Elizabeth Rieder received her M. Sc. Degree in Biochemistry (1986) and a Ph.D. in Virology and Genetic (1991) from the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina. Her doctoral studies involved the molecular mechanism of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV)-escape mutant generation, isolated under selective immune pressure. Following receipt of her Ph.D., Dr. Rieder was a Research Scientist (1991-1997) at PIADC, USDA, ARS and studied FMDV pathogenesis and developed experimental FMDV vaccines through the generation of an infectious cDNA clone for this virus.
