Bio

I received my MD degree from the University of Antioquia (Colombia) in 2013. After graduating I spent the next three years working as sub investigator in the Neuroscience Group of Antioquia (GNA), where I performed clinical research in patients with genetic neurodegenerative diseases, mainly Alzheimer's Disease due to mutations in PSEN1 gene. I was a clinical instructor in the University of Antioquia School of Medicine (2014-2016) before moving to UCSB.
