Aquaculture Genetics & Breeding Lab
Dr. Ana Maria Ibarra interests are in biology, aquaculture, and genetics. Her undergrad education in the UAM-Iztapalapa (Mexico City) introduced her not
only to biology, but to the applied field of aquaculture, a field in which she pursued her Master’s degree at Oregon State University (USA). While at OSU, she was introduced to Genetics in Aquaculture, the field that became her
fascination and in which she pursued her Ph.D. in Genetics at the University of California in Davis. She returned to Mexico in 1990, founding the Aquaculture Genetics and Animal Breeding Group and Laboratories at CIBNOR, and carrying
research in Genetics, Genomics, and Genetic Improvement in Aquaculture.

Pavel Galindo Torres is a PhD student at CIBNOR-Mexico. He has an undergraduate degree in Biochemical Engineering from the Technological Institute of La Paz, B.C.S. Mexico. He obtained his M.Sc. degree at CIBNOR working with sex related genes in the Pacific white shrimp L. vannamei. He is interested in the application of transcriptomics, genomics and genome editing on aquaculture species. He is currently working on Sex determination/differentiation and triploid sterility genes in the scallop Nodipecten subnodosus. Contact me
Itzia Lopez Cuadros is a PhD student at CIBNOR-Mexico. She has an undergraduate degree in Marine Biology from the Autonomous University of Baja
California Sur (UABCS) at La Paz BCS, and a M. Sci. degree at CIBNOR working with the genetic characterization of the Sex-lethal gene in Litopenaeus vannamei. She is currently working on her PhD studying the function of
the Sxl gene on sex determination and differentiation in L. vannamei through its inhibition by interfering RNA. Contact me
Roberto Arredondo Espinoza is a PhD student at CIBNOR-Mexico. He is currently studying the epigenetic regulations in genes related in thermal stress response in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Contact me
