Ruiz-Ballesteros, Adolfo Isaac

I hold a PhD in Translational Nutrition Sciences and have multidisciplinary training and experience in both academic and clinical settings. My career has focused on the study of the interaction between nutrition, genetics, and immunity, with an emphasis on autoimmune diseases and cardiometabolic risk factors. I have 18 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals, three of them as first author, and have participated in national and international conferences. In academia, I have taught at prestigious institutions such as Tecnológico de Monterrey, the University of Guadalajara, the Marist University of Guadalajara, and other private universities, actively contributing to the training of health science professionals. I have also co-supervised undergraduate theses and participate as a member of a research network specializing in immunonutrition and nutritional genomics. In the clinical setting, I have collaborated with multidisciplinary teams in the analysis of biomarkers and genetic polymorphisms related to clinical activity and cardiometabolic risk in diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. I am proficient in laboratory techniques such as DNA extraction, PCR with TaqMan probes, biological sample processing, and ELISA analysis. From an applied and industrial perspective, I have experience using specialized software (SPSS, STATA, R Studio, Nutrikcal VO, among others) and generating scientific evidence useful for evaluating supplements, nutrients, and personalized therapeutic strategies based on genetic and clinical profiles. My professional goal is to integrate teaching, research, and clinical innovation to develop real solutions to public health problems through interdisciplinary collaboration and the training of new scientific talent with an ethical, critical, and transformative approach.
