Professor Fleming is a direct descendant of Rollo. He was born in Cedar Falls, IA and received his Doctorate in Particle Physics through the JFK administration. He has additional degrees in Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Medicine and Law. He is specifically trained as a Nuclear and Preventive Cardiologist in addition to Nuclear Imaging. He is one of three Physicians in the world Certified in PET Imaging and the only American. He is the founder of the theory of "Inflammation and Heart Disease" and is considered by many to be the Father of Modern Nuclear Cardiology and Nuclear Medicine since his development of the first truly quantitative AI system for detection and treatment monitoring of Heart Disease & Cancer. He has published more than 150 papers in the field, reviews for more than a dozen peer reviewed medical journals, has published three books, 8 chapters in medical textbooks and been Editor-in-Chief of the medical textbook "Establishing Better Standards of Care in Doppler Echocardiography, Computed Tomography and Nuclear Cardiology."

Dr Leandro Castellano is Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry at the University of Sussex in Brighton, and honorary Senior Lecturer at Imperial College London (UK). He obtained a PhD in 2007 at the University “La Sapienza”, Rome, working on the role of microRNAs in solid and liquid cancers. He then moved to Imperial College the same year where he identified for the first time that microRNAs can be regulated by oestrogen receptor alpha (ER-alpha) in ER positive breast cancer which in turn, modulate ER-alpha itself. This regulative miRNA-mRNA network forms a negative feedback loop crucial for breast cancer progression. His research interest focuses on the role of short and long non-coding RNAs in the progression of breast, pancreatic and other solid cancers. He published several articles reporting finding on the role of non-coding RNAs in these diseases using high-throughput sequencing technologies for global discoveries.
