Profile Summary

I have a PhD in biotechnology. I have 15 years of work experience studying host-parasite interactions in intracellular pathogens (mostly bacteria and protozoans). I applied multi-Omics approaches, advanced bioinformatics, and data analysis to discover new biomarkers, drug targets, and antigenic peptides. We translate this knowledge into discovering and developing new drugs and vaccines against intracellular parasites.
