I am biologist graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. I joined the CIMPAT to work on a project about eco-epidemiology of Leishmaniasis performing taxonomic identification of Phlebotominae sandflies. I obtained my Master's degree in Biological Sciences in the Universidad de Los Andes working on the ecology and taxonomy of species belonging to the genus with medical importance Lonomia (Saturniidae) present in Colombia. My research interests are related to eco-epidemiology, zoonotic diseases and medical entomology.
Our Center’s vision is to improve the quality of life and the health of people suffering from neglected tropical diseases, conducting research aimed to determine the risk factors involved in the diseases transmission to humans and animals, the parasite biology and pathogenesis.
