Short Bio
I am from Medellin, Colombia, South America.
I studied medicine and I did my rural social service in the Pacific Coast of Colombia (Nuqui, Choco) (Dec 1994 to Feb 1996) . Then I did a master in Immunology learning about the immune response to Paracoccidioides spp ( 1997 to 2000); after this, I did several fellows: in San Diego- California working on the innate immune response to Coccidioides ( 2000 to 2001). Thereafter, I went to Barcelona, Spain and I worked (learned) about a model of pharmacokinetics in an infectious endocarditis model (2002 to 2003). After that I did a PhD learning about the innate immune response to Coccidiodes in collaboration with San Diego- California ( 2004 to 2008) and later on I did a possoctoral fellow in fungal vaccine immunology at the University of Texas at San Antonio (2011 to 2012). Since 2008 until now, Iam professor at School of Medicine at the Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia.
