Nuestro grupo está abocado a catalogar, identificar y luego estudiar la estructura y funciones de proteínas desconocidas de los huevos de caracoles invasores, plaga del agro y vectores de parásitos. Esperamos comprender sus estrategias reproductivas desde el punto de vista bioquímico y al mismo tiempo, seleccionar algunas de estas nuevas proteínas con potencial como compuestos bioactivos para explorar su aplicación en biomedicina.
