Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Eduardo Salinas's research focuses on the immune response to viral infections, particularly hepatitis C virus (HCV) and SARS-CoV-2. His work investigates the roles of T cells and B cells in viral clearance and persistence. Salinas has published on how CD8+ T cell depletion affects hepatitis E virus resolution in macaques and the acceleration of HCV-specific B cell expansion by T follicular helper cells. His recent publications also explore the neutralization and receptor use of rat hepacivirus as an HCV model, the decline of serum neutralization activity and persistence of memory B cells after HCV cure, and the requirement of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to prevent SARS-CoV-2 persistence in mice. He has also examined differential immune transcriptomic profiles in HCV-reinfected subjects and the intrinsic p53 activation restricting gammaherpesvirus-driven B cell expansion. Salinas has an h-index of 12, with 20 total publications and 276 citations. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Jason S. Stumhofer, J. Craig Forrest, Mark Manzano, and Shana M. Owens.
