Prior to his PhD studies, Dr. Diaz was a swine veterinarian for 5 years for Cerdos del Valle S.A in Colombia, and obtained his Master in Science working on porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2).

Dr. Diaz joined the University of Minnesota graduate school in September 2010 as a fellow of the Caldas-COLCIENCIAS scholarship from the Colombian government, and has acquired advanced training on swine health, epidemiology, molecular biology and bioinformatics. As a PhD candidate he has been awarded with the Carlos Pijoan, MnDrive, and Doctoral dissertation fellowships to obtain his degree. Part of his PhD work has been presented as 2 peer-reviewed manuscripts and more than 15 oral presentations in national and international scientific meetings.
