Dr. Mauricio Comas-Garcia is a Professor of Biology at the University of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. He holds a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles. His research interests include the how viruses remodel cells, and the physical interactions that control assembly and genome packaging of RNA viruses. Dr. Comas-Garcia has published over 20 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and co-edited two books. His research activities focus on the assembly, genome packaging, and generation of virus-like-particles of viruses such as Zika, Chikungunya, and SARS-CoV-2.Dr. Sergio Rosales-Mendoza is a Professor of Biotechnology at the University of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. He holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, and his research interests include developing innovative vaccines by applying rational antigen design approaches and using innovative expression hosts and advanced antigen delivery vehicles. Dr. Rosales-Mendoza has published over 150scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals (H index: 32) and edited/written four books. In addition, he has trained several Ph.D. and postdoctoral fellows. Viral diseases had been a main target in Dr. Rosales´ research activity, with an interest in developing attractive vaccine prototypes against HIV, CHIKV, ZIKV, and SARS-CoV-2.
