RESEARCH FELLOW
JUNE 2021-AUGUST 2021
​​
-
Conducted research in the Neurogenesis and Brain Tumors laboratory under the supervision of Dr. Guerrero-Cazares.
-
The research was focused on finding the role of the protein CHI3L1 in the progression of glioblastoma and its correlation with other genes, such as SERPINA3, SPP1, and CD44.
-
The project aimed to study the impact of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) on glioblastoma malignancy and CHI3L1 expression.
-
The ultimate goal was to contribute to the improvement of the treatment for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma.
RESEARCH ASSISTANT
MARCH 2020-DECEMBER 2020
