I obtained my PhD in Biochemistry at the Instituto de Biotecnología (UNAM, Mexico), where I studied the trithorax-group protein Tonalli A (TnaA), a SUMO E3 ligase that regulates the expression of Hox genes during Drosophila development. My project in the lab aims to understand whether transient disruptions of Polycomb-mediated epigenetic memory can trigger brain tumor formation in Drosophila, using approaches such as inhibition of Polycomb function or alteration of Polycomb nuclear condensates. A central goal is to understand how these perturbations promote cancer by destabilizing transcriptional programs and disrupting epigenetic memory.
