Biography
I am an Assistant Professor at the National Institute for Geriatrics in Mexico City, an Instructor in Physiology and Applied Biostatistics at the National Autonomous University Faculty of Medicine in Mexico and a Lown Scholar at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Our research focuses in characterizing cardio-metabolic disease epidemiology and the interaction of cardio-metabolic disease phenotypes with biological aging in Mexican adults. Our team is working on the development of methods to estimate biological aging at a population level. I am committed to teaching, promoting reproducibility and open science, fostering international collaboration, and supporting career development.
