Prof. Vanessa Labrada-Martagón

Prof. Labrada is a professor at the Science Department at UASLP. She is interested in the relationship between ecology and health. In particular, she has found that the health of wild turtles is an excellent way to understand whether an environment is healthy. Furthermore, she has found that erythrocytes nuclei of sick turtles are not “normal”. We are collaborating with her lab to further characterize these abnormalities.
