Biography
I completed my bachelor’s degree in biotechnology engineering at the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City, in the MolBiotech Laboratory, where I developed a project to introduce a metabolic route in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. After finishing my degree, I worked as a volunteer in the Children’s Hospital of Mexico Federico Gómez in the Neurosciences Research Laboratory. I am currently in the fourth semester of my MSc in bioprocesses (IPN, Mexico) and I am interested in molecular biology in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas. I am a black belt in taekwondo, I love swimming, watching movies, cooking desserts and sometimes I work as an ESL teacher.
