Gustavo P Amarante-Mendes received his MSc and PhD in Immunology at the University of São Paulo (São Paulo, Brazil), working under supervision of Mahasti S. de Macedo. As part of the PhD program, he spent two years in Ed Potoworoski's lab, at the Institut Armand-Frappier (Montreal, Canada), working on thymocyte differentiation and apoptosis. From 1995 to 1997 he conducted postdoctoral research in Doug Green's lab, at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology (San Diego, USA), working on the molecular mechanisms that control apoptosis in cancer. In 1998 he was appointed Assistant Professor at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of São Paulo, where he became Associate Professor in 2009 and Professor of Immunology in 2013. He spent one sabbatical year between 2003 and 2004 in Seamus Martin's lab, at the Smurfit Institute of Genetics/Trinity College Dublin (Dublin, Ireland), working on proteomics of cytotoxic cell granules.
