Marielena Vogel Saivish

I hold a PhD in Health Sciences with a research focus on virology and infectious diseases, particularly emerging and neglected arboviruses. I am currently a Research Fellow at the University of Texas Medical Branch, where I work on virus-host interactions, antiviral discovery, and translational research under high-containment laboratory conditions. My academic background includes extensive experience in molecular virology, immunodiagnostics, and public health-relevant research, with multiple peer-reviewed publications and editorial roles in international journals. I am especially interested in communicating science that bridges fundamental research and real-world public health impact.
