Veterinary pathology as a useful tool for the development of new vaccines and treatments against respiratory viral pathogens.

The objective of this line of research is focused on the histopathological evaluation and categorization of lesions caused by viral pathogens (SARS-CoV-2, MERS virus, influenza virus) in the respiratory tract in murine models. It also focuses on the development, standardization and implementation of immunohistochemical techniques for the in vivo evaluation of the presence and distribution of these viral pathogens in the respiratory tract and their role in the pathogenic mechanisms of injury. These tools will contribute to the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of new vaccines and treatments.
