Personal profile

Teaching

She has been dedicated to teaching cell biology, with a special emphasis on the mechanisms associated with aging and the immune system. In addition, She has participated in courses related to general immunology and neuroimmunology. The knowledge applied in these courses is closely related to the research line developed in the laboratory.

Research interests

The area of interest of our laboratory group is to understand the changes that occur in the functions of the immune system due to the effects of time. In other words, how certain proteins present in immune system cells change in expression and therefore, in function, leading to changes in the function of immune system cells. We are mainly focused on analyzing the cells of the innate immune system corresponding to macrophages. We are interested in understanding how these changes in protein levels lead to pathologies in different systems such as the central nervous system and its effect on neurodegeneration and tissue regeneration, as well as the metabolic changes that occur systemically and in relation to the accumulation of fats.
