British-Mexican scientist at Jenner Institute, University Oxford. Developing genetic vaccines with a focus on mRNA-based vaccines. Ohtli Award Recipient.
Groundbreaking Phase 3 trial results! R21/Matrix-M #malaria vaccine shows 75% efficacy in African children, marking a major step in combating malaria. Safe, effective, and scalable - this could be a game-changer in public health.
Malaria vaccine update: New phase 3 trial data confirms uniquely high efficacy and good safety profile of the R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine in African children.
Investigators found on average a 78% efficacy over the first year.

Very pleased to be at @mrnaconference in Berlin! Katalin Kariko, a Nobel Prize laureate, set the stage for a good start of 3 days full of mRNA science and discussion.@NDMOxford@UniofOxford
Looking forward to the national Virology Congress @Viro_ConacytMX. It is great hearing about new and emerging viruses as well as building networks, ideas and collaborations.
Happy to be back at this Congress again. Looking forward to hearing about novel technologies and processes in the field of RNA and its delivery. @RNALeaders
The incidence of #dengue has grown dramatically in recent decades, esp. in the Americas.
The spike in cases in #Peru is putting a heavy burden on the health system. @WHO is supporting vector control, surveillance, clinical care, training of 6000 health workers.

Disfruté de una cálida recepción en el Buque Escuela -Cuauhtémoc-, en Londres! Fue un honor conocer a los cadetes (mujeres y hombres) de la Heroica Escuela Naval Militar. Su dedicación y disciplina son verdaderamente inspiradoras! ⚓️ @josefagbom gracias por la invitación.
Besides malaria is been around for millennia, the mechanistic biology of the parasite, its interaction with human cells, and the immune responses associated with protection are still being elucidated; below a good example. Congrats @ParasiteMatt and his team!
How does the malaria parasite, Plasmodium vivax get inside human blood cells? In this manuscript we reveal the essential interaction between the parasite PvDBP protein and the human receptor DARC. The final paper is now on line if you missed the preprint.

Dr. Ahmed Salman talks on reshaping the future of global health through the rapid development of vaccines at the 11th Annual Shaims University International in Cairo. From traditional preventive vaccines to therapeutic, the potential impact is immense @NDMOxford@JennerInstitute
Felicitaciones al Dr. José Alejandro Madrigal Fernández por ganar el Premio 2023 a la Trayectoria en Investigación! por @Fund_CarlosSlim. Su trabajo en inmunoterapia y trasplante de células madre ha sido trascendental para la terapia celular en el mundo.
I'll be speaking at the Malvern Pharma Conference on 'Building mRNA Technologies in Academia: Challenges and Opportunities.' Looking forward to sharing my experiences, discussing the latest developments, and learning from diverse perspectives.

Sergio, algo que siempre tengo presente y que me ayuda a ser mejor persona y por ende más exitoso en mi quehacer científico: La humildad es como el sol, no se apaga por la oscuridad de la noche, sino que brilla con más fuerza para iluminar el camino de los demás. @SChecoPerez
