Our testimonials
PhD Pablo Tsukayama
Graduate and current head of Microbial Genomics Laboratory
I chose Cayetano because of its excellent academic background, its emphasis on research, and the internationally recognized track record of its researchers. After graduating as a biologist in 2005, I pursued a PhD in Molecular Microbiology in the USA and a master’s in Public Health in England. I returned to Cayetano as a professor in 2017 to bring new knowledge to the study of infectious diseases in Peru and to support the training of new scientists
