I initially studied a Bachelor in Science in Nutrition and Dietetics at The Robert Gordon University (UK). Afterwards, I went on to get an MSc and a Ph.D. in Nutrigenomics from the University of the Balearic Islands (Spain), which I partly carried out at the Experimental Vascular Medicine Department at the Academic Medical Center (The Netherlands). I carried out my first postdoctoral position at Case Western Reserve University (Ohio, USA) and have recently obtained a postdoctoral scholarship to continue my research career at the Health Research Institute of the Balearic Islands (IdISBa, Hospital Universitari Son Espases, Spain). So far, my research career has mainly focused on the role of gut microbiota in energy metabolism-associated conditions, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome and cardiometabolic diseases.
Dr. Wansley earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry from Clark Atlanta University (Atlanta, Georgia, USA) and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Research from Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas, USA). His entire research career has evolved around Immunology. He completed post-doctoral training in the USA, at the National Institutes of Health (NIH/NIAID, Bethesda, Maryland), Howard University (Washington DC), and also at The Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD). Dr. Wansley has investigated a broad range of human health conditions including autoimmune disease, colon cancer, infectious diseases, and allergic inflammation. Since completing his Ph.D. studies he has contributed also to investigations related to high-throughput immunology techniques, technology commercialization, and clinical trial management. Thanks to a Reentry Fellowship of the American Association of Immunologists, Dr. Wansley started to investigate in the group Lipids in Human Pathology (2019-2020). He contributed to the development of the technique, MALDI-Imaging mass spectrometry, to comprehensively define and evaluate the lipid fingerprint of lymphocyte populations, which to date has never been done.
