Alejandro Marín López

Alejandro Marín López is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Fikrig Lab. He holds a PhD in veterinary virology and specializes in vaccine development against flaviviruses like dengue and Zika, focusing on mosquito-vector interactions and host-pathogen dynamics.

Education: Bachelor of Biology (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), Master of Biotechnology (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid), PhD in Veterinary Virology (CISA-INIA, Spain).

Research Interests: Developing novel vaccines using mosquito vectors, studying immune evasion mechanisms in flaviviruses, and exploring molecular pathways in host-vector interactions. His work bridges basic science and translational medicine, with recent findings on mosquito saliva proteins' role in immune suppression.

Peer Review Activities: Regular reviewer for MDPI Journals (since 2019) and PLOS Pathogens (since 2022).
