In the last 10 years I have been involved in the development and characterization of new vaccine candidates against prevalent infectious diseases using poxvirus strains.

I am a PhD researcher in the Poxvirus and Vaccine group. In 2004, I obtained my PhD degree (Universidad Autonoma de Madrid) in the field of vaccinia virus morphogenesis. In 1997, I got my graduate in Biology (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid. In the last 3 years I have been involved in the generation of more immunogenic and safer vaccine candidates against HIV using poxvirus strains.

I am a PhD researcher in the Poxvirus and Vaccine group since 2006. I obtained my PhD degree in Molecular Biology in 2003 (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) in the field of genetic variability of RNA viruses. In 1997, I got my graduate in Biology at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. In the last 2 years I have been involved in the generation of more immunogenic and safer vaccine candidates against HIV using poxvirus strains.

I am a PhD student in the Poxvirus and Vaccine group. I study the vaccinia virus-host interaction, characterising relevant celullar components that are modified during viral infection. I obtained the graduate in Biochemistry in 2006 (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid).

I am a PhD student in the Poxvirus and Vaccines group. In 2007, I got my graduate in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid. In the last 3 years I have been involved in the generation of more immunogenic and safer vaccine candidates against Leishmaniasis using poxvirus as vectors and in the characterization of replicative competent vaccinia viruses.

I am a PhD student in the Poxvirus and vaccine group. I am involved in the generation and development of new vaccine candidates against HIV using poxvirus strains. In 2008 I got my graduate in Medical Biotecnologies and Molecular Medicine at Universitá degli Studi di Bari. In 2009 I was one of fifty winners of Leonardo da Vinci scholarship Unipharma-Graduates 5 (national competition in Science field) given by Universitá degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" with Noopolis Foundation and European Commission.

I have been a PhD student in the Poxvirus and Vaccine Laboratory since August 2009. My research is focused on developing a safer and more immunogenic vaccine candidate against HIV/AIDS using Poxvirus strains. In 2008, I graduated with a double major in Biology and Biochemistry (Universidad de Salamanca) and in 2010 I received my Master degree in Molecular Biomedicine (Universidad Aut—noma de Madrid)

I am a State technician at the Poxvirus and Vaccines Group, Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CNB). I first worked as a technical specialist from 1980-1993 at the Biochemistry Department, Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, State University of New York, and then joined in 1993 the CNB where I am in charge of the Tissue Culture and Poxvirus Production Facility funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with the goal of making candidate HIV/AIDS vaccines.

I am a PhD researcher in the Poxvirus and Vaccine group. I obtained my PhD degree in Molecular Biology in 2007 (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid). In 2001 I got my Bachelor's Degree in Pharmacy at Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain. In the last 6 years I have been working on research projects involved in performing and comparing the molecular biology of different poxvirus strains and in the application of poxvirus vectors as vaccine candidates.

Since 2003 I am an associate research scientist in the Poxvirus and Vaccine Laboratory. My current work is focused on the development of poxvirus-based vaccines and evaluation of their therapeutic utility in prostate cancer. In 2002 I obtained my Master Degree in Biotechnology at Warsaw University, Warsaw, Poland. From 2001 until 2002 I performed research on cancer molecular markers as an undergraduate student in the Dept. of Molecular Biology at Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center and Institute of Oncology, Warsaw, Poland. From 2000 until 2001 I worked as an associate research scientist in the laboratory of Dr. Andrew V. Schally, a 1977 Nobel Prize winner, at the Dept. of Experimental Medicine, Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. During this time I worked on the mechanism of action of novel anticancer compounds and I contributed to several scientific publications.

I have been working in the Poxvirus and Vaccine Lab since 2001. My work is mainly related with poxvirus-host interactions using functional genomics. In 2000, I obtained my PhD degree (Universidad Autonoma de Madrid) in the field of virology. In 1995, I got my graduate in Biology (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid.

I have been a post-doctoral fellow in the Poxvirus and Vaccine Laboratory since September 2009. My work involves the study of virus-host interactions, focusing on the role of the Cellular Inhibitor of Host Defense (CIHD) molecule, P58^IPK, during poxvirus infection. I am also developing a poxvirus-based vaccine against influenza virus infection. In 2007, I received my Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of Washington while working in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Katze (Professor of Microbiology). In 2002, I received my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science from Johns Hopkins University.
