I'm starting my research group at CCM. I’m interested in developing bioinformatic tools to study microorganism’s comparative genomics and evolution. The lab philosophy is the Charles Gordon's always valid thought: "We are all smart. Disntiguish yourself for being kind. "
- 🔠We are currently working on metapangenomics.
- 🌱 Our group is learning by teaching metagenomics and pangenomics tools.
- 👯 I love collaborative work. As an example here is our Metagenomics lesson and the Pangenome Wikipedia article.
- 🤔 We are looking for collaborations with wetlab work.
- 💬 Ask me about bioinformatics education
- 📫 How to reach me: [email protected]
- 😄 Pronouns: She
- âš¡ Fun fact: I always say yes to an skating invitation.

I am a professor at the Center for Mathematical Sciences at UNAM in Morelia. I earned a degree in Mathematics from theUniversity of Guanajuato and a master’s degree from CIMAT. Then, I did a Ph.D. and a Post-doctorate in Integrative Biology at the Evolution of Metabolic Diversity lab at Langebio-Cinvestav. I care about teaching. I have taught at leading México Universities: UNAM, ITESM, IPN, and CINVESTAV, and I also developed open-source lessons for "The Carpentries"". I'm a founder member of BetterLab, a biotechnology and software startup, and I'm also a member of the Mexican SARS-CoV-2 Genomic Surveillance Consortium. As a scientist, I have proposed and developed bioinformatics solutions to biological problems of comparative genomics of microorganisms. I am interested in the genome evolution of Archaea, Bacteria, and Fungi. For my work, I received the L'oréal award for women in science in 2021. Everything is teamwork, and that is what I expect from my students. Life-work balance is essential, and family and social contribution matter to me. I like to skate and share, and because of that, I’m a member of the development program Girls Hockey League Mexico.
