I obtained my Master degree in Physiology at the University of Colima in Mexico (2016), mentored by Dr. Xóchitl Trujillo at the Univeristy Center of Biomedical Research in Colima and trained with Anne Devin in cell energy metabolism at the Institut de Biochimie et Génétique Cellulaire in Bordeaux. I specialized on the control and regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis focusing on the expression of the HAP4 transcription factor, using molecular genetic approaches. I moved to Paris to be part of the Wai lab as a PhD student studying the importance of mitochondrial dynamics in cardiac metabolism and heart disease funded by an ARDOC PhD scholarship.
