Profile

Professor Gabriela López studied a B.Sc. in Biology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and an M.Sc. in Experimental Biology at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM). Her research work is in Reproductive Biology, and her main line of research is the effect of stress on reproductive parameters in ruminants.
