Dr. Maria Jaimes earned her MD degree at the Universidad Javeriana in Colombia (South America).
Dr Jaimes completed her postdoctoral training at Stanford University in the department of Microbiology and Immunology. During her postdoc, she worked at characterizing the immune responses to both rotavirus and influenza viruses after natural infection and immunization.
In 2005, Dr Jaimes joined BD Biosciences. While at BD, Maria worked in different aspects of quality assurance and standardization of flow cytometry assays.
Since 2015, Maria has been working at Cytek Biosciences and is part of the R&D team who developed the Aurora Full Spectrum Cytometer. Dr Jaimes has overseen the instrument characterization, verification, and development of multicolor applications. Besides her responsibilities within the R&D team, Dr Jaimes leads the Technical Applications Support team worldwide
