Welcome!

I am a professor at Seattle Pacific University.  As a teacher-scholar, I value the opportunity to mentor undergraduate students both in the classroom and in the lab.  

I find teaching to be very rewarding because it allows me to train, motivate and shape the lives of my students by instilling knowledge they can use for a lifetime. 

Delgado lab research projects:

1. The primary research in my lab aims to understanding how gammaherpesviruses cause cancer by altering host cell metabolism. We are currently working to identify clinically relevant metabolic inhibitors that can be repurposed and used as new antiviral treatments. (CLICK FOR MORE INFO)

2. A secondary research project in my lab has been to identify the rate of salmon mislabeling fraud in Seattle Washington grocery stores and sushi restaurants. (CLICK FOR MORE INFO)

The experiments in my lab are performed by a team of undergraduate students. I am fully committed to mentoring each of these students and training them to become independent scientist.
