Summary

  • Javier ("Javi") was born in Ciego de Avila Cuba, and emigrated to the United States in 1999 when his little brother Jorge needed a bone marrow transplant. His brother, unfortunately, did not survive, but Javi went on to pursue his dream of building a future for immunocompromised kids like Jorge. He has more than 20 years of research training at the world's top immunology centers, including Sloan Kettering Institute, NIH Clinical Center, University of Minnesota, Texas Children's Hospital, and Brigham & Women's Hospital, spanning all aspects of immunology. He has also completed clinical training in immunological diseases in several of the most prestigious pediatric and adult hospitals in the country. He is passionate about both the art and science of medicine and remains committed to realizing the immune system's potential to change the way we approach infection, allergy, cancer and autoimmunity.
