Since November 2019, she is an Associate Professor of the Faculty of Medicine from Universidad de los Andes. She is the PI of the Laboratory of Nutrition, Metabolism and Reproduction. Her group conducts research on the physiological processes and pathophysiological mechanisms that explain the impact of nutritional and metabolism on female reproduction. Their main lines of research are focused on the consequences of maternal alterations in lipid and glucose metabolism, as well as subclinical deficiencies of some micronutrients, on different processes of female fertility and pregnancy. The impact of malnutrition by deficit or excess on offspring health is also a matter of interest in her lab.
