Personal profile
Professional Information
Studied Engineering in Molecular Biotechnology at Universidad de Chile and performed a PhD training joining the Molecular and Cellular Biology Program, with a mention in Immunology, at Dartmouth College (New Hampshire, USA), from which she graduaded in 2010. During these postgraduate studies, carried out at the laboratory of Dr. Randolph J. Noelle, she gained a solid training in the use of experimental models (murine) such as skin transplantation, tumor, among others, to study immune tolerance.
Research Interests
In 2011, she returned to Chile and joined the Faculty of Medicine at Universidad de Chile thanks to the initiative Insertion of Advanced Human Capital into the Academia (CONICYT), ranking as the top selected applicant. This grant had as objective to insert the research line of cellular therapy for autoimmunity and tranplant rejection in this institution. From this year, she started her research team and in 2012 she began her independent scientific career when received the Initiation into Research grant from Fondecyt. In 2015 she joined Universidad de los Andes as Assistant Professor, and continues her investigation studying the role of T regulatory cells and their mechanisms of suppresion in transplantation tolerance funded by a Regular Fondecyt project. Currently, she is an academic of Facultad de Medicina, leading the Immunological Tolerance Group at Centro de Investigación e Innovación Biomédica at the same institution.
