About
Obtuve mi grado de Bioquímica en la Universidad Austral de Chile y mi doctorado en Biotecnología en la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso en conjunto con la Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. Actualmente, soy profesora asistente en la Universidad Autónoma de Chile, impartiendo docencia en diversas carreras como Enfermería, Nutrición y Dietética, Química y Farmacia, entre otras. Mi trayectoria incluye mi rol como docente en programas de magíster y doctorado, destacando mi participación en la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Universidad de Valparaíso y la Universidad Autónoma de Chile. He dirigido diversas tesis de pre y postgrado, con foco en el estudio de péptidos bioactivos y sus aplicaciones biotecnológicas.
Además, he participado activamente en seminarios y cursos a nivel nacional e internacional en relación a las áreas de biotecnología y bioquímica. He contribuido significativamente en proyectos de investigación, incluyendo los financiados por FONDECYT, centrados en temas que abarcan la identificación de péptidos bioactivos y REDES/FOVI, que abarcan el estudio de péptidos para el control de patógenos en acuicultura.
Mis investigaciones han sido publicadas en diversas revistas científicas, aportando a la literatura en campos como nanotecnología, inmunología, y biotecnología.
