    Personal profile

    Professional Information

    A medical doctor specialized in Obstetrics and Gynecology, trained entirely at Universidad de los Andes, he has built a career that bridges clinical care, academic teaching, and research in maternal–fetal health. Currently, he serves as a faculty member at the School of Medicine at Universidad de los Andes, where he is actively involved in undergraduate education and scientific research projects aimed at the early prediction of pregnancy-related conditions. His clinical work at Clínica Universidad de los Andes allows him to maintain a hands-on, evidence-based approach focused on the well-being of both mother and fetus throughout pregnancy.

    Research interests

    His research interests are rooted in maternal–fetal medicine, with a specific focus on the early prediction of pregnancy-related complications such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. He has contributed to scientific projects that integrate biotechnology, biomarker analysis, and artificial intelligence tools to improve early detection and management of these high-impact conditions.

    Among his most significant research involvements is a study validating a multiparametric algorithm that uses maternal plasma biomarkers to predict the risk of developing gestational diabetes during early pregnancy. His research is part of the Maternal–Fetal Medicine Research Group at Universidad de los Andes, a multidisciplinary team where he has also contributed to publications exploring the predictive value of extracellular vesicles and placental phosphatases as non-invasive markers of gestational disease.

    Teaching

    In his teaching role, he actively contributes to the training of undergraduate medical students, particularly in clinical courses in obstetrics and gynecology. He provides an integrative perspective, where clinical experience is essential to help students understand theoretical concepts and strengthen their practical skills. He is recognized for his approachable teaching style and for bringing real-world clinical challenges into the academic setting.

    He also teaches elective courses focused on biomedical research, such as "Advanced Topics in Biomedicine," where he encourages critical thinking and scientific inquiry in the study of complex diseases. His passion for teaching extends to continuing medical education and academic collaboration with clinical teams in areas related to reproductive and perinatal medicine.
