Profile
Professor Aida Hamdan Partida is a Pharmaceutical Chemistry Biologist who graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), in 1986, with a degree in Differential Diagnosis of Dengue and Rubella diseases. She worked in the Pharmaceutical Industry from 1987 to 1994 in the area of Drug Evaluation and raw materials in different pharmaceutical laboratories. In 2000, she graduated from a Master's Degree in Biotechnology, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), with the topic of Biomonitoring: Monitoring of microbial populations in bioremediation processes of contaminated soils. Diploma in Genomic Sciences in 2006, with the thesis on Pathogenicity Islands. Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the Xochimilco Campus in 2011, with the topic "Molecular characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in the Mexican population". She was awarded a CONACYT scholarship for the Master's degree in Biotechnology, and the Ph.D. in Biological and Health Sciences. D. work was the winner of the research award granted by the UAM in 2011.
She participated in different research projects, she collaborated in the Biopulp project, in isolation of lactic strains from coffee pulp, a project sponsored by the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD) (Research Institute for Development) and the Biotechnology Department of the Iztapalapa Campus of the UAM, collaborating with Dr. Gaime in the years 1999-2002.
She participates in projects of the Biological and Health Sciences Division of the UAM Xochimilco Campus such as: Molecular characterization of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from healthy carriers of the Mexican community; Selection and application of functional foods (prebiotics, probiotics, and symbiotics), to improve the survival, growth, reproduction and immune response of aquatic organisms; Synthesis of silver and protein-crown nanocomposites (AgPC) and compounds related to microbial activity.
She has written about 33 articles in indexed journals, ten book chapters such as Viral Genetics, and Family Coronoviridae. She has taught nearly 162 modules and UEAs, at undergraduate and graduate levels in undergraduate courses such as Pharmaceutical Chemist Biologist, Bachelor of Medicine, in Divisional Trunk of the Division of Biological and Health Sciences. She has also taught in the Master's Degrees in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Master's Degree in Agricultural Sciences, Master's Degree in Dental Sciences and Doctorate in Biological and Health Sciences, and postgraduate courses in PNPC.
She has supervised 15 graduate theses and about 60 social services of students at the undergraduate level. She has participated with more than 200 papers in National and International Congresses; and has taught several courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels on molecular biology and solid fermentation. She also participates in several institutional commissions such as: She is a reviewer of the Division of Biological and Health Sciences. She has been an organizing member of academic events such as the Congress of Medical Students, II Congress of Health Research, and the Congress of Pharmacology Students.
