Washington Research Foundation Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow in the Gibbons Lab. My research was focused on leveraging data from metagenomics, deep phenotyping and in vitro experiments in order to unravel the functional consequences of compositional shifts in the microbiome. I also worked on designing interventions in order to engineer a personalized microbiota that will persist wellness. Additionally, I also worked with environmental samples and nanopore sequencing of metagenome samples.
Position in the laboratory of Human Systems Biology of Dr. Osbaldo Resendis. In the first half of my position I studied metabolic alterations in cancer using a variety of data sources such as metabolome, genome and transcriptome data and combining those with mathematical modeling (flux balance analysis). Later I switched my focus to the microbiome where I analyzed 16S rRNA and metagenomic data sets from various cohorts and modeled the underlying microbial communities.
PostDoc in the laboratory of Integrative Research of Biological Systems of Dr. Gabriel Del Rio Guerra in the field of Synthetic Biology and Peptide design. During my position at the UNAM I used a combination of Machine Learning and Optimization to design multi-functional cell-penetrating and antimicrobial peptides and validated their function in *E. coli* and *S. cerevisiae* using a variety of Molecular Biology methods.
