I am a PhD student in Biostatistics at the University of Washington, with a background in Mathematics (University of Sonora) and Internal Medicine (INCMNSZ/UNAM). My research, supervised by Dr. Andrea Rotnitzky, focuses on developing methods for estimating causal effects of continuous exposures in the presence of unmeasured confounding, with applications to identifying correlates of protection in vaccine trials. This work aims to identify immune markers that reliably predict vaccine efficacy, improving the design of future trials and the assessment of vaccine effectiveness.

In addition to this research, I have worked on various research projects, including:

• Non-Inferiority Trials: Developing a general framework for active-controlled trials with Dr. Holly Janes.
• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: Conducting IPD meta-analyses to assess benefits for heart failure patients with Dr. Lurdes Inoue.
• Cancer Screening: Investigating bias in test sensitivity estimates with Dr. Ruth Etzioni.

I also collaborate with the INCMNSZ on research related to COVID-19, HIV/AIDS, antimicrobial resistance, cancer, and gastrointestinal diseases. Additionally, I am a member of Mexicans in Statistics and Health, a group dedicated to making complex scientific topics accessible to a broader audience.

My research interests include causal inference, machine learning, clinical trials, and cancer screening, with a focus on advancing statistical methods to improve health outcomes.
