My name is Ana Laura. I am from Mexico, where I did my bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry at the Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLAP). After completing my bachelor studies, I did my master degree in Molecular Medicine at the University of Sheffield in the UK. In 2022 I joined the Department of Molecular Pharmacology as a PhD candidate, focusing my research on understanding the molecular mechanisms of respiratory viruses and air pollution on the lung epithelium.
