Mariano Esteban Rodríguez: Ad Honorem Research Professor at the National Centre of CSIC and Head of the Poxvirus and Vaccines group at the CNB. Mariano Esteban's research interests have focused on understanding the molecular biology of pathogens ...h as viruses, in order to develop procedures for the control of infectious diseases. His discoveries on the biology of the vaccine virus, which was used as a vaccine to eradicate smallpox, have helped him to generate new vaccines against prevalent diseases such as AIDS, Hepatitis C, Chikungunya Virus, Malaria and Leishmania, and he has been a pioneer in the field of vaccines by developing combined vector immunisation procedures (prime/boost) that increase the cellular immune response and confer protection against different pathogens. These vaccination protocols are being tested in phase I/II clinical trials against pathogens and cancer. The ultimate goal is to obtain safe and effective vaccines against various human diseases such as AIDS, Hepatitis C, Chikungunya, Ebola, Zika, Malaria, Leishmania, Alzheimer's disease and cancer. His group has generated vaccines with high efficacy (80-100%) against Ebola, Zika and Chikungunya. Recently his group is developing a vaccine against COVID-19. He has published more than 350 articles, 10 patents, 34 doctoral theses and more than 345 communications at conferences. He has been President of the Royal National Academy of Pharmacy and of the Institute of Spain, as well as a member of the WHO Scientific Advisory Committee for smallpox and other national and international organisations.
