Biography

I am an undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Nanotechnology at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CNyN-UNAM). As a Visiting Student at KAUST, I have had the privilege of contributing to the research focused on the in vitro modeling of Klinefelter Syndrome. This research seeks to elucidate the role of specific genes in the clinical manifestations associated with the syndrome.

Research Interests

I am eager to understand the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that contribute to the development of diseases, as this knowledge can drive the formulation of innovative therapeutic strategies.
