Profile

Professor Elena Arechaga Ocampo is a biologist graduated from the School of Biological Sciences of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos. She did her undergraduate thesis at the Nitrogen Fixation Research Center (currently CCG) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), where she worked on aspects of plant molecular biology. Subsequently, she completed her Master´s and Ph.D. in Molecular Biomedicine at CINVESTAV, working on the study of the expression and function of apoptotic proteins in cervical-uterine cancer.

From 2008 to 2014, she was an Associate Researcher at the National Cancer Institute, working initially in clinical research focused on the response to antineoplastic treatments in lung cancer. Based on her observations, she initiated a line of research based on the use of genomic and molecular biology tools to study the expression and function of microRNAs in tumor cells resistant to radiotherapy.

Since January 2014 she is a Professor at the Department of Natural Sciences of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Cuajimalpa Campus.

At the University, she continues working in her research line and teaches the courses of General Microbiology, Introduction to Molecular Biology, Biochemistry I, Cell Biology, Cell Biology II, Molecular Biology Techniques I, II, III, and Selected Topics. In the Graduate Program in Natural Sciences and Engineering (PCNI), she teaches Molecular Biology and Selected Topics UEAs.

She has trained two undergraduate students, six Master's students, and two Ph.D. students. She has been an advisor of 12 Master´s students and nine Ph.D. students.

She has published 24 original articles, three review articles, eight book chapters, three popular science articles, two laboratory manuals, and the edition of one book.

She has participated in several national and international congresses.

She has organized the 1st National Symposium on Oncogenomics and Cancer Proteomics and the First Conference on Neuroscience in the framework of the Brain Week 2018; supported by the Mexico City Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience (CDMX-SFN). He belongs to the National System of Researchers Level I, has PRODEP Profile and is a member of the Academic Body of Cell and Tissue Physiology of the Division of Natural Sciences and Engineering (DCNI).
