Katherine Calderón Mayo is a virologist at the Molecular Biotechnology and Genomics Laboratory, FARVET S.A.C. in Peru. Over the past ten years, her research has focused on the molecular biology of Newcastle disease virus and other negative-strand RNA viruses, including infectious bronchitis virus, avian influenza virus, and infectious bursal disease virus, as well as DNA viruses such as turkey herpesvirus and Marek's disease virus. He is currently developing vectorized vaccines using vaccine vectors such as NDV, HVT, and SB1 through reverse genetics and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology, respectively. In addition, he is working with the Newcastle disease virus as an oncolytic agent in tumor cell culture models on 2D and 3D platforms.
