Overview
Personal profile
My expertise is focused on studying the mechanisms that allow modulation of the immune response, particularly those associated with the induction of the cellular stress response, using both cancer and viral infection models. In the Faculty, I have supported graduate and undergraduate courses of Cancer Cell Biology and others in immunology. In the Biomedical Sciences Research Unit I support services related to the use of confocal microscopy.
