My mission is to contribute to understanding the brain in health and disease, aiming to expand and heal human consciousness. After graduating from Panamerican University, I moved to Boston to start my Master of Science in Anatomy & Neurobiology at Boston University and the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research program at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. I am currently working on my MS thesis at the Spaulding Neuromodulation Center with the support of Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School.
My interests in neuroscience include evolutionary neurobiology, neurooncology, neuromodulation, vascular neurology, molecular and cellular neuroscience, and learning and behavior. My research experience has focused primarily on TMS, neurooncology, AI and Machine Learning, vascular neurology, pain, and calcium metabolism.
I had the opportunity to learn and collaborate in research with teams at Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Southern California, the University of Miami, Anahuac University, UNAM Mexico, INCMNSZ Mexico, and Panamerican University.
In addition to my research interests, I work actively in graphic scientific communication, biomedical education, mentorship, and clinical simulation.
