I studied Biology at FES Iztacala, UNAM, where I specialized in the study of non-coding RNAs in plants. Subsequently, I completed a PhD in Biomedical Sciences at the Institute of Cell Physiology, UNAM, focusing on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their role in epigenetic regulation. Later, I worked as a CONAHCYT Researcher and Researcher in Medical Sciences at the National Cancer Institute, leading applied research projects in cancer, using non-coding RNAs as molecular markers. My background in biology and biomedical sciences allowed me to develop a comprehensive approach to cancer research, focusing on the identification of molecular biomarkers as prognostic and predictive molecular biomarkers in both breast and prostate cancer, using transcriptomics as a tool to identify new molecular biomarkers based on lncRNAs, miRNAs, and repeated sequences. Furthermore, I employ artificial intelligence to discover new molecular biomarkers in cancer through transcriptomics. Additionally, I am deeply interested in exploring the functions of lncRNAs and their role in genomic instability in cancer. My work encompasses both basic and applied research, with a key emphasis on molecular biology and transcriptomics in cancer. Finally, my experience, knowledge, and motivation have enabled me to carry out research projects in applied science, particularly in the areas of non-coding RNAs, transcriptomics, cancer, and molecular diagnostics.
