Researcher profile

Bryant Avalos

Dr. Bryant Avalos is a Postdoctoral Scholar with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of California, Riverside, and a B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of California, Irvine. His research spans energy metabolism, cannabinoid pharmacology, and HIV-associated neuroinflammation, with a strong emphasis on translational models that bridge molecular insights and clinical relevance. His scientific experience includes in vitro cellular assays, in vivo murine models, and, most recently, ex vivo studies using primary human immune cells. Collectively, his work provides a translational link between molecular mechanisms and patient-specific immune responses, supporting his broader goal of advancing personalized medicine through mechanistic insights into host-pathogen and host-environment interactions.
