Undergraduate Teaching:
In 2018, He was a Participating Professor of APA-300 Genetics in the Agronomy and Biotechnology Major at the University of La Frontera. Additionally, in 2017, He played the role of Professor of Practice of Physiology ICQ-353 and Professor of Practice of Molecular Biology He ICQ-318 in the Biochemistry Major. Likewise, in 2015, He worked as a Molecular Biology Assistant ICQ-318 in the Biochemistry Major, and as a General Biology Assistant ARN-118 and a Plant Physiology Assistant ARN-268 in the Agronomy Major.
In 2014, He contributed as an RNA-334 Plant Tissue Culture Assistant in the Biotechnology Major, APA-380 Genetic Engineering Assistant in the Biotechnology and Civil Engineering Majors in Biotechnology, and APA-343 Molecular Biology Assistant in both majors. In 2013, He participated as an APA-343 Molecular Biology Assistant in the Biotechnology Major and an RNA-270 Plant Morphophysiology Assistant in the Biotechnology and Natural Resources Engineering Majors.
Improvements:
My constant quest for improvement included a Micropipette Course and Workshop in 2017, as well as participation in a Course on Preservation, Maintenance and Data Management of Strains of Microorganisms in Culture Collections in 2016. His also completed courses on Modeling for Prediction and Prevention of Mycotoxins in 2016, Design of CONICYT Projects and Instruments in 2016, and Polyphasic Identification of Microorganisms in 2016. Likewise, He acquired knowledge in Biosafety in Laboratories in 2015 and Basic Methods of Two-Dimensional Proteomics in 2013.
