I have a bachelor’s degree in general Biology from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). I then got a master degree from the Erasmus Mundus Master Programme in Evolutionary Biology. I am currently close to finish my PhD in Uppsala University on Fungal Evolutionary genomics. I have experience working with genomic data of marine invertebrates and specially fungi to explore the evolution of mating types, asexuality, hybridization, and more recently, meiotic drive and speciation.
