Ignacio Lara-Hernández

Ignacio obtained his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences with Prof. Comas-Garcia. His thesis focused on understanding how the human respiratory syncytial virus modifies the mitochondria by thin-section TEM and how these alterations are related to the mechanism by which the virus escapes the immune response. Now, he is part of a CICSaB-wide project that aims at detecting by molecular biology and TEM human pathogenic viruses in water treatment plants.s

Ph.D. Students

 

Arleth Miranda-Lopez

Arleth obtained her Eng. Degree in Pharmacobiology from Oaxaca University and a .M.Sc. in the Pharmacobiologics Graduate Program at the UASLP medical school. Her thesis dissertation focuses on producing a mucosal vaccine against ZIKV. She is being co-tutored by Profs. Mauricio Comas-Garcia and Sergio Rosales-Mendoza.

​

C. Lorena Rodriguez-Salazar

Lorena obtained his B.Sc. in Biology from the Science Department at UASLP and her M.Sc. at the IPICYT. Her Ph.D. work focuses on understanding how the nuclei of turtle red blood cell morphology correlate with their health and the levels of contamination in their habitats (co-PI Prof. Vanessa Labrada-Martaón).

M.Sc. Students

​

Brianda Agundis-Tinajero

Brianda obtained her Engineer degree in Biomedicine at the Science Department at UASLP. She is an M.Sc. Life Science Master’s Program at the Science Department at UASLP. She is being co-tutored by Profs. Mauricio Comas-Garcia and Aldo Mejia-Rodriguez. She is developing software based on Artificial intelligence to find and characterize damaged mitochondrion in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells.

​

Denisse Cadena-Lopez

Denisse obtained her B.Sc. in Chemical Pharmacobiology at the Chemical Science Department at UASLP. She is currently a M.Sc. student in the Graduate Program of Life Sciences in the Science Department. Her thesis project focuses on developing a neutralizing assay for SARS-CoV-2, using a single-round replication SARS-CoV-2 VLPs that contain all the structural proteins of this virus and selectively package a self-replicating RNA. Her work is part of a collaboration with Prof. Sergio Rosales-Mendoza.

​

Miguel Ángel Coronado-Ipiña

Miguel obtained his B.Sc. in Biology at the  Science Department at UASLP. He is currently a M.Sc. student in the Graduate Program of Life Sciences in the Science Department. His thesis project focuses the budding process of CHIKV.

 

​

Karla I. Velasco-Gloria

Karla obtained her B.S. in Chemical Pharmacobiology from the Chemistry Department at UASLP. She is enrolled in the Basic Biomedical Sciences Master’s Program at the Medical School (UASLP). Her work aims at understanding the anatomical modification that high blood pressure and overweight produce in rats´ Brain-Blood-Barrier. Prof. Nadia Saderi is the leader and co-PI of Karla´s Master´s thesis and is a collaboration with Prof. Roberto C. Salgado-Delgado.

Undergraduate Students

 

Wendy Carolina Piña-Ruiz

Carolina is a freshman Biology student in the Science Department at UASLP. She is currently performing a bioinformatic analysis of the capsid protein of alphaviruses and site-directed mutagenesis to understand the assembly of alphavirus cores.

​

​

Miriam Avila-Salinas

Miriam is a senior Biology student in the Science Department at UASLP. She is currently generating different CHIKV CP mutants to try to assemble virions with unusual morphologies.

​

Magdalena Libertad Nieto-Espinosa

Miriam is a senior Biology student in the Science Department at UASLP. She is currently trying to understand how the mutation in ZIKV NS1 A188V affects the immune response in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. This is a collaboration with Prof. Adriana Monsivias-Urenda and Dr. Elena Martínez-Shio
