About Victor Ocasio-Ramirez, PhD

Dr. Ocasio-Ramirez: Victor is a molecular biologist with an expertise in host pathogen interactions. Victor has developed imaging fluorescent assays to measure interactions between the mammalian host and the bacterial pathogen. Furthermore, throughout his career he has extensive experience with biochemical assays including protein purification, protein-protein interaction and protein structural analysis.

Repurposing immune cells to develop new therapies

For the development of new drugs and the advancement of new cell therapies, pharmaceutical companies have recurred to cytotoxicity assays as a quick way to assess the viability of cell lines in response to an external stimulus.

Cell counting: A practical guide to evaluating cell counting methods

Because there is no certified reference material to determine cell concentration, ISO cell counting standards are a valuable tool for evaluating and selecting fit-for-purpose cell counting methods.

Taking Advantage of Viral Cytopathic Effects to Aid in the Rapid Screening of Effective Viral Therapies

Virology researchers use CPE effects pathogens elicit on the host to study host-pathogen interactions.

Dissecting the Genetic Code of SARS-CoV-2 with Reverse Genetics

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased SARS-CoV-2 research globally resulting in three publicly available vaccines from Moderna, Pfizer (mRNA-based), and Johnson & Johnson (viral vector-based).
