Mexican, ex-Berliner, now in California. Postdoc in the Patapoutian lab at the Scripps Research Institute. studying mechanotransduction

San Diego, CA
Joined February 2012
So happy to share our work studying the role of Piezo2 in the gut. We found that this mechano sensor is necessary to keep a proper gut transit, not too fast, not too slow! cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

At times like today, I am reminded why the work we do to make higher education equitable for minoritized scientists is vital. Over the next 4 years, we will see higher education face one of its most critical challenges due to an expansion of the anti-DEI laws as US colleges will continue to see a sharp drop in enrollment of students of color, elimination of funding for diversity programs and scholarships, and the lack of support for minoritized students. While universities are restricted with these measures, it will be up to businesses and non-profits to take up the mantle. Even with our limited resources, I will not falter and will continue to persevere as our STEM education work is critical during this time. I look forward to working with my community, foundations, and anyone who wants to make a difference in the future of our students.

What proteins surround PIEZO1 on the cell surface? We used a mass spec proteomic approach to capture a snapshot of the PIEZO1 interactome. One of these candidates, CADM1/SynCAM, slows the inactivation kinetics of PIEZO1 with little effect on PIEZO2. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…
