ピザロ ハビエル Javier Pizarro
I conducted my undergraduate and Master studies at Universidad de Chile, in the field of Immunology, trying to understand what role the human complement system plays in the potent immunostimulatory capacities of molluskan hemocyanins, used as adjuvants in research and vaccines. I have had the opportunity to be a part of this laboratory since April, 2019, and I want to work on bacteriophage therapy as part of my PhD studies, helping to generate more knowledge about these versatile viruses, in order to, hopefully, develop tools and strategies to tackle the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. I enjoy learning Japanese and learning about Japanese history and culture, and I also like cycling, hiking, cooking, and reading about science communication.
