Biography

I have a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the ICBM (National Institute of Biomedical Research), Faculty of Medicine, University of Chile, thanks to a Chilean ANID scholarship (21191647). My research studies the contribution of hypoxia during fetal development and the possible generation of pathological states for the rest of life (DoHAD). We determine the effects of chronic intrauterine hypoxia that affected proteins related to vasodilatory gasotransmitters (NO, CO, H₂S) or enzymes involved in cardiac homeostasis (PKCe), decreasing their expression and/or activity, which affects cardiovascular functionality (myographies, Langendorff, fetal echocardiograms) in the short, medium, and long term. I am also interested in applying artificial intelligence to medical educational models.
