Profile
Soy una cientista en alimentos interesada en el estudio de microorganismos. En particular mis intereses se centran en el estudio de comunidades de microorganismos y el rol que tienen en el procesamiento de productos alimenticios y bebidas. También es de mi interés el estudio de organismos patogénicos y sus mecanismos de sobrevivencia en productos alimenticios diversos, así como evaluar formas para su prevención y control. Mi meta es incorporar conocimiento científico y aplicaciones prácticas para desarrollar productos alimenticios nuevos e inocuos.
