Leidy Rocío Pico Martínez

I am a Biologist with a Master's degree in the same discipline. Throughout my professional career, I have cultivated a deep interest in the application of pure science areas such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics. My main focus in research has been centered around synthetic biology, where I have worked on designing modified proteins to enhance their function. Additionally, I have gained significant experience in the experimental field, particularly in the expression of proteins in microorganisms using molecular biology techniques.

My commitment to education has also been an integral part of my professional journey. I have dedicated time to university teaching, delivering courses in cell and molecular biology, chemistry, biochemistry, and laboratory techniques. My goal is to continue contributing both to teaching and research, always seeking new ways to enrich knowledge in my field and educate the next generation of scientists.

My main research interests are focused on the field of synthetic biology, with a specific emphasis on the design and production of proteins with potential biomedical, environmental, and industrial applications. Additionally, I am passionate about exploring the use of molecular biology techniques for medical diagnosis and treatment, particularly in areas such as regenerative medicine and biomaterial development.
