I have been interested in Biology since I can remember, in particular in Biochemistry. I obtained my Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences in 2006 from the National University of Mexico and performed PostDoctoral Studies, followed by appointments as Research Associate and Research Assistant Professor, at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

I am particularly interested in mechanistic aspects of enzymes and in the control of complex metabolic networks ... and yes, I am smiling in the picture.

I hold a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the National University of Mexico. I performed my post-doctoral studies at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and then moved to the Center for Neuropharmacology and Neuroscience at the Albany Medical Center. I am interested in molecular and cellular aspects of human diseases.
