PhD
Dr. Maria del Carmen Rubio Osornio is a distinguished Medical Research Scientist and Academic Leader renowned for her contributions to the field of neurophysiology, particularly in the study of epilepsy and neurological disorders. As a recognized National Researcher Level II (SNI II) within Mexico’s National System of Researchers, she has built a career marked by scientific excellence, leadership, and a strong commitment to advancing biomedical knowledge. A native of Mexico, Dr. Rubio Osornio earned her Ph.D. in Biological and Health Sciences from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM-Xochimilco) in 2011, following a Master’s Degree in Psychobiology and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, both from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Her multidisciplinary academic background has supported a comprehensive approach to understanding the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying neurological dysfunction. Dr. Rubio Osornio currently serves as Academic Leader in the Department of Neurophysiology at the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery (INNN MVS), where she also holds the position of Medical Research Scientist “D” within Mexico’s Secretary of Health. Her research focuses on neurophysiological characterization and the molecular pathways involved in epilepsy, including the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and electrophysiological alterations in neuronal populations.
