at the McGovern Medical school at the Univ, of Texas Houston Health Science Center. She has an extensive research background in translational immunology studies, including work transplantation, blood disorders, and neurodegeneration, and has co-authored 22 peer-reviewed publications and two invited reviews. For the past 10 years she has been involved in the teaching and development of basic histology and pathobiology, and immunology courses for medical, dental, and graduate students.
