Notre Dame Researchers to Study Cancer Immunotherapy and the Dengue Virus Vaccine

Presented by Office of Public Affairs and Communications

Two postdoctoral scholars from the University of Notre Dame have received Postdoctoral Training Awards in Translational Research from the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI). The fellowship is designed to provide an “opportunity to be mentored in research-intensive multidisciplinary settings toward the goal of developing careers in translational research.”

Recipients of the Indiana CTSI fellowship are Guido Camargo Espana, postdoctoral research associate of biological sciences, and Jesus Alonso, postdoctoral research associate of chemistry and biochemistry. Camargo Espana received his fellowship for work with Alex Perkins, Eck Family Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences at Notre Dame and affiliated member of the Eck Institute for Global Health, and Timothy Endy, professor at State University of New York. For the project, he will conduct simulation modeling to estimate dengue vaccine profiles from trial results.
