General Physician specializing in Environmental Health & Fluoride Exposure Research

Profile Summary

I am a General Physician with a Master's degree in Epidemiology and Health Statistics, bringing over 3 years of diverse clinical experience across internship, rural healthcare service, and private practice. My medical training in Ecuador combined with advanced epidemiological research training in China has equipped me with a unique, cross-cultural perspective on public health challenges. 
My primary research focus is environmental health, specifically examining the relationship between fluoride exposure and cardiovascular health. My master's thesis conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis revealing that fluoride exposure increases the risk of hypertension, though current evidence demonstrates very low certainty according to GRADE guidelines—highlighting a critical need for more rigorous research in this field.
I have published research on "The potential of urinary miR-200c-3p as a biomarker of fluorosis in rats," contributing to the understanding of fluoride toxicity biomarkers. Currently, I am working toward publishing my thesis findings on fluoride exposure and blood pressure. I provide expert consultation in environmental health research, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and evidence-based medicine. Whether you need assistance with research design, statistical analysis, literature reviews, or environmental health assessments, I bring rigorous methodology and clinical insight to every project.
