Eva Ramón Gallegos Explained

Eva Ramón Gallegos is a Mexican scientist, professor and researcher at the Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biológicas of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional.^[1] Her field of specialty is in biomedical sciences and nanobiotechnology. Her main line of research is the search for non-invasive treatments for the eradication of the uterine cervical cancer produced by the human papilloma virus (HPV), using photodynamic therapies.^{[2] [3]}

Biography

Together with the researcher Elizabeth Maldonado, and after 20 years of research, Eva Ramón Gallegos developed a method by which, in an economical and efficient way, the human papillomavirus could be detected in women. The technique has a precision of 98 percent and is based on the analysis of the roughness of the skin and the modifications that occur when there are benign, premalignant, and malignant lesions.^[4] The results of the research were published in 2005 in the journal Physics in Medicine and Biology.^[5] In 2017, Gallegos was part of a team that was determining the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in eliminating HPV-16 and HPV-18.^[6]
