Students

There have been a group of people that I have had the privilege of serving as a mentor, in one way or another.

Nallely Renata Guerra Fuentes. Medico Veterinario Zootecnista in the School of Veterinary Medicine. Defense: July 22nd, 2021. UANL (Principal advisor: Dra. Alicia Marroquin).

July Stephany Gámez Valdez. Master in Science in the School of Engineering and Sciences, with a focus on Biotechnology. Defense: June 15th, 2020. Tecnologico de Monterrey (Principal advisor: Dr. Cuauhtemoc Licona).

Pepe Walls. Pepe was never my student per se, but we published together three papers (2 in 2016, and one more in 2017) before he left to Europe (Uppsala University in Sweden) to pursue a degree in Molecular Medicine (August 2017 to June 2019).

Antonio Joel Ruiz Uribe (doctoral student). I first got in contact with Antonio by the end of 2014 and he was interested in researching different aspects of propolis. However, at some point Antonio decided not to finish his doctoral work.

Cecilia Alanis-Lopez (master student). Cecilia graduated on November 24th, 2015. Her thesis was related with a descriptive analysis of fecal microbiota of three domestic birds using high-throughput sequencing in a context of human health and coevolution of gut microorganisms. Cecilia is currently a member of the staff in a private veterinary hospital, with a focus on birds.

Jose Pablo Gomez (undergraduate student). Jose Pablo graduated on October 2015. His thesis was related with the analysis of predictive metabolic profiles using 16S rRNA gene sequences from fecal microbiota of pet birds. Jose Pablo is currently pursuing a graduate degree in the Center for Animal Disease Modeling and Surveillance at UCDavis.
