BIO
My research interests are oriented towards understanding the determinants of treatment response, and diagnostic and therapeutic product development for Neglected Tropical Diseases. Since 2012 I have participated in multiple projects, ranging from translational and epidemiological research to clinical trials, all aimed to improve management of patients with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Colombia. Additionally, I am a GCP and GHRP trainer in the TDR supported Regional Training Center in CIDEIM (Cali, Colombia), and have responsibility for the training of clinicians in endemic areas about the diagnosis and management of cutaneous leishmaniasis, as a capacity building strategy.
In 2017 I was granted with an EDCTP/TDR Research and Development Fellowship, to receive training in vaccine development focusing on diseases of poverty at the European Vaccine Initiative (EVI), a Product Development Partnership based in Germany.
