LANGEBIO Award2018 finalists

PhD student at Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán and Instituo de Investigacio-nes Biomédicas, UNAM. Her research has focused in the regulation of renal salt transport in di�erent physiologi-cal and pathological conditions.

Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences at Instituto de Neurobiología, UNAM. His research is focused on understanding the structure-func-tion relationship of vasoinhibin, an antiangiogenic protein. His integrative approach involves from molecular dynamic simulations to recombinant production of di�erent isoforms and their analysis in various in vitro and in vivo vascular models.

PhD in Sciences, at Instituto de Ecología, UNAM. He has studied the ecological and geographic patterns of local adaptation. Currently he is studying the impact that climate change will have on populations of wild and cultivated maize.

PhD in Biological Sciences, currently at Origin of Life Laboratory, Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM. His research has focused on the origin and early evolution of viruses and the relationship with the phylogeny of their hosts.

PhD in Molecular Biomedicine. His work has been focusing on the role of the bone marrow microenvironment in the origin, maintenance and immunosurveillance of leukemia-ini-tiating cell and competition with normal hematopoietic stem cells for the niche by using a novel 3D organoid-like stromal cell co-culture system and patient-derived xenografts.

PhD in Biochemical Sciences at UNAM. His research is focused on studying the conformational landscape of natural proteins and how this knowledge about structure, folding and stability can be applied to de novo protein design.
