I'm currently working in the Department of Algal Development and Evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Biology (Tübingen, Germany) with Prof. Susana M. Coelho, but I will soon start my own research group at the Center for Research and Advanced Studies (Cinvestav), Unit Irapuato (Guanajuato, Mexico). I received my Ph.D. degree and my Bachelor's in Biology from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). During my Ph.D., I worked with Prof. Luis E. Eguiarte to study the evolutionary dynamics of pumpkin genomes using comparative and population genomics. As a postdoctoral researcher, my work is focused on the evolution of brown algae (Phaeophyceae), a eukaryotic lineage that evolved complex multicellularity independently from plants or animals. My research interest is to understand the connection between the emergence of taxonomically-restricted genes and their integration into complex biological traits.
