Profile

Dr. Alejandra Caballero Zamora earned her degree in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). She completed her Master of Science in Animal Production and Animal Health at the same institution, graduating with Honors. She holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural Sciences with a specialization in Animal Genetic Improvement from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Xochimilco Unit.

She currently serves as a Professor-Researcher in the Department of Agricultural and Animal Production at the Xochimilco Unit, where she teaches in the Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science undergraduate program, as well as in the Master’s and Ph.D. programs in Agricultural Sciences. She has served as Head of the Research Area in Veterinary and Animal Production Sciences and has actively participated in several academic committees, including Social Service, Research, and Curriculum Evaluation Committees. She has also contributed as a proponent to the Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee of the Master’s and Ph.D. programs in Agricultural Sciences.

She coordinates the Academic Teaching Groups for the Teaching-Learning Units “Management of Reproductive and Genetic Efficiency” and “Fundamental Procedures in Biostatistics.”

In the area of human resource development, she has supervised research projects at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. She has directed 13 undergraduate theses in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science; at the master’s level, she has supervised three graduates and currently advises five students in progress; and at the doctoral level, she has supervised one graduate and is currently directing one doctoral research project.

Her academic output includes more than thirty original research presentations at national and international conferences, fourteen articles published in indexed journals, and three publications in international science outreach journals. She has also served on organizing and scientific committees for academic events at both national and international levels.

In terms of professional engagement and industry collaboration, she serves as an advisor to the Genetic Improvement Program of Genética MarSel S.A. de C.V., a company formed through the partnership of Maricultura del Pacífico and Grupo Selecta. The company integrates cutting-edge genomic technologies into breeder selection, contributing to the advancement of Mexico’s shrimp farming sector.
