I have a BA in Anthropology from Universidad de Caldas (Colombia), an MSc in Science and Technology Studies from the University of Edinburgh, and a PhD in Anthropology from the University of Exeter.
I am currently working on a project (Unihealth EU) to Investigate public and healthcare workers’ priorities concerning format, access, acceptance, and understanding of point-of-care (POC) testing and its place in pandemic preparedness.
During my PhD, I researched congenital syphilis prevention in Colombia. After my experience as a Research Assistant at CIDEIM (a Research Centre dedicated to Infectious Diseases), I have realised that it is essential to consider different knowledge, experiences, and expertise when examining congenital syphilis prevention.
I have worked as a Lecturer in several universities in Colombia and Chile, teaching courses related to research methods (quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods), anthropology theory, and science and technology studies (STS). I also have experience working with NGOs dedicated to education and health prevention, where I gained experience designing, implementing, and evaluating social projects.
My research interests revolve around health prevention, STS, public understanding of Science and Technology, community participation, applied research, and Anthropology and Sociology of Health.
