Profile
Dr. Adriana Lizbeth Juárez Rojas is a graduate of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Unidad Iztapalapa. She studied Experimental Biology in 2007. She obtained her Master's degree in Experimental Biology in 2011 with the thesis "Effect of chronic stress on spermatogenesis in the male rat". She received her Ph.D. in Experimental Biology in 2015, with the thesis "Activation of intrinsic and extrinsic signaling pathways in testicular apoptosis generated by acute or chronic stress and its impact on sperm quality."
She is an Associate Professor and is attached to the Department of Reproductive Biology, Area of Behavioral and Reproductive Biology, and Laboratory of Reproductive Neuropsychoendocrinology at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Iztapalapa Campus.
She teaches General Chemistry with the introduction to basic knowledge about the molecular structure of matter, the structure of molecules, nomenclature of chemical components, chemical bonds, and the acid-base concept is analyzed in the application of buffer solutions; Agricultural Biometry Workshop l, giving basic concepts and applications related to Descriptive Statistics; Agricultural Biometry Workshop ll, basic concepts and applications related to Inferential Statistics; Formulation and Evaluation of Projects l; and Formulation and Evaluation of Projects ll. In the Master's Degree in Biology of Animal Reproduction: Parturition, Gestation, and Lactation; Analysis of the processes involved in fertilization in vertebrates, embryonic development, and gestation.
Her lines of research are the Study of the effect of stress on different aspects of mammalian reproductive function; Cell death by apoptosis in germ cells; Evaluation of alterations caused by stress in the hormones responsible for regulating the reproductive axis; and the Management of molecular and histological techniques such as inclusion and obtaining histological sections of reproductive organs, immunohistochemistry, western blot, spermatobioscopy and evaluation of steroid hormones.
