Skills and track record
My first contributions in gender were on industrial studies in Mexico (Tequila industry) and the women participation during the growth and modernisation after 2000 year. My interest was deeper in gender and plants with myths, symbols and women uses of Agave genus plants. Recently, after studies in Sciences of medicines development I found what important is gender in medical research and how this subject has been almost ignored. Actually using tools, frameworks and ideas about the Exposome human project and Epigenetics I work with a new approach about violence against women. My skills are achieved in plant science, ecology tools. sustainable theories and practices and economics basis.
