Dr. Claudio Acuña

The research developed in my laboratory includes: i) the search for stress markers and the development of therapies for the control of salmonids; ii) the development of immunological therapies against cancer, through different approaches including transfection with genes of Viral proteins using nanotechnology, topical treatments for the induction of DTH response against tumors, and xenovaccines; iii) the characterization of the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with the fusion mediated by the activation of the P2X7 receptor; iv) the characterization of the role of the P2X7 receptor in the antigen cross primming and cross dressing.
