Claudia Rodríguez Almazán received her BSc in Biology from the Faculty of Sciences, UNAM (1997) and her MSc from the Institute of Marine Science and Limnology (2001): sea anemone pore-forming toxins. She carried out her graduate work with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences (2007) from the Institute of Cell Physiology, UNAM, in the physicochemical thermodynamics of protein folding and stability. She completed a postdoctoral stay at the Institute of Biotechnology, UNAM (2008-2010), in bacterial pore-forming toxins. From 2010 to 2020, she was an associated researcher at the Institute of Biotechnology, UNAM, in the areas of the mechanism of action of pore-forming toxins and engineering of metalloenzyme proteins with applications in biotechnology and nanotechnology biomedicine. She is currently an associate researcher at the Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology, UNAM. Distinctions: PRIDE C, SNI I, member of the Mexican Society of Biochemistry, Mexican Society of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, The Protein Society-USA. She is a tutor of the Postgraduate course in Biochemical Sciences, UNAM, and a tutor of undergraduate, master, and doctoral students with participations in 21 postgraduate courses. She has publications in indexed journals and is the technical project manager for CONACYT, DGAPA-PAPIIT, and The Protein Society.
