Biography:

Cesar Lopez-Camacho holds a PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Manchester, UK. He has postdoctoral experience in molecular biology and fidelity of gene expression in hematopoietic lineages  from UMASS Med School/UVM College of Medicine, USA.  He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in Vaccine Development at the Jenner Institute.  
 
As a researcher in vaccinology at the Jenner Institute, located at the University of Oxford, his main role is to identify potential emerging arboviruses and to develop vaccines for Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya and Mayaro, which two of these have now progressed to Phase I clinical trials.
 
In parallel, he contributes to foster and establish collaborative networks across the UK and worldwide and I have constructed novel vaccines not only limited to arboviruses but for Chagas, Malaria, and HPV vaccines.  
 
His experience comprises the use of DNA-based, non-replicative viralvectored vaccines (Adenovirus and MVA), VLP and subunit vaccines.
