About
I am a biologist, graduated from the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Los Andes, Venezuela. My line of research since 2017, it has been developed especially in the area of Biochemistry, specifically in the study of the metabolism of Phytophtora infestans, characterization and enzymatic kinetics as well as the overexpression and purification of recombinant glucokinases of this model.
I am currently researching, independently, from the area of computational biology using P. infestans and other pathogens as a study model. My main interest is to study its pathogenicity mechanisms, as well as to structurally characterize some of the key enzymes involved in the host-pathogen interaction that are potential targets of attack in the design of future strategies aimed at the control of diseases of economic interest.
