Bachelor of Science (Industrial Microbiology) and Doctor of Biological Sciences at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. I am Associate Professor of the Institute for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEIM) at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. During my initial researcher stay (IEIM) I worked in production and purification of different recombinant human lysosomal enzymes in microorganisms (bacteria and yeast). Additionally, I worked in the design of ELISA tests for identification of those recombinant lysosomal enzymes making use of IgY antibodies produced and purified by ourselves. During my PhD I worked specifically in production and purification of three human recombinant lysosomal β-hexosaminidases, which were characterized biochemically and tested in vitro in different cell lines. Currently, I'm working on the production of recombinant proteins for GM2 gangliosidosis and mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB, among others. In addition, the work is focused in the biological protein characterization in vitro and in vivo, as well as in the study of new alternatives to deliver recombinant proteins to cross the blood-brain barrier.
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
