Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Ferreri is a virologist and molecular biologist with a PhD and nine years of postdoctoral and instructor experience translating viral genomics into vaccine and surveillance solutions. Based at Emory University, he leads multidisciplinary projects using next-generation sequencing, virus barcoding, and CRISPR-engineered cell lines to dissect influenza A evolution across avian, swine, and mammalian hosts. He has designed and evaluated live attenuated vaccine candidates, coordinated BSL-3 animal studies, and co-led international sequencing efforts that improved detection of avian influenza in wild reservoirs. A proven mentor and team leader, he has supervised more than ten junior scientists and streamlined workflows that accelerate biologics development. Less obvious: his background spans field surveillance in Latin America through to lab-based reverse genetics, giving him rare end-to-end perspective on influenza emergence and mitigation.
