Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaulina Ponce is a genomic epidemiologist and postdoctoral researcher with nine years of experience dissecting the pan-genomics and drug-resistance dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Grounded in bioinformatics, molecular biology and a PhD in Biotechnology from Tecnológico de Monterrey, she combines wet-lab expertise with computational analyses to track pathogen diversity and inform public health strategies. Her recent appointments span San Diego State University and the LPCDRP lab in Ensenada, reflecting cross-border collaborations and translational focus. Paulina has a track record of supervising and training students, managing complex genomic projects, and applying comparative genomics approaches to reveal hidden resistance and diversity signals. She is particularly skilled at turning large-scale sequencing data into actionable insights for drug discovery and disease control. Outside tuberculosis research, her early work on natural product biosynthetic pathways and plant genomics hints at a broad curiosity for evolutionary genomics and applied microbiology.
