Biography

Currently enrolled as a PhD candidate at the Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados in Mexico City, I am investigating the characterization of the microbiota and associated metabolites within the enteromammary pathway, with a specific focus on their vertical transmission in obese mothers. I have co-authored the article titled "Postnatal Microbial and Metabolite Transmission: The Path from Mother to Infant," contributing to the understanding of maternal-infant microbiome dynamics. My prior research includes a Master of Science in microbiology, during which I conducted a postgraduate project examining the active principles of Boerhavia diffusa and their antifungal efficacy against oral candidiasis from 2021 to 2022. Additionally, in 2019, I participated in a collaborative project with Arrahman International School in Tamil Nadu, which focused on screening the antimicrobial activity of saliva collected from human subjects against selected microbial isolates.
