Welcome to the Cáceres Lab!!

The Cáceres Lab has started in January 2025 in the Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Preventive Medicine (VMPM), College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University (Ames, IA)

We aim to improve the understanding of influenza and coronaviruses affecting humans and livestock. To achieve this, we employ a combination of classical molecular virology techniques, reverse genetics, OMICS approaches, and various in vitro and in vivo models.

Our research can potentially contribute to developing novel diagnostic tools, antivirals (viral- or host-targeted), and vaccines against different viral agents.
