I am a postdoctoral research associate specializing in the interactions between bovine nutrition and reproduction. My research focuses on the role of nutrients, particularly essential amino acids in regulating embryo and placental development, and how these nutrients affect fertility and productivity in cattle. I integrate both in vitro and in vivo models to uncover how nutrient availability influences key molecular pathways during early gestation.

I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Florida, where I investigated the SLICK1 mutation in the PRLR gene and the use of CSF2 as potential strategies to mitigate cellular stress, such as heat stress, on embryonic development. I earned my M.S. at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and my veterinary degree from the University of Veracruz. My long-term goal is to develop innovative strategies to improve reproductive efficiency and sustainability in cattle production through a better understanding of maternal-embryo interactions and nutritional regulation during early embryo development.
