Biography
Nidia Leon-Sicairos has her expertise in evaluation of proteins and peptides with antimicrobial and antitumoral activities such as lactoferrin and derived peptides. Her
research is focus in to describe the mechanism for which lactoferrin and its peptides exert its microbicidal and antitumoral effects in vitro and in vivo. The pathogens and
tumoral cells target for these studies are those that cause infections in immunosuppressed patients, and in cells derived from leukemia, mama and lungs. The idea is to
have new compounds that can help to patients in the fight against cancer and infections linked to this group of diseases.
