I'm currently Research Assistant at the Fontana Lab in Harvard's Systems Biology department, working with rule-based models of biochemical reaction networks. I studied the Genomic Sciences Progamme at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. I learned about OpenWetWare from Teamates, and I joined to participate with my team on our 2010 iGEM project.
