Dr. Juan Manuel Bello-López has a degree as a parasitologist, bacteriologist, and chemist, as well as master’s and doctor of science degrees from the National School of Biological Sciences of the National Polytechnic Institute (2000–2012). He has been a full-time medical sciences researcher at the Ministry of Health since 2013. He has directed bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral theses on antimicrobial resistance issues. He has hosted postdoctoral researchers in his laboratory for the development of advanced disinfection technologies against pneumonia-causing pathogens, including the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. His lines of research focus on the study of the molecular mechanisms involved in the acquisition of resistance to antibiotics mediated by mobile genetic elements. The purpose of his research is to advance knowledge about the genetic bases involved in multiresistance to antibiotics, as well as nonantimicrobial alternatives in pathogens that cause chronic infections. His objective is to identify and apply measures that prevent the spread of pathogens of medical interest and to control one of the main dangers to human health: antimicrobial resistance.
