What I'm looking for

I’m interested in clinical research, clinical trial support, pharmacovigilance, or medical/scientific communication roles within the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry.

At Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del IPN, I led an independent preclinical CNS research project from protocol design through data analysis and dissemination. I analyzed behavioral outcomes and ELISA biomarkers, maintained traceable study documentation, and presented findings at the International Society of Addiction Research (ISAR) 2023 conference.

At Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, I managed a neuroendocrinology research project from study design through publication. My work included RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry, and resulted in a peer-reviewed paper on prolactin, olfactory bulb cells, and behavioral exploration in female mice.

Through a Spanish-language science communication project, I translated scientific literature into accessible educational content and delivered neuroscience workshops and public lectures. The project’s Facebook community reached more than 12,000 followers.

I’m interested in applying my scientific rigor, documentation skills, and research coordination experience in clinical research, clinical trial support, pharmacovigilance, or medical/scientific communication within the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry.
