I began researching during my undergraduate studies with projects related to the biomedical field. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences at the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, where our research group is studying macrophages that are abundant in the adipose tissue of obese individuals and potentially contribute to the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. In order to understand the role they play in this condition, I am developing skills in flow cytometry, PCR, and bioinformatics, which improve the efficiency of data collection and results.
