I am Jessica Paolaloaiza Giraldo, a final-year Medical Student at Universidad Central del Valle del Cauca (UCEVA) in Colombia. My academic development has been strongly oriented toward clinical anatomy, dermatology, and translational research, which have shaped my professional identity and interests. I have participated in scientific projects in collaboration with Universidad Andrés Bello in Chile and Mayo Clinic, particularly in research related to the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and applied anatomical sciences. I have also contributed to systematic reviews and meta-analyses in areas such as neuroanatomy, chronic pain, the Mediterranean diet, metabolic diseases, and anatomical factors associated with anterior knee pain. My current research lines include the role of alpha-lipoic acid in diabetic polyneuropathy, non-pharmacological interventions for pain, and the relationship between nutrition and hepatic pathophysiology. I am committed to rigorous methodology, evidence-based practice, and bridging basic science with clinical application. My professional goal is to specialize in dermatology with a strong emphasis on dermatopathology, integrating clinical reasoning with anatomical and molecular understanding of skin diseases. I believe in the importance of research, medical education, and patient-centered care as essential pillars of medical practice.
