My research interests is focused on the area of Animal Health, (bovine species) and the control of viral diseases. I have acquired theoretical and practical knowledge related to the subjects and I had the opportunity to learn different techniques, such as cell culture management, viral titrations, protein quantification using commercial kits, flow cytometry, purification of cells from peripheral blood bovine, western blot protein detection, RNA quantification by real-time PCR among others. I am also interested in learning new experimental techniques and acquiring new theoretical knowledge related to immunology-vaccinology.
