I+D+i sobre infecciones de piel y cómo estas alteran el sistema inmune en otras enfermedades cutáneas, por ejemplo, la dermatitis atópica. Estudio y desarrollo de métodos diagnósticos y terapéuticos para infecciones y otras enfermedades.

Me he dedicado a la formación de estudiantes de medicina, biología, bioquímica, kinesiología, fonoaudiología, entre otros, a través de la distintas cátedras y ayudantías.

Cuando llegué al Laboratorio del Dr. Borzutzky, encontré un ambiente ideal para poder combinar y trabajar plenamente. Él me integró como una par en su equipo y me entregó la confianza para buscar y liderar mis propios proyectos. La conexión intelectual y su disposición para acompañarme en mis ideas, ha sido fundamental en estos últimos años. Con los resultados de mi memoria de Bioquímica comencé a involucrarme en el emprendimiento de base científico-tecnológica, liderando MicrobeSkin y SkinPrebiotic en distintos concursos del área (FONDEF VIU, JUMP CHILE, BRAIN CHILE, etc). A su vez, he podido aportar en otras áreas I+D del laboratorio (AllerGIplex, DC-peanut). Con el desarrollo de MicrobeSkin durante mi doctorado, he ampliado mi liderazgo, herramientas y habilidades necesarias para ser parte de este proceso de transferencia tecnológica.

He participado de los siguientes proyectos, clases y otros:
