Dr. Cynthia P. Saloma is a molecular biologist, biotechnologist, and a professor in the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in the University of the Philippines Diliman. She is also the current Executive Director of the University of the Philippines Genome Center (PGC) and is a recipient of the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award. She has shown outstanding work in both scientific and administrative capacities at the center during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.
In addition to her excellent work during the pandemic, she started the PGC DNA Sequence Core Facility. She, along with collaborators and students, successfully sequenced and analyzed hundreds of genomes of bacteria that impact the health of shrimp, rice soil quality, and parasites affecting the Philippine carabao, among other things. By applying biomarkers and diagnostic tools, knowledge of these genome sequences can improve our understanding of animal illnesses and plant development and benefit our agricultural and fishing industries.
