My name is Cecilia Rico Fuentes. I hold a Ph.D. in Biosciences from the University of Guadalajara and a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara. I completed academic stays at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at CUCs, UDG, and at the Institute for Biotechnology Research at UNSAM in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I received training in laboratory techniques, such as cell culture, immunohistochemistry, and immunoblotting. My main areas of expertise are molecular and cellular biology. My doctoral project focuses on evaluating the expression and activation of GPER, an estrogen receptor, associated with signaling, migration, invasiveness, apoptosis, inflammation, and transcriptome alterations in prostate cancer cells and tissues. My goal is to contribute to the understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the development and progression of cancer disease and explore new therapeutic strategies. I am passionate about biomedical research and the development of innovative solutions to health problems. I consider myself a committed, creative, and collaborative person, with strong adaptability and a continuous learning mindset. I enjoy being part of a multidisciplinary and multicultural team that shares my vision and values and allows me to contribute my experience and perspective to new projects.
