About the Author

Tamara Rosenbaum obtained her B.Sc in Biology and then her Doctorate Sciences from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). After her postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Sharona Gordon at the University of Washington, she established her own lab in the Instituto de Fisiología Celular at UNAM in late 2004. Since then she has worked on the structure-function relationships of the TRPV1 channel.
