Dr. Cardona's research focuses on the pathogenesis of influenza viruses in avian species, biosecurity in poultry production, and zoonotic transmission risks. Her work spans experimental virology, epidemiology, and immunology, with recent investigations extending into ferroptosis and neurodegeneration. She has contributed significantly to understanding viral replication mechanisms in pathogens like Zika and Bandavirus.
The recent publications highlight a strong trend in virology and infectious disease, particularly avian influenza and emerging zoonoses. The work integrates molecular biology, immunology, and field epidemiology, often in collaborative, multidisciplinary settings. Notably, her 2024 publications explore both poultry vaccination strategies and iron metabolism in neurodegeneration, indicating a broad and evolving research scope.
Her scientific recognition includes the Pomeroy Endowed Chair in Avian Health, a prestigious honor reflecting her contributions to veterinary science.
Dr. Cardona has been actively involved in research grants and collaborative projects, particularly in secure poultry supply systems and viral surveillance. Her advising likely includes graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, though specific names are not listed in the provided text.
