Maried Ochoa Zavala

I was born in the southeast of Mexico in the late 80s. On july 2012 I finished my bachelor studies at Instituto de Ciencias Biológicas (UNICACH). At the end of 2019 I achieved the degree of Doctor in Science at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Between 2020 and 2021 I did two postdoctoral stays; and I joined UNAM as an Associate Researcher in 2022. My areas of specialty are Molecular Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Conservation Biology of tropical organisms. I dabbled in the molecular ecology of mangroves with the analysis of the mating system of the black mangrove, Avicennia germinans in 2013. Since then, I have published in a scientific journals about the evolutionary genetics of different systems of ecological and commercial importance. I am a teacher of undergraduate and postgraduate signatures and I have participated in diploma courses, and conferences. Currently, I am working on the identification of genetic variants associated with environmental variables to make predictions in the face of climate change scenarios and collaborate in eDNA studies and barcoding analysis.
