He graduated in 2004 with a degree in Chemical Engineering from the Universidad Iberoamericana, Santa Fe Campus in Mexico City. He completed his doctoral studies in the laboratory of Dr. Salvador Uribe at the Institute of Cellular Physiology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and undertook a research stay at the Center for Biological Research of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in Madrid, Spain (2010). From 2010 to 2017, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Alicia Kowaltowski at the Institute of Chemistry of the University of São Paulo in Brazil. Upon completion of his postdoctoral fellowship, he joined the Trypanosomatid Biochemistry Laboratory of Dr. Ariel Silber at the Institute of Biomedical Research of the University of São Paulo as a junior researcher. In 2021, he joined the laboratory of Dr. Gerardo García Rivas as a postdoctoral researcher. He is currently an associate professor at the Experimental Medicine Unit of the Obesity Research Institute of Tecnológico de Monterrey.
His research interests focus on studying the regulation of energy and lipid metabolism in various pathologies. Currently, he investigates how metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes dysregulate cellular and systemic iron metabolism, which could be a key factor in the progression of these diseases.
