Dr. Christian García-Sepúlveda
Christian holds a medical degree from Universidad Autonoma de Coahuila. He
studied his PhD at the Anthony Nolan Research Institute,
Royal Free Hospital and University College London. He has developed
molecular tools for the study of HLA-DR, MICA/B and KIR genes
and worked towards developing molecular methods for work with blood-borne
viral pathogens such as Hepatitis B and C virus (HBV, HCV) and Human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV). He is currently involved in the assessment
of the regional burden posed by arthropod, bat-borne and rodent-borne exotic
viral pathogens (ZIKV, CHIKV, DENV, RABV, Hantavirus, Arenavirus and Coronavirus).
He is currently princpal investigator at the Viral & Human Genomics Lab at
UASLP's School of Medicine. |
| Dr. Sandra E. Guerra Palomares
Sandra holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the Universidad Autonoma de
San Luis Potosí (UASLP) Chemical Sciences School. Her work on Blood-borne pathogen
genomics, molecular epidemiology and molecular methods earned her an MSc on Basic
Biomedical Sciences from the Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosí, Faculty of
Medicine. Her PhD project focused on characterising the genomic diversity and
functional relevance of HIV Vif accessory protein as well as in the study of
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genetic diversity. She is currently an associate
researcher at the Viral & Human Genomics Lab at UASLP's School of Medicine. |

training from University of Connecticut School of Medicine, subspecialty
training in Pediatric Infectious Diseases from Baylor College of Medicine
and both a masters and doctoral degree from the Basic Biomedical Sciencies
program of UASLP's School of Medicine. He is mainly involved in the study
of respiratory viral pathogen epidemiology and of innate immune responses
against viral pathogens. He is currently the Principal Investigator of the
Virology Laboratory at UASLP's School of Medicine Microbiology Department. |
| Dr. Juan Carlos Cuevas Tello
Juan Carlos obtained a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from UASLP's
Faculty of Engineering, a Masters degree in Computer Science from UNAM, a PhD on
Computer Science from Birmingham University and a Post-doc from ITESM Monterrey.
He is a member of the Inteligent Systems Strategic Focus Research Group. He is
a research collaborator of the Viral & Human Genomics Lab where he heads the team
applying artificial intelligence algorithsm to the analysis of genetic data. He
is a close collaborator of the Viral & Human Genomics Lab. |
