Research Interests

I am interested in made basic and applied research. Some areas in which I am interested in study are: Toxicology, Ethnobotany, Bioinformatics, Nanomedicine, Developmental Biology and Cancer.

Biography

My academic formation is as Clinical Chemistry (B.Sc.) and Research (Ph.D.), because I have post-graduate studies in Biotechnology and Molecular Pathogenesis, respectively. Likewise, I have done short-term research stays in the Faculty of Chemical Sciences (FCQ-UACH), and the LANGEBIO (UGA-CINVESTAV), that have allowed me to develop some skills and abilities, such as: • Extraction, isolation, purification, analysis, identification and quantification of nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites (primary/secondary) by electrophoresis, qPCR, Western- blot, and HPLC/GC-MS.
