Me and my work

I am from Mexiko and started my lab life here in late 2017 as a PhD student.

One of the landmark processes of meiosis is the formation of chromosome axes, which are elongated proteinaceous structures at the cores of chromosomes. Chromosome axes are crucial for the correct recombination of parental genomes in meiocytes. Axes control DNA break formation, repair and the quality control of DNA break repair. Hence, the axis is essential for the generation of healthy euploid gametes and fertility. My aim has been to understand the molecular network that underpins the diverse roles of the axis.
