Welcome !

Our lab is located in the Mazatlán Academic Unit and we are part of the Institute of Marine Science and Limnology (Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnología), which belongs to the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

Mazatlán is a city on the northwestern coast of Mexico.

This lab started to work in January 2021, but our research projects have been running since a few years ago. We are interested in the biology and ecology of aquatic parasites.
