SKILLS
ABOUT JAVIER A. JAIMES
Veterinarian and virologist. My professional career has been focused on the study of viruses that infect humans and animals. I have 20+ years of experience investigating virus-host interactions, viral pathogenesis and viral evolution. My research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms used by enveloped viruses to enter into the host cells. I am currently studying the pathogenesis of the SARS-CoV-2 and Ebola virus. My future interests are to develop a successful career in academia and establish my own laboratory, where I plan to carry out the two activities that I enjoy most: research about viruses and mentoring future scientists. Aside of the academia, I enjoy playing video games and the drums. I also enjoy long and meaningful conversations with my friends and spending time with my wife Maria, our daughter Lucia and our cat Maximilian.
