About me

  • I am a senior researcher at the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell
    Biology (MTC), Karolinska Institutet, and a member of The Sjöling's group.
    ASM Young Ambassador for Sweden 2023
    Jan 2011 — Oct 2015 Ph.D. in Microbiology. Dept. of Microbiology and
    Immunology. Inst. Biomedicine. University of Gothenburg
    Apr 2020 — Apr 2020 B.S. in Molecular Biology, Universidad Mayor de San
    Andr s. La Paz, Bolivia

Research

  • My research is focused on dissecting the transcriptional regulation of
    virulence and the spreading mechanisms of plasmid-mediated resistance in
    pathogenic /E. coil /[urpopathogenic /E. coli/ (UPEC), enterotoxigenic /E.
    coli /(ETEC), enteroaggregative /E. coli/ (EAEC), and extraintestinal /E.
    coli/ (ExPEC)]. I use a multidisciplinary approach combining molecular
    epidemiology, basic microbiology, multi-omics (genomics, transcriptomics,
    metabolomics, and metagenomics), and mechanistic studies to better explain
    why specific clones of /E. coli/ or "superbugs" spread successfully into
    diverse microbial communities and cause infections in humans (e.g. urinary
    tract infection, diarrhea, and sepsis).
    I collaborate with different research groups within Sweden, Europe, and also
    LMICs such as Bolivia. #OneHealth.
