Educational Background:

2005 – 2011. Engineering in Molecular Biotechnology, Universidad de Chile. Dissertation title: “Quantitative proteomics studies in Escherichia coli mutants lack in the enzymes related to the metabolism of inorganic polyphosphates”. Advisor: Francisco Chávez.

Research Interest: My research interests are the genomic features of fishes belonging to the Genus Orestias and the transcriptomic response to the local adaptation to temperature in the frog Rhinella spinulosa. I am also interested in the genomic of the annual fish Austrolebiascharrua.
