Jonathan Puente-Rivera, PhD, is a Medical Sciences Researcher in the Research Division of Hospital Juárez de México, Mexico City. He earned his PhD in Infectomics and Molecular Pathogenesis from the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute (CINVESTAV-IPN) in 2014 and undertook postdoctoral research in the Graduate Program in Genomic Sciences at Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying prostate, bladder, and breast cancer, as well as sexually transmitted and hospital-acquired infections. He combines bioinformatics and experimental approaches to investigate microRNAs, nuclear receptors, tumor signaling pathways, and gene expression using three-dimensional cell culture models. His work aims to identify biomarkers and therapeutic targets to support early diagnosis and personalized treatment. His research interests include cancer biology, non-coding RNAs, molecular pathogenesis, protozoan parasites, and translational research.
