I am a Research Instructor in the Thathiah lab at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. I received my MD from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) School of Medicine and my Ph.D. in biomedical sciences in neuropathology from the same institution. My research focuses on characterizing the processes that govern the inflammatory response in the nervous system and how to modulate them to promote neuronal survival during neurodegeneration. I am also interested in disseminating knowledge to the general public and promoting science to benefit the human community. 

I have a diverse background in various biological disciplines, including medicine, immunology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology. During my undergraduate and Ph.D. studies, I conducted research on neuroinflammation and neuroprotection. I have published my findings as the first author in the Journal of Neuroinflammation and Journal of Neurochemistry. Currently, I am utilizing my background in neuroimmunology to study the molecular processes responsible for the cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease.

My research is at the forefront of understanding the mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease. I am exploring the interaction between neuroinflammation, microglia activation, and neuroprotection in a novel way, aiming to develop new diagnostic and treatment methods. I aim to identify potential therapeutic targets to reduce harmful inflammation while preserving its protective functions in the central nervous system.
