Lorena Jiménez Díaz - Genetic Mutations

Author Information

Lorena Díaz is affiliated with the Molecular Genetics and Antimicrobial Resistance Unit at the International Center for Microbial Genomics, Universidad El Bosque in Bogotá, Colombia. Her research is primarily focused on microbial genetics and antimicrobial resistance, contributing significant insights into the epidemiology and molecular mechanisms of various bacterial pathogens.

Research Contributions

Lorena Díaz has made substantial contributions to the field of microbial genetics and antimicrobial resistance. Her work spans the clinical and molecular epidemiology of vancomycin-resistant enterococcal bacteremia, rapid detection methods for antibiotic resistance, and the genomic characterization of various bacterial pathogens such as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Burkholderia pseudomallei. Notably, her research often employs advanced techniques such as machine learning to predict bacterial resistance patterns and metabolomic profiling to understand bacterial behavior under different antibiotic pressures.
