Dr. Flores is a research professor at UANL, Mexico, with a career spanning 34 years in the field of Medical Entomology. Her academic journey began with a B.Sc. in Biology obtained in 1986 from the UANL, followed by a Master's in Science in Medical Entomology in 1987 at the same university. She further advanced her expertise by earning a Ph.D. in Parasitology from ITESM, Monterrey, Mexico, in 1992. Dr. Flores specializes in insecticide resistance and the sublethal effects of insecticides on arthropods, with a keen interest in uncovering mechanisms of insect resistance to insecticides, finding effective strategies for managing insecticide resistance, and developing novel vector control methods. Her contributions to the field are widely recognized, as evidenced by her membership in the Advisory Group for monitoring and managing insecticide resistance in insect vectors of infectious diseases in Mexico and her role as a WHO expert member in collaborating institutions for a multi-center study aimed at determining insecticide discriminating concentrations for resistance monitoring in mosquitoes. Dr. Flores has also collaborated with global and local companies in evaluating Phase I and II insecticides for vector control. Her excellence in research is acknowledged by her status as a Researcher Level 3 by the National Research System (SNI) CONACYT, Mexico, and her membership in the Mexican Academy of Sciences.
