Jordi Argilaguet

Jordi Argilaguet is an immunologist and animal health researcher specializing in African swine fever (ASF) and vaccine development. He currently leads the ASF research group at IRTA-CReSA, where he coordinates several research lines focused on understanding the immune response to the virus and designing effective vaccination strategies.

His research combines basic immunology studies with applied approaches, including the development and evaluation of attenuated vaccines and new immunological strategies. He has contributed to advances in the identification of correlates of protection and in understanding the immune mechanisms involved in protection against infection.

In the context of the recent ASF outbreak, he has played a key role in scientific coordination and technical advisory work, contributing to data interpretation and monitoring of the situation from an immunological and virological perspective.

His scientific work is carried out in collaboration with international research centers, with the aim of improving disease control and advancing toward the development of safe and effective vaccines.
