       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

  • Investigated the molecular mechanism of regulation of gene expression in prostate and breast cancer.

  • Trained in Molecular Biology Cloning techniques, including DNA extraction, Restriction digestion, Agarose gel electrophoresis, Ligation, and Transformation protocols.
