About me

  • I am an Assistant Professor at the NVS department, in the Division of
    Neurogeriatrics.
    My main interest is to unravel the mechanisms affecting synaptic networks
    that condition cognitive decline in the early progression of
    neurodegenerative diseases. My goal is to evaluate basic pathogenesis and
    pharmacological interventions in psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases
    using ex vivo electrophysiological approaches in combination with
    transcriptomic, morphological, and behavioral techniques in animal models.

    *2018- 2022:* Postdoctoral Researcher at Andre Fisahn's Lab / NVS. Karolinska
    Institutet
    *2015- 2018:* PhD thesis at Fidel De La Cruz's lab / National School of
    Biological Sciences. Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) (Mexico).
    *2016:* Academic visit at Antonio Rodriguez-Moreno's Lab. Universidad Pablo
    de Olavide (UPO) (Spain).
    *2015:* Academic visit at Eliezer Masliah's Lab. University of California,

    *2014:* Academic visit at Antonio Rodriguez-Moreno's Lab. Universidad Pablo
    de Olavide (UPO) (Spain).
    *2013- 2015:* Master thesis at Gonzalo Flores' Lab / Institute of Physiology.
    Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (Mexico).
    *2012:* Bachelor thesis at Gonzalo Flores' Lab / Institute of Physiology.
    Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (Mexico).

Research

  • My research is focused on the synaptic interactions of neuronal cell types
    with microglial cells and how these interactions are affected by
    neurodegenerative diseases. In the lab, we use animal models of Alzheimer's
    disease, Parkinson's disease and brain irradiation to decipher these
    fundamental questions.
