I give lectures to infectious disease fellows on intraabdominal infections, and annually invited as a faculty speaker for vascular surgeons and podiatrist on vascular infections and osteomyelitis.</p> <p>My research interest and efforts involve developing novel antiviral for the treatment of neglected and emerging viruses of global importance with special interest in dengue virus infection, hepatitis B, and more recently with SARS-CoV-2. Under the mentorship of Dr. Kirsten Lyke, I am currently working on developing dengue human challenge model for the evaluation of vaccines and therapeutics as well as in search of immune correlates of protection against this virus. In addition, I am developing humanized mice model as a platform for evaluating dengue antivirals. As part of my contribution in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, I am actively involved in clinical trials evaluating therapeutics with expertise in the study of virus neutralizing anti-spike monoclonal antibody cocktail and antivirals as SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics.</p></div>  <h2 class='h2'>Research/Clinical Keywords</h2><div><p>Dengue antiviral development and immunopathogenesis, HIV vaccine clinical trials; Viral hepatitis antiviral development, and SARS-CoV-2 antiviral development. </p></div>  <h2 class='h2'>Highlighted Publications</h2><div><p><strong>Dengue antiviral development and immunopathogenesis</strong></p> <ol> <li>Coronel-Ruiz C, Gutiérrez-Barbosa H, Medina-Moreno S, Velindia-Romero ML, <strong>Chua JV</strong>, Castellaños JE, Zapata JC.
