Overview
Personal profile
Bacteriologist with a Master's in Biological Sciences and PhD Candidate in Biological Sciences at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. I have extensive experience in basic research, particularly in lung and breast cancer. My work has focused on transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, molecular epidemiology, and genetic processes linked to changes in cancer phenotypic profiles. This focus has also allowed me to develop expertise in bioinformatics for genomic data analysis.
