Profile

Professor Mariana Peimbert is a biologist from the Faculty of Sciences of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), and holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the Institute of Biotechnology of the same institution. She has completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Laboratory of Experimental and Molecular Evolution. Institute of Ecology, UNAM, and in the Laboratory of Physicochemistry and Protein Engineering, Faculty of Medicine, UNAM.

She is currently a professor at the Department of Natural Sciences, Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Cuajimalpa Campus, where she teaches Cell Biology, Genetics, Evolution, Bioinformatics, and Biochemistry.

His main research interests are protein biochemistry (folding, stability, engineering, evolution) and environmental microbiology (microbiomes and metagenomics). Recently she is dedicated to the study of bacteria that travel in the subway.
