Later, in 2014, she undertook a research stay at Aalborg University in the Microbial Communities Center, where she studied culture-independent techniques for the identification of microorganisms.
Additionally, using single-phase biological bioreactors, she studies the emissions of volatile organic compounds to produce high-value extracellular proteins and biopolymers like polyhydroxyalkanoates.
As part of this research, monitoring was conducted within a pediatric office, where bioaerosol concentrations were found to be 10,000 times higher than the levels accepted by the World Health Organization.
[10][11] In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she began disseminating information through Mexican mass media to raise awareness about the viability of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the air for up to three hours.
This suggests that the virus can be transmitted through the air, so to prevent its spread, the use of masks and proper ventilation in areas with infected patients should be implemented.
