Endocrinology and Metabolic Syndrome

Biography

Diana Alvarado has got her first Researcher Professor position in Universidad del Valle de México a year ago and became part of the Researchers National System. She has acquired experience on molecular biology and techniques to detect DNA damage, like Comet assay and Micronuclei assay, as well as the spectrophotometric techniques to detect oxidative stress. One of the reasons for which she chose as her research line obesity, is because Mexico is amongst the first world places of obesity and related diseases as obesity and metabolic syndrome. With this research line she has the purpose to show a practical, yet early way to diagnose, prevent and treat in a more specifical way, all of the comorbilities related to obesity, which have become at least in our country, the main causes for death. Passionated for her work, as a young researcher, she is looking for opportunities to establish collaboration networks with other researchers doing similar things which could be eventually translated into wellbeing for people with this disease.
