About: I am a Parasitologist working in the Department of Clinical Laboratory at the University Hospital in Tegucigalpa, the main public health hospital in Honduras. I am also a faculty member of the Research Unit of the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Honduras (UNAH). I am member of the Instituto de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Parasitologia Antonio Vidal (IAV) board, a non-profit organization devoted to training, advising, and conducting research in the field of infectious diseases. I am an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine (SPHTM). I combine clinical laboratory work, teaching, and research activities with mentoring graduate and post-graduate students and faculty members performing health research, thereby building interdisciplinary bridges, promoting international collaboration, and networking to advance scientific research in Honduras.
