Physician & Clinical Researcher | Editor-in-Chief | 20+ Peer-Reviewed Publications | Expert in Evidence Synthesis

Profile Summary

I am a physician and clinical researcher with a distinguished academic background, graduating Summa Cum Laude from the University of Zulia. My career has been defined by a dual commitment to high-impact biomedical research and the provision of primary healthcare in extreme vulnerability contexts. With over 20 peer-reviewed publications, I have developed a specialized expertise in evidence synthesis, clinical-molecular analysis, and large-scale epidemiological surveillance. My academic leadership was cemented during my tenure as Editor-in-Chief of Acta Científica Estudiantil, where I oversaw the technical and methodological appraisal of manuscripts and managed the end-to-end publication cycle.
