About
Dr. Javier Buesa is a leading virologist whose research focuses on viral diagnostics, respiratory infections, and the molecular epidemiology of enteric viruses. He has made pivotal contributions to improving the accuracy of SARS-CoV-2 detection, notably through his work on the amplification of the human β-glucuronidase gene as an internal control to appraise the reliability of negative RT-PCR results in upper respiratory specimens. This methodological advance, published in 2020, has been cited 11 times and addresses a critical diagnostic challenge—the risk of false negatives in COVID-19 testing. Beyond SARS-CoV-2, Dr. Buesa is widely recognized for his extensive studies on rotavirus and norovirus, where he has characterized viral genotypes, transmission patterns, and immune responses, shaping public health strategies for gastroenteritis control. His work has garnered substantial impact, with many of his papers accumulating hundreds of citations, reflecting his influence in both clinical virology and outbreak management. Dr. Buesa’s dedication to refining diagnostic tools and understanding viral pathogenesis continues to inform laboratory practice and infectious disease surveillance globally.
