Biography:
Biologist, obtained her PhD from Lancaster University, UK. She joined the Postgraduate College in 1996, and as a member of the Postgraduate Program in Botany. She has observed that the growing resistance to commercial antimicrobial products developed by pathogenic microorganisms that attack plants or humans is a growing concern, leading to a search for natural and accessible options for their control. Likewise, health problems such as cancer and metabolic syndrome could be treated in a complementary way with products obtained from plant species. Furthermore, the results of her research add value to species that could be displaced by changes in human activities, through collaboration with producers who are trained in the production of new products.
