Graduated in Biology - Universidad Industrial de Santander (2017). She has a background in Molecular Biology with an emphasis on curing and processing transcriptomic data generated with next-generation sequencing. PhD in Sciences - Toxinology (2023) in the postgraduate program in Toxinology at Instituto Butantan, where he developed a project involving the transcriptomic and proteomic composition of the venom of two tribes of opistoglyphal snakes. Using these data he was able to describe and understand the evolutionary processes (e.g. recruitment and gene duplication) that shaped the toxin composition of these groups of animals. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Butantan Institute in a project that aims to sequence the genomes of three Brazilian snake species to understand the evolution and origin of their toxins.

Advanced snakes developed a specialized toxin-producing maxillary gland, enabling them to inoculate toxins into their preys. This gave them an advantage over other predators and allowed for their trophic niche diversification. Among the wide spectrum of snake diversity in the neotropics, the family Dipsadidae harbors the highest amount of species. Among them, we found venomous and non-ven…
Advanced snakes developed a specialized toxin-producing maxillary gland enabling them to inoculate toxins into their prey. This gave them an advantage over other predators and allowed for their trophic niche diversification. Among the wide spectrum of feeding ecologies some snake groups became ophiophagous i.e. feeding mainly on other snakes. Due to the relationship between diet and venom…
