His research addresses emerging and zoonotic diseases present in wildlife, with a focus on the diagnosis, reporting and surveillance of diseases of mainly bacterial and parasitic origin present in animals that enter rehabilitation centers, through molecular techniques such as PCR. Likewise, the study of potential vectors that transmit diseases between humans and animals is covered. A second line of research focuses on biotechnology for the conservation of wild species; in particular, isolate and characterize genetic resources that can potentially be used for the conservation of threatened species. In this line, he has developed work focused on the isolation and establishment in culture of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and fibroblasts isolated from tissues of wild and domestic felines. Another emerging line of research addresses the effects of plastic waste on wildlife, seeking to evaluate the real impact of plastic waste on birds and marine mammals.

Dr. Diana Echeverry is a Veterinary Doctor from the University of Antioquia (Colombia) and a Doctor in Veterinary Sciences from the University of Concepción. Once his professional career ended, he began in the field of research in the Centauro and Biogenesis research groups of the University of Antioquia, addressing the areas of virology, zoonotic diseases, animal biotechnology, reproductive biology and lactation. At this same university he served as a professor in the courses of Biotechnology, Research and General Mechanisms of Disease. Between 2014 and 2019, he completed a Doctorate in Veterinary Sciences at the University of Concepción in the area of ​​animal biotechnology, researching mesenchymal stem cells from wild and domestic felines. Completing his doctorate, he worked in the Wildlife and Zoology laboratories of the University of Concepción, participating in research and teaching projects. She currently works as a researcher at the San Sebastián University, attached to the Faculty of Natural Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine. 

Diana Echeverry teaches the subjects of Wildlife Conservation, Conservation and Management of Ecosystems that Host Wild Fauna, Scientific Research Methodology, Zoology, Ecology and Professional Guidance at the School of Veterinary Medicine belonging to the Faculty of Natural Sciences. The lines of research in which he has worked allow him to share the experience and knowledge acquired in the respective subjects.
