About me
My research focuses on molecular nutrition, microbiota, bioactive compounds, and metabolism, with emphasis on metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammation, and non-communicable chronic diseases. My work integrates approaches from biochemistry, biotechnology, and food science to study the effects of natural compounds and functional foods on metabolic and inflammatory processes.
I also develop research lines related to the sustainable use of biological resources and agro-industrial by-products, contributing to food sustainability, bioeconomy, and circular economy approaches. My academic trajectory includes scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, human resource training, participation in interdisciplinary research projects, and the strengthening of national and international academic networks.
Additionally, I participate in science outreach, inclusion initiatives, and programs aimed at fostering scientific vocations, promoting the integration of research, education, and social relevance.
