The professor is going to collaborate to write some papers regarding exchange training which was previously done. Principal activities: *A course that is going to be given as part as the "Programa de Pós-Graduação em Biociências Aplicadas à Farmácia da Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas de Ribeirão Preto - USP". This course can accept students from "Programa de Pós Graduação em Imunologia Básica e Aplicada da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto - Departamento de Bioquímica Imunologia". The aim, abstract and program details of this course are attacked. *Write/discuss the paper from scientific training which was done by Claudia da Silva Bitencourt, in the Dra. Sylvie Marleau’s Laboratory, Pharmacy Faculty, University of Montreal, May to July- (financial support 2007/04741-4);*Write/discuss the paper from scientific training which was done by Caroline Belanger in the "Laboratorio de Inflamação e Imunologia das Parasitoses; Profa. Dra. Lúcia Helena Faccioli, Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto"*Discuss about Projects under the supervision of Dra. Lucia Faccioli The researches started a scientific collaboration which has already resulted in a paper published in the Journal of Immunology (Sorgi, C.A., de Medeiros, A.I., Secatto, A., Fontanari, C., Turato, W.M.; Bélanger, C., Marleau, S., Haad Brief CV Marleau, S.K., Covas, D.T., Bozza, P.T. and Faccioli, L.H.
