I am a biotechnology researcher specializing in aptamer selection and biosensor development for infectious and non-infectious diseases. As coordinator of Baltymas Lab at the Instituto Colombiano de Medicina Tropical and General Coordinator of REDIBA, my work combines Bio-SELEX, in silico modeling, and point-of-care assay design, including lateral flow strips and electrochemical biosensors. My track record includes a granted patent for E. histolytica aptamers (MX 432261 B) and three active patent pipelines: rapid amebiasis diagnostics, glaucoma detection, and bovine semen sexing. I seek industrial partnerships and licensing to scale synthetic aptamers into point-of-care tools.
