Dr. Aguilar-Carreno (publication name Hector C. Aguilar) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Cornell University since July 2017. He started his own research laboratory as an Assistant Professor at the Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health at Washington State University (WSU). He received a B.S. degree in Biochemical Engineering from Instituto Tecnologico de Tepic, Mexico. He then immigrated to the USA and obtained a M.S. degree in Biology from California State University, Los Angeles, and a PhD degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from University of Southern California. He received post-doctoral training in Virology at University of California, Los Angeles, under the mentoring of Dr. Benhur Lee. At UCLA he helped identify the cell receptors for Nipah virus (NiV) and Hendra virus (HeV) and began to establish important tools to study NiV and HeV entry into mammalian host cells, as well as viral assembly/exit from infected cells. He is known for adopting technologies previously foreign to the field of Virology to the study of enveloped viruses, including Raman Spectroscopy, Super-resolution Microscopy, and Flow Virometry.
