Profile

Professor María Del Socorro Imelda Retana Márquez has a Biology degree from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Iztapalapa Campus, with a Master's and Ph.D. in Physiological Sciences at the Institute of Biomedical Research of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). She obtained the Teaching Award in 2013.

The disciplinary areas in which she works are Reproduction and Neuroscience.

Her field of expertise is Neuropsychoneuroendocrinology of stress and its impact on reproduction, fertility, learning, and memory, as well as neurochemical disorders caused by prenatal stress.

She has published 68 international research articles and 23 book chapters, has coordinated two scientific research books, and has more than 150 presentations at national and international congresses.

She has formed a research area and a group within the UAM Iztapalapa Campus, coordinated several research projects, and has had a project approved by CONACYT for three years.

She has been a member of the National Society of Physiological Sciences and the Society for Neuroscience since 1999. She has been head of the area, and has belonged to the Academic Commission of the Doctorate in Biological and Health Sciences.

She is currently the Coordinator of the Master's Program in Reproductive Biology.

She has published articles on her research work, has the distinction of belonging to the National System of Researchers, and has supervised 15 Master's theses and 9 Ph.D. theses.
