In pursuit of my PhD at the EHESS and the Cermes3 research institute in France, I conducted research on genetic medicine and genomic research with an emphasis on diabetes in Mexico. I was especially interested how genetic technologies were put to work in explaining diabetes prevalence in the Mexican population. I paid particular attention to public health policies, epidemiological transition, health care reforms, and changing ways of living and eating.

Within the Bridging the Gaps program I carried out research into the stigmatization and access to care of people living with HIV/AIDS in the LGBTQI+ community in Ecuador.

I was involved in a project on drug use and the impact of drug policy, law enforcement and harm reduction in Argentina, and I assisted in research conducted by the Correlation - European Harm Reduction Network and the University of Lancaster about the experiences of users and managers of drug consumption facilities in the Netherlands and across Europe.
