Doctoral Student in Biomedical Sciences (PDCB) at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
My research focuses on bias-free Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) for complex traits and diseases in the Mexico City Prospective Study (MCPS) cohort — one of the largest genotyped cohorts in Latin America with ~138,000 individuals. I use family-based GWAS (FGWAS) methods, including Mendelian Imputation of parental genotypes, to disentangle direct genetic effects from population stratification in recently admixed Mexican genomes.
Core methods: snipar · Mendelian Imputation · FGWAS (Unified, Robust, NT estimators) · LD Score Regression · SuSiE fine-mapping · VEP annotation · Mendelian Randomization
