Biography

I studied my Ph.D. with Alejandra Medina-Rivera, the Regulatory Genomics and Bioinformatics Laboratory at International Laboratory for Human Genome Research (LIIGH) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Our goal was to integrate public microarray and RNA-seq data, together with samples manually curated of lung diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Idiopatic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) for better characterization of gene expression signatures. We worked in colaboration with Julio Collado-Vides, Moises Selman and Yalbi I. Balderas-Martínez.

Projects

*
All Lung Liver Other
Alternative Splicing in TCDD exposure
My project aim was to unscramble the alternative splicing effects of TCDD in C57BL6 mouse hepatocytes using high-throughput data.
Hepatocarcinogenesis
To characterize the protein expression of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein II (IGFBP2) during the develompent of cancer in rat livers using blood and tissue.
PulmonDB
We created PulmonDB, a gene expression lung diseases database with public transcriptomic high-throuput data and manual curation information with an online interface for a quick accessibility.
