Hi, I am Hector Alejandro Cabrera-Fuentes. My fields of interest include thromboinflammation, inflammation and cardiovascular disease, and vascular biology in cardiovascular disease. I earned my PhD in Biochemistry from Justus-Liebig-University Giessen in 2014, with "Summa cum laude" honors. I was selected for the DFG-1566 International Graduate Program PROMISE: Protecting the Heart from Ischemia, and I served as Student Representative (2010-2012) at GGL-Giessen. In 2016, I won the SERVIER-International Society of Heart Research Award and was a finalist for the American Heart Association's Louis N. and Arnold M. Katz Basic Science Research Award in 2014. I received a Singapore Health-Foundation research grant in 2018. In August 2018, I was appointed Head of the FEMSA Biotechnology Centre at Tec de Monterrey, Mexico, and became an Assistant Professor at SingHealth Duke-NUS in 2019. Currently, I am a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology, Professor at the UNAM-UABJO Research Center in Oaxaca, and a Visiting Professor at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University in Saudi Arabia.
