About
I'm a biologist from the National University of Colombia. During my undergrad, I worked on insect morphology through linear and geometrics morphometrics analysis to evaluate their population dynamics response to environmental stimuli. Recently, I finished my master's degree program in Biological Sciences at the University of the Andes under the tutoring of professor Camila González. We characterized the venom proteomic composition of two Lonomia species (L. casanarensis and L. orientoandensis), established their differences, and evaluated the immunoreactivity of an anti-Lonomia casanarensis immune serum against them. Currently, I'm a research assistant at Centro Internacional de Investigaciones Médicas (CIDEIM), analyzing transcriptomic data. I am highly passionate about biology, particularly about understanding biological phenomena through an evolutionary perspective, which we can apply through a deeper characterization and understanding of Lonomia genus toxicology, as proven by the recent work of professor González's team.
