I am a researcher at the National Institute of Forestry, Agricultural and Livestock Research (INIFAP), Mexico, specializing in plant pathology and agricultural biotechnology. My research focuses on plant–pathogen interactions, molecular identification, phylogenetics, pathogenicity, and sustainable management of fungal diseases in tropical crops, particularly citrus and vanilla. My current interests include Lasiodiplodia spp., Fusarium oxysporum, biological control using native Trichoderma, beneficial bacteria and yeasts, and molecular and biotechnological approaches for improving plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. I am interested in multidisciplinary and international research collaborations in plant health and sustainable crop protection.
