Tell us about yourself and your research interests:
I have a Bachelor’s degree of sciences and a Master’s degree in biological sciences from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (PUJ) at Bogota, Colombia, in which I studied the CD8+ T-cell subsets in patients with Chagas disease, a chronic parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi infection. Currently, I am a PhD Student in Biological Sciences (Immunology) at PUJ, and my research is focus in human and mice T cells response in T. cruzi infection, as well as understand the immune mechanisms that are modified in chronic infections.
In addition, I work on other projects related to elucidate diagnostic or progression biomarkers, and potential alternative therapeutic against human pathogenic trypanosomatids (such as T. cruzi).
