as a Quechua Amazonian evolutionary biologist, I aim to study Indigenous plants and promote their sustainable use, addressing challenges like food insecurity, biodiversity and knowledges loss.

My dream is to strengthen research in the Andes and Amazon by collaborating with Indigenous communities to explore the regions' amazing flora and knowledges. By leveraging natural history collections through our cosmovision, advanced genomic, biochemical, ecological, and ethnobotanical methods, I will help build local research capacity and promote better livelihoods.
