About me
I am a biologist with training in molecular biology, population genetics, and wildlife disease ecology. I aim to understand eco-evolutionary responses to pathogens to support conservation and disease management.
I am a biologist specialized in host–pathogen interactions, molecular ecology, and wildlife disease. I hold a PhD in Natural Resources and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, where I investigated the evolution of host tolerance using the Mycoplasma gallisepticum–house finch system. I also have a Master’s degree in Molecular Biology, focused on population genetics and haemosporidian parasites in highland bird communities from the Mexican Altiplano. My research integrates molecular tools, ecological approaches, and evolutionary theory to understand how wildlife responds to emerging infectious diseases, with the goal of informing conservation and public health decision-making.
