PD Dr. Marco Alves - "Decoding the mechanisms of virus infection using human brain organoids"

Marco Alves is Principal Investigator at the Institute of Virology and Immunology (IVI) and Lecturer in infection biology at the University of Bern, Switzerland. After studying Biochemistry at the University of Fribourg and Lausanne, he obtained a PhD in Immunology at the University of Bern. In 2016, he joined the IVI to establish his lab with a focus on the pathogenesis of zoonotic viruses in human. To study the mechanisms of infection and identify potential therapeutic targets, he applies animal models combined with human in vitro systems such as tissue explants and organoids.
