María Guadalupe Frías-De-León received a doctorate in
Biological Sciences in 2012, from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de
México (UNAM). She is a researcher in Medical Sciences at the
Regional Hospital of High Specialty of Ixtapaluca, and is a
professor of Medical Mycology at the UNAM, Mexico. She belongs to
the National System of Researchers Level 1, Mexico. Her research is
directed at opportunistic pathogenic fungi, especially Candida
spp., addressing issues of diagnosis and molecular
epidemiology.
Carolina Brunner-Mendoza Associated Professor in the
Department of Microbiology and Parasitology, Universidad Autónoma
de México (UNAM), Mexico. Her research studies include
phylogenetics of entomopathogenic fungus and analysis of airborne
microbiome. She is currently working on the molecular epidemiology
of sporotrichosis.
María del Rocío Reyes-Montes Professor of Universidad
Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) since 1997. She received his
degree in Pharmacobiological Chemistry in 1977, the degree of MD
(Immunology) in 1982 and the doctorate in Biomedical Sciences in
1993 by the UNAM. Her research with fungi has focused on Molecular
Epidemiology of pathogenic fungi, obtaining molecular markers for
the identification and typification of pathogenic fungi and
Molecular diagnosis of pathogenic fungi, especially with the
Aspergillus and Coccidioides fungal models and he is currently
working on molecular epidemiology of Dermatophytes.
Esperanza Duarte-Escalante obtained the degree of Dra. in
Biological Sciences in 2014. She works at the Faculty of Medicine
of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and has the
appointment of Titular Academic Technician "C" and Associate
Professor. She has directed a bachelor's thesis and social service.
She has participated as a visiting professor in graduate courses
and has been a member of tutorial committees for graduate students.
She has participated as an invited reviewer in scientific journals.
She has participated in 32 articles published in international
scientific journals with impact factor. She belongs to the Program
of Premiums for the Performance of Full-Time Academic Personnel
(PRIDE) granted by the DGAPA-UNAM, with level “D”, in addition
belongs to the National System of Researchers Level 1. She has
worked fundamentally in the lines of research “Molecular
epidemiology of pathogenic fungi” and “Obtaining molecular markers
for the diagnosis of pathogenic fungi”, mainly focused on the
models Aspergillus spp., Coccidioides spp. and dermatophytes.
